"Terminus Est" ("This is the End"), the new addition to my Word Bearers army. As in the subject, I used rare earth magnets in the arms and under the carapace. 4 months of work.

Well painted.

Though I wonder how Father Nurgle will feel that the name of Typhus his flagship (Terminus Est) is used in a Word Bearers army.

Gotta agree with horizon, it's your mini, but that's a really famous name.

But of course, how best exemplify that Undivided Chaos rules than appropriating back a nice name?
And then, the name was from:
"This is the End,
My Only Friend
The End"...

BTW the guilty is the Dark Mechanicum pilot...

For a Dark Mechanicus war machine, he looks pretty un-chaotic.

Still, the colour scheme is nice and well put together

Me likey. The base looks top notch and so does the battle damage on the armor.

Then why not call him "Morrison Est"...just saying.

Nice paint job, btw.

I should have said it earlier but beautiful paint job. I love that you have something Chaos that doesn't look like a giant metal kinky BDSM Dominatrix. Pretty refreshing.

Agree, the name is already famous in 40k lore, you'll always have people mentioning that to you, and frankly, it's true - surely you come up with something on your own without ripping off the Death Guard.

Nice paint job.

Yep, looks good. Excellent brush-work.

I've always preferred understated Chaos stuff. My ideal Chaos style is very much like...say...zombies in certain movies?

Setting the scene...imagine an Imperial Guard outpost on a desolate planet. The planet is under siege by Chaos etc., but this outpost is far from the front lines. Reports indicated a Titan Legion is operating nearby. A lone sentry is sitting in his tower when he feels a thump.

He recognizes immediately what it must be: battle. He gets up, scans the horizon with his binos and sees the silhouette of a titan in the distance. He thinks nothing of it - imagining a friendly titan must be operating in the area.

As it closes within 2-3 kilometers he starts to notice it's belching smoke a bit too much...and it's awfully rusty. As it closes he realizes he's made a terrible mistake. There are painted icons on it, and a grimacing faceplate...etc.

Very much the zombie movie approach...when the main character doesn't realize someone is a zombie until it's too close/too late etc. I've never like the over the top, 12-year old "SKULLS AND BLOOD!" style ham fisted approach.

It's so over the top that it's not scary or spooky...just silly. I like the quiet, understated, spooky unknown. Personal preference!

TLR: Awesome job.

I could never own a model like this without magnetizing it either!

I agree with Chaos-ization being often completely overdone, but in this case I think a little more wouldn't have hurt. Otherwise for the paintjob, solid work.

Lovely work. Love the colour scheme.
