Hi there, While getting back into 40k from a 7 year absence last year i was suprised to find out that my precious Word Bearers Legion no longer had its own unique rules in 5th edition so i went along my way playing renegades as most do but recently i decided to work around the lack of army rules.


A THEMED army *WOO dance!*

My idea for a themed army came from some threads i posted on dakka concerning characters like Fabius and the disgust i had with the models themselves. I decided to create a dark apothecary for a count as fabius but it has inspired me to repaint all my cult marines and make them "Genetic Experiments" for my army now. I will need to strip my PM's and i wont know what to do with plastic models. If anyone has tips on taking pictures of models on a budget please let me know! i may have a digital camera somewhere around here but i may need to use my phone camera... FAIL!

looking for legit bitz dealers i found a store blackdagger games on Ebay on Window-box from which i bought many bitz, some chosen, the dark apothecary and a new dark apostle (which will be a count as MOT Chaos Lord/Sorcerer or possibly Kharn) are going to consist of the Churgieon backpack/Cypher backpacks, Blood Angels Death Company/ CSM Tactical/Berzerker and SM company command bits o create these.


This Blog will also show the occasional Pain job/conversion and please PLEASE feedback will be appritiated.



by the way this will be the scheme for the general outline of my army, with the exception of cult Expirements and terminators.

What colours with the cult experiments and terminators have?

Terminators are actually already painted; it was before i had a definite scheme for the army. They have gold helmets and some have red feet. The WB PM's are going to have filed off nurgle icons but still look decrepit. They will be as though the expirements essentially created Undead CSM through a mix of techno-magical constructs.

not to sure about the pms
has great potential
just baybee redoo the fluff

I cant wait to see some models in build mode!

What do you mean the PM's? they will be the exact same models, filed off icons, decrepit SM expirements. I mean hey you give a man a liberal dose of PCP and a knife, and you get someone with a handgun 30 ft away and tell them to have at it; im sure the Intoxicated individual will FNP and get to stab the gunner before he dies from massive blood loss

So epic fail tonight. Finally found a digital camera at home and when i took the pics.... it came out so horribly and thats when i remembered it was a cheapo camera. Im getting a desklamp for my desk tomorrow and i'll post pics either in the daylight on my phone or use this for better lighting.

I plan on showing you all:

My mix-match painted termies
1 painted CSM icon bearer
1 WIP(unpainted) Dark apostle/ lord NOT the dark apothecary... his bitz havent all come in yet.... :/
1 painted old school oblit and 1 unpainted stroggified corrupt ad-mech servitor oblit... i love kitbashing oblits


this will all hopefully be up tomorrow!

The bit is on the way!! I mailed it yesterday!

well thanks tonynids!


and you know in sunlight the quality got better so i said F it... bad pics or not ill post it for now.

some came out better, but its a terrible camera too.


so: the icon bearer, oblit, servitor oblit, some of the termis that didnt come out totally horrible and a really bad photo of the apostle

the pictures are pretty terribad, but from what i can see they look good...

and for future models, using some of the DA robed bodies with no loyalist symbols look awesome for word bearers

Meh, I don't like the idea of powerarmored dresses.... just not my style. When I get better at greenstuff ill make tattered unpurity seals but until then...


And didn't I saythe pics were bad

nice apostle, btw do you want to see a pick of my Lord? Iv'e done a mace/star weapon on him like the dawn of war CS lord got, I think it could give you some inspiration to a more impressive weapon He loos pretty good right now but imho I think he needs a bigger weapon

I like Cyphers backpack on that one marine!

You know... I was going to have my apostle have a giant clunky weapon like eliphas from DOW but I realizes that these apostles are chaplains that became corrupter so I simply cut a banner arm from a CSM tac squad, then added a knife blade on bottom, then chaos knight banner top for the corzarius. I wanna use greenstuff but idk what to do!

P.s show me the apostle!

As you wish

Apologies that I haven't painted him yet

Nice; yeah i like the corrupt corzarius thing, but thats still a rad idea!

You have a cool army, I really like the list you played against me the other day. The standard bearer looks awesome, to bad you forgot it at home that night.
Keep posting those pics.

hi all! Thanks to me GENEROUS girlfriend i now have.... what is this? a camera that is not a piece of trash?! woot! im borrowing her camera for a couple days, time to post progress!
If you Follow Coutts's Death guard blog we just met on friday for a game at the soon-to-be battle bunker in Alamo CA; he whomped me pretty hard but that was due to ineffective list build and poor dice rolls on my part! you can see my half painted rhinos in it (which look more like fully painted black legion!)


anyways, i digress

For modeling; i also decided after my fabius count as that i will recreat ALL of the special characters in C:CSM in word bearers form; all of which will be types of dark apostles in one way or another.

