StraightSilver Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Stunning stuff, the family photo is pretty epic, Lorgar looks tiny compared to Horus and Angron though. And I'd forgotten how cool your Word Bearers are, the battle damage and the metallic red look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hey guys, I took some pics of the most recently finished unit for the Word Bearers. Gal Vorbak! Ultimate bad asses of the WB legion. I played these at a recent tournament and they kicked ass and took names, only dropping one game out of 6 to a Alpha legion army. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/76CE5C38-3053-443F-B48A-BE33D580704A_zpsjt0kspub.jpg As you can see I modified the models to remove the duplication of the 5 sculpts. For this I used a liberal application of spawn pieces and green stuff to blend them together. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/39CF551A-FD93-4DE9-B04C-DFA55EF99636_zpsc2r3wtwi.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/0A98977C-1D88-4987-B5E2-5990381010CB_zpsasmqmlgk.jpg They will form a nice body guard for Lorgar in his ride for bigger games, and a solid backbone for normal sized games. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/718804A7-C827-4D9D-8A62-1DE187BBCF9A_zps9fthh4ft.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/2C787CA5-899A-4256-B612-BC9F20F13491_zpsxvwidtoe.jpg I'm looking forward to seeing what FW do for an Argel tal model (I hope they do one at least) because the sculpts are some of my favourites from FW, with the jaws and teeth motif carried throughout the sculpts being super creepy. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/F0FDC635-F34B-4DF3-B604-BB3B12DB90A9_zps5d8hb4lg.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/C6BC4622-8F17-4AB0-81A6-DDCD49177732_zpswrit8b7n.jpg I'm quite happy with how they came together, the only thing I might come back to is the flesh and add a bit of variation in the tones with washes and glazes, I'll also redo the black areas of some of them as the varnish seems to have eaten their highlights. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangaman Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Nice Gal Vorbak there Sheep! The spawn bits are seamless too, love the overhead extended spikes you have going on a few in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shard of Magnus Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Awesome job on the Gal Vorbak. I'm going to have to borrow the chaos spawn bits idea when I eventually get around to doing my own. Looking at the photos, it seems like there is a slight marbled effect on the red. It seems most evident on the legs in the last photo. Not sure if that is a trick from looking at this on my phone or an actual effect. Would you explain how you did it if it is the paint job?

sheep Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks all!! Ancient H: the marbling is a result of the dry brushing and the washes, it's a nice side effect of the multiple was a techique. Just a quick one today, talking to a friend about what I should do with my contemptor from the Battle at Calth set, and he suggested a Mhara gal. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/FCDD85D9-FBE6-4B4B-94E2-D787F46F2F58_zpsxq0uzgpm.jpg Considering the plan is had up til then was terrain, I immediately grabbed the gs and the bitz box. This is the first gs session wit minimal thought and rouge thumbs ruining my work. One thing I wanted to carry over was the animal skull and teeth from the gal vorbak, as I found them to be some of the freshest and creepiest details on the gal vorbak kit. More WIP shots soon. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier of Dorn Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Dear God, that is disturbing. Perhaps not Kierdale Spawn-level disturbing, but disturbing nonetheless. Also, what's his head from? I know it killed the cat, but I'm still curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corswain Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 All your stuff looks good but I'm really liking the start on that Mhara Gal in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Thanks gents :) The Psycho: the head is from the daemon prince kit, the one with the two vertical horns out of the forehead. I chopped off all the jaw, back of the head and horns and jammed it in there, seems to have worked so far :) Corswain: I do too, I'll try and get some more photos soon, as I really like where it's headed.

sheep Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hey all, long time between posts! Being a new father has been amazing, but takes a hell of a lot of time out of your day! I managed to finish the Mhara gal before she arrived though, so here's some pics I snapped recently. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/D53527CC-FC73-46F5-B40D-2FF2B21FEC81_zpsljym1frr.jpg I found some soul grinder components in my bitz box a added them to the fist, this I think suits the rules a lot better and continues the corruption theme nicely. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/ADFF118B-CF22-43FC-B460-E4863B04B037_zpsoks69k2s.jpg The back is fairly unadorned, I just had a lack of ideas as to how to dress it up, so a random growth was all that was added. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/4ECB4B14-3D68-4EFA-9E33-5720759087C5_zpsa5l4ir7q.jpg Dead marine and the plasma cannon arm were the last pieces to be completed quite happy with how "dead" the dead marine looks. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/7E360372-3722-4D0F-92C1-1A86BD483BCB_zpsdobrfiby.jpg This guy is now quite large, transport will be a problem for sure, but I'm really happy with he turned out, I just hope that he's worth the points cost and performs on the table at Inferno 2. Thanks for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChromeZephyr Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Oh, that dead marine is just awesome. There needs to be more desecrated corpses on Chaos models, and yours is a sterling example of why. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheep Posted March 29, 2016 Author Share Posted March 29, 2016 Thanks mate. I agree! Not enough dead lapdogs on word bearers bases and trophy racks for sure :D These are the WIP pictures of the second tactical squad, the three with bases were used during the Inferno tournament and so they jumped the queue. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/726D9114-2F78-4A06-BE52-6859634459C5_zpsidk880sf.jpg The rest of these are finished up to the point of needing varnish, which ofcourse I have run out of, or misplaced in a move. I just need to finish their bases so they can all be varnished in a batch. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m289/Sheep_06/Sons%20of%20Horus/Word%20Bearers/CDCE14AB-4838-47DA-AB73-2FE2A04EFC5A_zpsxtyelrbi.jpg The next batch of 9, will finish both current squads to 15 man each, and complete the compulksory troops selections for the armylist I'm planning on running at Inferno II. Quite a short post today, but I had these pics in my phone for a while and thought I could throw them up to show that there is still movement on the painting front. I'm trying desperately not to get motivated to do a Cults and Militia army using the new Genestealer cult models, but I can feel my willpower failing!
