Icosiel Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Hey folks! I am brand new to Horus Heresy. I've always been intrigued by the Word Bearers ever since I read The First Heretic, but I've never liked the Chaos range in 40k. There's too much trim and teeth and tentacles. Horus Heresy allows me to dip my feet into the heretic pool without having to deal without all that nonsense! (until I want to -- planning some Gal Vorbak down the line). In any case, here's what I've got so far! Planning on updating here as I complete models. First up is my Praetor! Captain Esarhaddon of the Serrated Suns. He is Corrupted, and wields a Tainted Blade. Here is my first tactical squad! Outfitted with bayonets.

Icosiel Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 My first Contemptor! What an excellent kit. Gave him two CCWs and grav guns.

GodEmperorOfMankind Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Wow they look amazing! What colour is the red? Word bearers? It looks a bit darker, how did you do them?

Brother Dallo Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 How do you do, fellow Bearer of the Word? Lovely stuff. It’s a small touch, but I like the trophy rack/ornamentation you’ve added to your Contemptor.

Torbenos Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I quite like the grungy colour scheme you've chosen, and I am in particular a fan of the hellfire upon the officer's sword. Keep at it, I look forward to seeing more. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/374999-icosiels-word-bearers/#findComment-5853465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corswain Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Yeah, looking great. I particularly like the use of the Castellan. How does it measure scale-wise against the rest of the Heresy range?