Nobody has any input>>?

Also new thought: with all these enhancement kind of things as a theme could i use this army as a count as blood angels? some of my apostles could be priests, my fab count as mephiston?

... wow alot of feedback!

anyways after finding out the GBP fell a bit i may go on forgeworld and buy the WB dred w/ 2 CCW

I'm liking the apostle model....the head looks awesome on him, also the Fabius Bile conversion is rather hot.

The only thing I would say is that the models are a little... shiny. It might just be me but personally I don't like shiny models too much, other than that, great job ^^

The forgeworld Word Bearer Dread is awesome, get it.

I usually don't take any of GW's advice but here is a link to helping you paint your WBs, if you need the help.
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=cat210004&categoryId=600003§ion=&aId=1200011&_requestid=1710906

Haha thanks but i think i got a general idea down on how i want to paint mine.

And unclean one, maybe it was just the direction of the sun that made it shiny? my fab is a kitbash of WHFB warriors, FB backpack, Black templar axe, death company and SM command squad. The Apostle is company commander head and pads with cypher backpack, WHFB icon, aspiring champion body and Death company legs.

UPDATE!

So these are NOT final products, they are about half way painted. I am a busy man and i think that if i can paint about 5 models a week i will have a fully painted army in about.....4 months? lets hope!

I really wouldn't put too much stock in his opinion considering he just got busted pretty hard for his shenanigans (sp?)

IMO, the figs look good. A little matte varnish spray will keep the paints from chipping and will take the shiny-ness away too.

Keep up the work!

ooo varnish spray.... never thought of using it! And that link posted is actualy inaccurate; the trim of Worc Bearers is supposed to be like a metalic trim not brown...odd.

I understand he got busted tonynids; he is a pretty cool guy tho (know him IRL).

i like the your dark apostle model

What is a good/safe gloss for minis?

I used the Citadel Matte varnish on most of mine. There are other anti shine ones out there. I think Army Painter has one too.

got it! the GW varnish that is


painting the eyes is a bitch...


I decided to just use a mincron .005 color set but on the black they do not show, maybe i will put a dab of codex grey on the eyes and then put some of that green or blue ink over it

HAHA! Well that just shows my memory is in tip top condition! Where is the new guy you were going to make with it?

i need to find an appropriate arm to stick that on, i cut off the arm and hand of that

Hey Iron, where did you go? I keep looking back for updates!

Hi! Sorry everyone, especially tonynids.


Im going thru all old nids most og which are broken, fixing them up and hopefully selling them along with a large GW case! I bought an amazing battlefoam 720 case and it can fit over 5000 CSM points worth in it!

OHOH! How much?

really really like the modelling, but i dont know how i feel about the colors themselves, they seem dull, i like the last models you posted pics off the best despite that they weren't done. the silver termies weren't doing it for me.

tony_nids_10 wrote:OHOH! How much?

well its for $100 normally, cut some foam a bit but aside form that its in great condition, i'll probably sell it for $85

p.s I am not building two greater deamons for a possible deamon army in the future/for use in my CSM army.


the first one is the pewter mordor troll top with horns and (hopefully) madnetized jet pack and icon weapons/axe/staff to switch between the unclean one and bloodthirster. he also has sentinel legs; bit of a chaotic experiment!


The next one will be tricky also because it is almost 70% the keeper of secrets model, magnetize the head but what should i use to as a changer of ways head? that will look right on that body? the ugly pointing finger is replaced by a deamonic gun and he will have wings and possily a tail and/or belt. i need more ideas!


and will magnetizing pewter models work? should i also pin/magnetize?

so update! i will post pics tonight since my GF should give me back that good camera tonight. I got my venerable dred in but not the FW arms! i got my sentinel legs but i dont know how they willl work with the MON/MOK GD torso :( i'll post pics of them in case you all have some good ideas!! I also am making the MOT head out of a defiler mask and green stuff. That torso is also half way made to have roman style plate mail as armor!

