MaliGn's Litany of Hate - Lord Discordant finished

[MaliGn]

More progress on the trio, got the bone and horns done, and a few other details either done or on their way there.

I dunno, is it just me or are these parts quieter since the rearrangement? Is it just in this Word Bearers corner?

[MaliGn]

Finished the trio of raptors except I missed a little bit of blood for the blood god, I can fix that later though.

Took a photo of them with the rest of the unit so far:

And the individual shots

Just a couple left to finish off and then whatever the next project may be, probably the disciples, maybe the second obliterator, maybe something else.

They look amazing. All the writing in various spots really gives a nice ombiance and now we know who's hoarding the toilet paper.

Thanks Dread, I've always tried to make sure there's a nice balance of the script and iconogrpahy on them throughout the army it's actually harder on the more modern models as there is so much moulded on!

I have made a start on the basecoats on the jump lord that goes with them.

After this guy there's just the icon bearer to finish off.

[MaliGn]

Pushing on, I've got the reds done on the jumplord (and his arm - not pictured) and got the first layers on the backpack which I am trying to bring up to speed so that I can work it at the same time as the rest of the model, rather than a chore afterwards. Following a suggestion on Instagram I've decided to give a go at doing the primaris marine on the base as a Novamarine, I'm hoping the white doesn't end up blending too much into the tiles. (I'm doing a outer white like Wraithwing's excellent Primaris Novamarines)

[MaliGn]

Been working on the base for the Jumplord, got it most of the way there, need to add weathering and stuff to the dead Novamarine.

[MegaVolt87]

That Novamarine is solid- potentially a loyalist project in the works? ;)

Lol! Thanks! I did rather enjoy painting him, I've never done loyalist marines to any real level, and the idea of doing more did cross my mind, got lots I still want to do with my word bearers though.

Speaking of which:

[Dread]

That's pretty sweet! Can't wait to see an assembled pic.

A few steps off that yet, but a little closer now:

So as we see it's getting closer... Next up the metal trim.

[ElDuderino]

Seems like I've missed a bunch of updates, which is a shame, beautiful stuff! The daemon engine from last page for example, and the new lord... great work!

 

If I were you I'd contact a moderator and try to get this thread moved to the modeling wip section, I think you'd get a much bigger audience over there!

Thanks, I just worry a little bit about stuff getting lost and the fact I've lost a lot of images from the thread, I should reload those really as it's a shame the images are lost (again).

Here's where I'm at with the Jumplord I've done that main work on the trim, despite still needing the final highlights, but I have added the arms back on which need the trim doing, which I plan to do before doing the final highlights across the whole model.

[Dread]

I do like the head swap. I magnetized the arms on mine. His rules just suck, I mean who puts just one lightning claws on and strolls into battle and a spear that you throw but no cc rules. Anyhow plasma pistol and power axe lord just works better for me. He'said looking sweet.

Magnetising is not a game I can be bothered with, i'm not much of a gamer so swappable loadouts is low on my list of priorities compared to the original impact of the model.

I've gone through and purged the busted picture links and uploaded everything to ab&c, so I'm going to start re-posting things throughout the next few weeks and days. Starting with the models that this blog started with: cultists. I mixed up the dark vengeance models with a whole bunch of other bits including flagellants, marauders and even an ancient plastic Orlock ganger some time pre-N17. I think I eventually painted 34 of them, not all of which got photographed.

Oh, and I'm still working on the Jumplord, trying to decide on a colour for the axe blades - thinking blue to match other things within the army, but open to suggestions...

[MaliGn]

Moved right along with the Jumplord and went with blue for the axe blade, I think there's a bit more to do to finish it off, maybe another glaze layer and one or two more bright highlights here and there.

Here's and example from the past where I am happy with the blue effects on the blade - one of my sorcerers converted from the dark vengeance chosen models.

[MaliGn]

Moved ahead with the raptor lord, including assembly prior to final highlights and finishing touches.

may manage to finish this later on

[Dread]

Everything looks great. The blue, wow, perfect touch to his blade. Great stuff here.

Hm, i don't think that would be a risk really, but ask a mod to be sure. I'll subscribe so I don't miss anything:)

 

New models are looking great, very nice blue on the weapons. The bone looks great as well!

Thanks Dread, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

I'm not talking about stuff in the thread going missing, just the thread disappearing amid all the others...

Anyway I've finished him!

I know he's clearly very Khornate but I hope I've conveyed enough Word Bearer despite that, as I have been aiming for throughout my unit of raptors, of which I have only the icon bearer left to finish off.

I'm intending to take some better photos in better light at the weekend.

Great conversions and painting! I am busy deciding between World Eaters or Word Bearers for a legion for my rebuilding chaos project. I loved seeing your build thread, totally awesome. I went through your entire thread yesterday from begining to end. Great inspiration.

 

Also as far as the moving thread part... I would never have found your build thread in there. I think that place is a mess and builds and threads get lost. I no longer even go there because its such a disorganized mess, cant find threads i was looking at before, nothing is organized by faction or army, things just get lost. I stopped going there honestly because of all that. Just my 2 cents. I would not have found your thread if it was not here.

Thanks for your kind words, sorry that a lot of the images are AWOL at the moment so the slog through some of the pages may have been a bit odd as we discussed models you couldn't see!

Moving on I still have the icon bearer for the raptor squad to finish so here goes, I've only got the red done and basecoated the brass bone and flesh parts. My plan to have all of these finished by the start of the cricket season has only happened due to lockdown, ah well I'm on track to paint more than last year anyhow.

[MaliGn]

So going back to posting old stuff for a sec, one of the models from the original etl vow that kicked this blog off that I actually finished was the helbrute so here it is in all its glory. It was quite fun to paint if I remember rightly, and it helped me with a few techniques that have now become regular features across the army.

[MaliGn]

Continuing with the last raptor - the icon bearer, enjoying where this is going and pretty pleased with the model itself.

Loads to do but here we are:

Comments make threads so any observations welcome ..

[Tallarn Commander]

Looking good!

 

I particularly like where you are going with the flames at the bottom of the icon and the darker shading at the top. It sets up a nice dramatic contrast. It's sort of the inverse of what you did with the flames and shaded cloak on your Dark Apostle awhile back.
