Charlo Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Phenomenal thus far. I especially like the Vindicators and the use of the 1KSons stuff!

DuskRaider Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun building and painting these, the Veterans in particular were a real treat. Speaking of which, as soon as I posted them last night I went on eBay and found more Soulreaper Cannons on the cheap, so I'll eventually replace the Heavy Bolters. I'm switching between the last of my vow and the new bases right now, I keep experimenting with them and I think I found the scheme I want that will both contrast and compliment the Word Bearers.

DuskRaider Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Yup...

DuskRaider Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 It's one of the Secret Weapon Shattered Ritual bases, as seen here: http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=79_30_148 I've managed to base one of my Leviathans and should have the Veteran Marksmen on their bases tomorrow or Friday. Now that I have my recipe down for them, they should go much faster. Unfortunately, this has all been to the detriment of my Delegatus and Terminators.

DuskRaider Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Despite completing my second vow on Saturday, I refrained from my weekly update yesterday to finish the bases for the entire Loyalty & Treachery event... and here's the result. First is my Delegatus and Tartaros Terminators completed and based. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_103756_zpssaa6wumh.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_103803_zpss7cpz6uh.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_103812_zpsfw34v5zj.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_103839_zpsymu3zc5f.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_103909_zpswlzmt0ur.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_103923_zpsxwiqtkr1.jpg Next is the completed Loyalty & Treachery Vows: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_104524_zpstajwfe72.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_104534_zpsq1pcxmnd.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_104540_zpskh1ff0sl.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170403_104546_zpssshfxksj.jpg I'm contemplating a third vow before the end of the event, however I'd only have 12 days to complete both the models and the bases... my Seekers. What do you think? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322436-duskraiders-word-bearers/page/10/#findComment-4702558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Weekly update... The Seeker Squad models are done. I'm not calling this vow 100% complete until the bases are also finished and these guys are firmly planted on then, which should be either tomorrow or the next day. I went very dark and monochrome with this squad. Instead of the usual Carrosburg Crimson wash on the red, I opted for Nuln Oil to make even the base coloration darker than normal. I didn't add any Runefang Steel highlights to the Leadbelcher trim like I usually do, and even the Legion icon is grey and silver instead of the normal papyrus and flame to insure that there wold be no gleam off of any steel to betray their position. This not only helps them in lowlight to dark conditions, but it also makes their lenses pop (which I assume would be the last thing their designated target would see). I really enjoyed painting these guys, even on a limited palette. Let me know what you think and once they're based I'll post them along with another group photo and call my vows officially finished! http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170409_230026_zps7grkb9mx.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170409_230041_zpseo4lhjmn.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170409_230048_zpsmtkzaqaj.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170409_230054_zps49281aij.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170409_230107_zpsjm0n03bo.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170409_230115_zpsjy0ia1ak.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170409_230128_zpslj6rgnci.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322436-duskraiders-word-bearers/page/10/#findComment-4707817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangaman Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 You know what, I think the Seekers red armour looks perfect...plus the Recon Bolters definitely marks them out as a unique unit. You got heaps done for the L&T event, you should be proud of the speed and quality work you produce mate!

bloodhound23 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I think the lenses and the shaded armor both look outstanding. I particularly like the champion/sergeant as well. The use of the TS parts works quite well with the pantheistic/primordial focus I have always liked about the Word Bearers. I look forward to seeing more.

The Traitor Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 That bases are awesome! Also they suit really well your force theme and colour scheme.

DuskRaider Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks everyone! I tried to ensure the bases would contrast the Word Bearers but also compliment their scheme and I think I found a good compromise. The camera filters out a lot of the coloration on the bases, unfortunately, because IRL they have a lot of blue-gray swirl in them. I actually surprised myself, they look pretty close to natural stone. Anyhow, I'm almost done with their bases and should have another update tonight, after which I have a bunch more to do while I wait for the rest of the models for my Shadow War warband, which I will most likely start another thread for, but I'll give a little information about them... mainly these pics to start with: http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170405_002324_zpsy5kht8pw.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170405_002333_zpst5kh14aw.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170405_002343_zpsiwem3hss.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170405_002352_zps6bxcqzme.jpg Yes, they are in fact Chaos... in fact, they're Word Bearers from my Chapter, but in the 41st millennium. The warband will be led by what is my Delegatus, only he will be much, much different... it's funny what 10,000 years will do to a man. As you can see, the Cultists have been assembled but need some greenstuff work as well as some other stuff. I'm awaiting my Evil Craft order, which I thought would be appropriate for such a small army due to their truescale size (I want them to dwarf the humans that my friends and I will be fielding). So stay tuned for that! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322436-duskraiders-word-bearers/page/10/#findComment-4708424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 Blare the trumpets, bang the drums, and let the Daemons sing... it's over! I promise this time, it's really over. My Loyalty & Treachery vows are officially done. The Seekers are sitting on their bases proper and as you can see the gang's all here in the final pic... ... over!! http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170410_220536_zpswxneiark.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170410_220542_zpszyxlr2hc.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170410_220551_zpszdch8prm.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170410_220601_zpsjdyocpo1.jpg http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/DuskRaiderXIV/Mobile%20Uploads/20170410_221302_zpsfgn5ewmv.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322436-duskraiders-word-bearers/page/10/#findComment-4708620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