I cant wait to see!

well i gotta do it quick, you dont visit this blog often anymore

Is that sarcasm?? And to think I had something else to send you...

no it wasnt sarcasm; and what?

I know I know I am horrible at updating! long story short i'm a college student and its almost finals week!


Anyways! i stopeed painting a while to make some new stuff! and since my last update i got the battlefoam 720 bag; it rocks...basically!

.
I also stripped more than half my troops and all my old terminators/deamons/chaos lords of paint. I let them soak in simple green for 4 days. It stripped the paint off the metal but only took about half of the paint off the plastic and that is why i bought some super clean! lets hope this works better!

I will soon be selling alot of nids! many of which are OOP and i'll make a different post in the swap shop thursday or friday for that. anyways any advice, recomendations, ect would be amazing!


Also! i would like to thank Dazz0187 from BAC for an awesome tutorial on converting dred legs here:http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.php?showtopic=161351. The Dred also has both Venerable face/sarcoughogus cases magnetized but i need to make them a little more un-imperial. I am also waiting on my forgeworld dred CCW.
meltagun conversions i figured out on my own.

As far as the three heads for the dread go, I really like the one on the far right! By far my fav!

haha thanks!


p.s ill post tomorrow but ive made all 4 meltaguns! full melta chosen squad soon!

Awesome!

Looks great!

Any Constructive Critisism? ideas lunchboxx?

i'd say for the dreadnought use the horned head, i'll make it look more chaosy. other then that awesome blog

Take the horned one, not much more to add -.-'
Great blog

So what does everyone think of a non-horned word bearers army? like absolutle no horns on the heads of anything save termi's tusks>?

It would be a change of pace. I'm not sure how chaosy it would look though.

I like the wok you did on the combi-flamers. The second Daemon's lower right arm with the defiler cannon looks either to big or just out of place in general. The Troll Greater Daemon needs something done to his face so he doesn't look like he came from Middle Earth.

Coutts the arm is a little large because my inspiration had a giant arm/gun thing... that strogg medic look! lol.

and any suggestions for the MON/MOK GD face anyone?

What about a converted carnifex head? They look awfully sinister and with a little GS (since I know you love the stuff) It could look demon like...maybe.

im lacking one plus it would have to fit in with the armor like the head?....maybe?

p.s for painting what does everyone think of dipping/army builder brushing? i was thinking of doing all my deamons quick aside from the GD and heralds, if it works well i may just use it on my CSM also!

If it helps you get the army done by all means go for it! Just do a test pc. Want me to send you over a Carnifex head? I can even try to make armor (metal) on it?

I'm ok thanks tho! i got an old school tyrant head...maybe that could work? i dont know! bleah!

I may throw one together just for S&G to play with the green stuff for a bit.

ok lemmie see how it turns out!

for the troll model its face/neck is kind of one piece and its a tad awkward so i will have to either change it or swap tough that will be hard and may require an enitre new model

I'll send you a pic tomorrow when I get home.

Great! That would be much appritiated.

All I need to do is track down some guitar strings or maybe some regular wire and I can finish up that head to show you.

Just out of curiosity, what type of head am i making? Nurgle, Khorne? Just for detail sake.

either/or The troll head is pretty nurglish but at the same time the armor it is wearing is relevant to the rest of the body

Well the carni head I'm working on can go either way. All I need to do at this point is add sores and boils if it is nurgle or nothing if its khorne.

boil free then?

Either way is good with me! Since I learned that warm water + GS = easy Life is getting better. I might even be able to pull off some boils!

boo i got some ahha. i tried drilling thru the CSM head w/o horns and putting them thru but it just looked silly :( i need a good head for that dred!

Really? I put up new stuff and thats all I got?

Seriously, no response?

You are abusing your privileges of being my online friend!

joking!

as this is my last week of class before finals and them summer i am getting a mohawk haircut tonight and possibly some modeling done. Update!: my meltaguns are completed! i will wait till i soak those minis' from the SG into some of that Super clean since only about half the paint came off. I am almost done with the dred just waiting for the FW arms to come in as well. I want to get that MOT/MOS SGD done by Friday but the MOT head bits im creating need to come in. My idea is having the chaos spawn eyeball head along with the smaller heads tentecaled around it.

That sounds so nasty in the absolute best way!

yep! i just need to figure out the second GD

after they are complete i will have for C:CD army 20 plaguebearers, ten bloodletters, two DP's and 2 GD's

WOW! I do not want to face that!

wanna trade that for a second edition Hive tyrant head?

