Fire Golem Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I mocked up a WB tactical marine using one of my Reavers (waste not want not), and I really like the pose. But dyou think it looks too SoH? I dunno if it's just because that's what I associate that armour with now. Sorry the photos a bit hard to see, he was already undercoated. http://i.imgur.com/fNwZKDw.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307899-calth-ultramarinesword-bearers-log/page/2/#findComment-4055408 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 In Black, sure he'll look pretty SoH but with Red and Silver, no so much. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307899-calth-ultramarinesword-bearers-log/page/2/#findComment-4055411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yeah that's what I'm hoping. I really like the armour style, it's just quite hard to divorce the armour from the legion as I haven't seen it in any other colours really. Although Gizur showed the NL helms work for WB so...

Olis Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I had a couple of Reavers lying around, so I've shaved the symbols and the spikes off and given them regular mk4 helms. Not too shabby, I think.

Fire Golem Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 I like the spikes, and they're reasonably fitting for the Word Bearers..?

Slips Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I like the spikes, and they're reasonably fitting for the Word Bearers..? Pre-Heresy? No. Calth-era and beyond? Totes.

Fire Golem Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yah, they're Calth era. Cool. Guess painting will be the final test!

1ncarnadine Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I like the spikes, and they're reasonably fitting for the Word Bearers..? Pre-Heresy? No. Calth-era and beyond? Totes. Why not pre-heresy exactly? Pre-heresy IVth Legion had spikes, Remus Ventanus's artwork has spikes. Spikes for everyone! Edit: Wow Remus Ventanus really has spikes, like SoH style. At least in these pieces of art: 1 , 2 The pic of Ventanus in Tempest seems to match those pretty exactly, even down to the chest armour. Should be a great model. It's not pre-heresy exactly, more just a somewhat surprising detail as some might not be used to seeing spikes on a loyalist. The point is, some elements of the Legions (doesn't matter which or when) favor more brutal combat and have spikes. The SoH just have it more widespread. Those SoH parts should look glorious in red :) If you're worried and want to make them more "Word Bearers" you can try and paint little scribble-lines on the flat sections to represent the psalms of Lorgar/Erebus, or try affixing some GS parchment ribbons around. But just crimson paint will do most of the work.

Fire Golem Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Yeah I'll probably try and paint some of the runes/weird circle things on them. And I never noticed the spikes on Ventanus, that's interesting. Of all the legions, the UM are one is never have expected to go for that kinda thing. I built a Word Bearers... Something (sergeant or captain of some kind) just from some bits I had: http://i.imgur.com/UdWvOn0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Xo2lr5T.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sF4js7e.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307899-calth-ultramarinesword-bearers-log/page/2/#findComment-4056241 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Golem Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Thanks mate :) I also built 5 UMs but they're just the MkIII kit built, nothing exciting.

Fire Golem Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Just a quick group photo of the stuff I have so far. The left is Word Bearers and the right are Ultramarines, not glued to the bases because I've never done bases and I actually want to do something with them properly. http://i.imgur.com/WaYf87C.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307899-calth-ultramarinesword-bearers-log/page/2/#findComment-4057464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