Keep it man, I did this for fun anyways. I'm really glad you like it. Each spike/blade has a tiny rivit "dot" on it too, so even those dont look too organic. Just wait till I get the guitar strings into it.

I will once its finished. check tour PM's tho

I really wish everyone wasnt asleep. I want to work on stuff!

In Hindsight; i think once i see tony-nids final version of this bloodthirsterfex i may make that into its own SGD bloodthirster count as and not part of this magnetic MON/MOK one. My Dred legs for that GD come today as with the eyes.

working on the plate mail on the Sentinel/MOS/MOT GD right now, only problem is that the MOT i was gonna convert, those chaos spawn eyes, are much too small for a head, and ideas to incorperate them?

My dred is pretty much done aside from the head and the arms which are in the mail. And these ironclad legs will go to the MON/MOK GD but everyone seems to hate the troll face :(

I like the troll face personally. Maybe do some work to make it look slightly diff maybe?

whay would you suggest? I'm decent with plasticard and wire but im absolutley novice at GS

your mystery mini is most likely from the old warzone mutant chronicles wargame. Can't remember which faction he'd belong too, though.

your right it is from warzone, but what to do with them....

Rasputin? LOL

i think your mixing up the conversions. the troll is going to be my MON/MOK GD while the sentinel legs one will be the MOS (Keeper of secrets head) and MOT (eyeball heads)

looking good so far! have you tried any of the GW washes with your painting?

About those Warzone minis... you coould use them as termies or chosen, if you want.
Everything looks cool though!

You can send them to me, those warzone minis are awesome! As for the troll head.. KEEP IT! It looks cool and who cares if it is a gian half troll demon, we are playing a game set in the DISTANT future with demons that are cybernetic and 7 foot tall guys running around in power armor.

Yeah i hear ya, they are pretty 2D... i might sell them but i'm afraid they wont be worth anything at all.... maybe good objective markers? the outer dimensional lo-tech dude? maybe if i was to incorperate them at all i could use them as hm.... flamers? lol

hmmm on Second thought i already made 5 meltaguns for chosen soo i wont really need them as that... in trying to figure out other guns i can convert them as.

Convert them to $$$ on ebay!

maybe i should, i am runing low on GS afterall XD

HAHA!! Trygon underway btw.

maybe i should, i am runing low on GS afterall XD

I could use some GS myself!

AURHGHH!!

update! in the midts or work and school i finally stripped the paint off my CSM, and most of my Nids... those old plastic TEAL genestealerts just wont let off with the white primer :(.... and oddly many CSM backpacks didint strip any primer after vigorous scrumming... but everything else was great!


i will brish/dip my deamons and generic CSM, i will experement on them but thus far i bought krylon spray matte varnish and minwax chesnut.

I am glad to hear about the progress! You'll have to check out the pics I post later, I actually acomplished a bit tonight!

Oooo of? and i'm going to repaint my PM''s and take off any urgle icons for my theme tonight i think.

Sounds like I wont be the only one working late into the night haha

No no no no that wont be tonight.... i got pleanty of schoolwork to do tonight...

That is so much suck that it hurts me all the way on the east coast!

i'll update models periodically tho, im currently working on the plate mail on the MOS/MOT GD i bought storm boy rokkitpaks but idk if i will throw qwings or those at all on these technoorganic monsters; i mean it looks good then you see thier legs and go... wait no way he's gettin off the ground!

You should snag a set of Balrog wings from GW. They are big and awesome!

and unfitting for my GD?

Ive seen it done on GDs made from sentinels before. If done right it looks awesome!

want to link me then?

Ironfrontalex: Get up some more painted pics. Thanks.

Hey everyone!

I understand where Rose is coming from and your all right in some regard. i will try and post more pics.


the plate armor on my SGD is working but not as roman as i wanted it to be, the bodies aren't as anthropomorphic as i thought....


also My mini's.... at least the CSM i stripped are all dried and since so many bits fell off i'm going to kit bash them so i can get more of my melta, fists ect. on my models without getting new models.


also... aside from finals and this internship (which left me totally sunburned today -_-) i had a LOT of family drama go on tonight and i'm kinda sorta not at my house right now.... and to think my FW arms came in today.... p.s... one more question: i did see the spures and they were dirty, how do you clean this resin?

Get some stuff painted!

NOT YET! assembly first. painting second.


know to clean FW resin anyone?

Sorry man, never had to.

IronfrontAlex wrote:NOT YET! assembly first. painting second.

Scrub it in a soap and water mix with an old toothbrush.

good call!

p.s everyone i am at school but when i get home i'll post some pics of my reconstruscted CSM since alot of the glue came off the models whose paint was stripped and i had more currect bits around to mix and match (as well as the large-gauntlet possessed arms which can be nice count as powerfists.

so yes yes i know I fail....


I am oficially on summer tomorrow at 7 PM! i plan on going really gung-ho with my hobbying then!l
I wasnt able to do much though since i fell off the face of the earth.

Here is what i have done:

-made the additional 4 melta CSM
-made an additional raptor/CSM icon bearer
-Converted old lord and sorc
-have had a modeling block on what to do with my SGD's
-made about 4 CSM who have the large rengins claw like guantlets form the posessed spure, looks an awfull lot like a powerfist and in your opinion do you agree? if so do you guys think I could count it as a powerfist in one game and not in another? its kind of in between and besides.... I made 4 of them and i already had 2 actual powerfist guys.... too many of them!!!!
-snipped and snapped 2 unpainted old berzerks from my collection into CSM
-made the plague marine/genetic monstrocities more unique than the redular PM squad
-found more head possibilities for the dred head...
-found a lot of bits IDK what to do with.....
-about to convert a 3rd dark apostle....
-making 3-4 objective markers and eventually the rest of my slave zombies


i will post a lot of pics within the next two days showing what i am trying to accomplish

When are you going to start the demon centaur conversions? If you feel like it send some stuff my way and I'll do it HAHA!

In order to make the techno-organic bikes i need to:
1. figure out a design.
2. conversion supplies.


so far no design.

hmm.. I don't think you should make them all the same though.

I AM!!

But it's JUST you it seems. i'll start posting more.


and hey everyone remember that fisher price castle i posted a while ago? IM SELLING IT! look for it and others on the swap shop soon!

I wont sell my Nids untill the Bizzare Bazzar next moth at my GW

Even though I am only chopped liver I'll still be watching!

Lol, you guys aren't getting posts because it feels like we are interrupting a date lol. I have some guys who post on my thread very regularly (whom I am very grateful for), but there are always a few others mixed in too, it's not such a back and forth.

That being said, there is nothing really wrong with it, no one has to look if they don't want to, just trying to address why people would feel like they are interrupting a private conversation you know?

To the models, nice enough, but there isnt much to comment on other than to say you have a lot of unpainted stuff collected. Start painting if you want more comments, there are only so many naked minis one can look at before they have nothing more to say!

Good luck with your project!

Looks nice, maybe I can crush them with my imperial fists?

You won't have a bloodcrusher unit in reserves until turn 4.

You have some really cool conversions in here. Now you just need some paint
Keep up the good work

Looking forward to some pics!

COUTTS PAGE 67! check it out!

p.s im an ass for not posting the pics yet, tomorrow i sweat! its my and my lady's anneverrsary weekend!

Update

The GDs look good.

tony_nids_10 wrote:The GDs look good.

hey are one in the same bud, magnets!

When i become a e less lazy i will post pics of my WIP paintjobs on most my tanks. The rhino's and drednaughts are primed and have the main red scheme.

ALSO i have been playing 2k and 25k lists with 3x5 lesser deamons and a greater deamon... its awesome! and nobody expects it! also i have found that havok launchers are awesome against swarm.

Are you less lazy yet? Cause I'm still waiting on those wip pics.

Update!
I dont eften havee a day off and i havent been painting as much as i should have been but when i do i pain all in one; like all basecoat ect. it is currently:
basecoate everyone red
layer of red gore

THEN after that i'll paint the trim and then add a layr of scab red on on the armor, then detail and touch up and wash with babab black

Anyhing painted yet?

Woo! My models actually get screen time on the internet. Hahaha.

Are you the owner of the smurfs? If so I love the landraider with all of the nid bits on it. Even though I love my little xenos critters, I like the trophies even better!

Yeah those are his smurfs... damn them!


so tony i got more pinted well more progress but nothing fully painted, starting the trim this weekend then hopefully detail on all my troops, i have given up on dipping all but my deamons, i find it too risky for a n00b like me.

ALSO: in the game portion of my army i am less and less relying on oblits and moreso focusing on defilers and in the future maybe a vindi or two, but what about havoks? i have a few heavy weapons but idk maybe 2x2 autocannosn and 2x2 ML in a squad of 10? just an idea and obviously not for every match.


ALSO! i realized what i can do with my bikers now... well the bikes and then the CSM models for: i saw the spure for the new bloodcriushers first hand and i think for my C:CD army if i buy the set and put 4 BL on bikes and 3 CSM on the juggernaughts then by the MFB Lord on juggy it would be a full squad of techno-organic goodness! toughts?

Loving it, How many words would a word bearer bear if a word bearer could bear words?

I think that chaos bike are nasty and bloodcrushers are crazy!. I'm actually giving some thoughts to starting a chaos deamon army for 40k after I finish my nids.

yeah i will hopefully have 8 of them and if im lucky eventually a sweet deathstar with 10 crushers; 1 MOK herald on juggy, 1 Skulltaker on juggy, 8 crushers all options! win!

Wow, that just sounds so very mean!

hey everyone guess what?

I HATE PAINTING CHAINMAIL TRIM!!

my fingers are like too big for it maybe? i think im good with my hands so to speak but idk it just gets really irritating. Worst case scenario i will do everything but it then comission the trim which would be selling out sort of.... but any advice? maybe i needa new brush but i find it so god damn tedious! damn trim!

When are we going to see some of this much hated chainmail trim? I WANT PICS!

IT TAKES FOREVER TONYNIDS!

therefore.... untill i can figure out how to do this better; and possibly get a better brush... i will postpone trim until then.... mainly also because i rediscovered my 360 and started playing oblivion again...for shame i know :( but i'll try again haha. i need more dextarity.

I'm with you there! I hate some of that fine detail work. I love painting but my hands start shaking after awhile.

I just read this entire thread from start to finish. It caught my eye because I am working on a 1,500 WB for a 40K campaign we are starting this fall. I've been struggling with staying focused because I have way too many distractions w/ other projects. I think this thread is going to be a renewed inspiration.

The conversion you did w/ the guitar string was awesome. I have got to try that on my next addition to my Nurgle army. I like taking the plastics and trying to make them look as warped as the old Rogue Trader CSM I have, they had a lot of cables and I have an idea (take my Dremel and rout out channels on the arms and legs, then fill with slightly raised guitar string). If I ever get to that I'll post pics.

Back on topic... I've been having a hard time trying to decide what I want to do for my Chaplins. I've been looking at the old Dark Angels. I think the cowled robes are very cool, but concerned that it'll just look like a Dark Angel in Word Bearers colors. I thought about doing cowls myself but after a few attempts I was reminded that my skill w/ green stuff is better suited for Nurgle. I have some old ISM in Mk5 & 6 armor, have been thinking about the possibilities there.

I've been working mostly w/ plastics and have opted for a very clean look, no mutations and uniform helmets (w/ different sets for AC). I've been designing back banners to be scattered throughout the squads (randomly and for no special reason other than following the spirit of the zealous approach towards faith and worship by the WB).

If you'd like I'll post a few pics of my WIP here.

Yes post pics!


I thought of going unmutated, but the diea of having some CSM that are able to pose as possessed and save some cash was too sweet for me. Also i was going to make uniformed squads and no horned helmets but i just didnt do it

Take your own advice Ironfront! POST SOME PICS!

TONY I'll post pics when i make progress! im a busy guy!

Do you hear that Ironfront? I think its the WAAmbulance off to pick up another guy burried alive by his own excuses... I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

that creature with walker legs and slannish symbols is awesome!

It's my Greater deamon and its magnetized!

I also am a huge fan of your GD. I wish you lived nearby Ironfront. I want to play against a chaos army.

Which GD?

UPDATE: Pickless though :( had to give my gf her camera back.

I bought 5 chaos marines and a squad of devistators, i will make all of them save the plasma cannons which will go to making 2 additional oblits, the HBs will also have extended plasticard tubing and become autocannons.

ALSO! i'll post pics when i can but i am currently camera less. But today at a bbizzare bazzar i got a looted vindicator for free! simple fix for it to be new, made some good $$ and sold my old zoanthrope too! i got $48 bucks in GW giftcards, what should i get?

I have:
2 chaos lords
2 Sorcerers
Kharn
2 DP's
2 GD's
2 Dreds
12 termis
8 posessed
12 plague marines/genetic monstrocities
30 CSM
3 defilers
32 lesser deamons
3 rhinos
1 pred/vindi
vindi
1 LR
6 oblits


hmmm?

Are you going to grab any nurgle bikers or bloodcrushers?

no bikers, im actually converting my bikes a little... off and having bloodletters ride them... 4 techno/organic blood crushers then i want to buy the ner crushers but have CSM riding them... 3 more, then i wanna get the WHFB lord on crusher, 8 crushers 1 of which is a herald!


but no; bikes are too expensive

Where did you go Ironfront? Come back and post updates!

some of you might think i am dead but I AM NOT! lol...

I wont be getting pics taken till friday sorry guys! but i want to repose SM legs and i cant gfind any good tutorials! can someone link me please? ive seen a few and looking for more, no more spread eagle marines!

Also i have the new plastic DP already! i converted it to havee a defiler helm and a sword in one hand and an axe in the other; but i hate the legs too! any tutorials on that or is it too early?

Hello again. Took longer than I expected to post here again. I've been collecting the models I'm using for my WB army. I'm building it for a campaign that is starting this fall.

My army has a very specific theme to reflect the nature of the campaign. The cabal of Word Bearers have landed on a remote plant (system and planet unknown as of yet, still waiting for more details from the GM) to perform a ritual that (if successful) will open another gate to the Warp. A representative host unit of each known chapter aspect is present.

To this end I have a (mostly) clear vision for what I want to do and what I need to accomplish to build this army. I will have 4 units (hosts) of CSM, each representing a different aspect of the Word Bearers chapter. There will be 12 models per unit w/ an Aspiring Champion (Coryphaus) leading them.

I will also have a unit of Chosen are to represent the Dark Apostles from each aspect. One will be upgraded to an Aspiring Champion (representing the 5th model) and while each Dark Apostle is from a different aspect, for the purposes of the game they have banded into a single unit to perform the ritual. Side note- while not "list legal", all of my Dark Apostles (Chosen) will carry a Power Weapon (to represent their Accursed Crozius). This is in lieu of taking a heavy weapon (similar point cost and works better w/ the scenario).

My Chaos Lord represents a Black Cardinal. He will have Terminator armor.

I haven't decided on an individual squad of Terminators yet.

I will be fielding a unit (or two) of summoned Lesser Daemons as they figure so prominently in the Word Bearers. I am creating "undivided" daemons. I am thinking about the plastic Beastmen bodies (with heavily converted features) but I've also considered converting Genestealers. Haven't planned that far ahead yet.

I am not using any vehicles in this campaign.

The miniatures I am using for my Dark Apostle unit are all Dark Angel Veterans, but they won't carry that resemblance for long. I have a friend that is very skilled at fabrication w/ Green Stuff, they will all have cowls and all Imperial iconography is being removed or modeled over. I just picked them up on eBay a couple days ago. I'll post pics the next time I am here. I'm taking care to ensure I have pics of before / during / after as this is the first time I have collected an army for a specific purpose and army list instead of just collecting a huge assortment of miniatures and the creating a list from what I have available.

no mech? hmmmmmm and dark apostles with only 1 wound?!

those are my only qualms! but nice!!!


I need a cameria.... and motivation!! im making chosen and magnetizing backpacks for rapotrs based off of the death company models and soon to be FW crusade armor and maximini jump packs!

Hmm. Good point.

In retrospect, I'm rethinking my list. Reassign the Black Cardinal in Terminator as a sole Dark Apostle. I'm using the body of an early Chaos Lord in Terminator armor w/ the arms from a later 2nd Ed. Terminator. What was once a Power Maul (w/ minor conversion) will become his Accursed Crozius. The soon-to-be-converted Dark Angel Veterans will become an "honor guard" of Chosen lead by a Coryphaus (Aspiring Champion). The rest of the list will remain the same. This will allow me to build a 100% "list legal" army and I'll be adding a Heavy Bolter to my "honor guard". I'll research and find a more appropriate name for them.

I've decided to go w/ the Beastmen plastic bodies as the base for my Lesser Daemons. Unsure of the arms and heads yet, will be looking through my bitz box for inspiration. Whatever direction I go in I'm going to make an intentional effort to create something neutral, no possible association w/ any of the "big 4" Chaos gods.

I know my force is going to be unbalanced in that it has no heavy support, armor, or fast attack. Once I have completed my army for campaign purposes I'll most likely expand it out and include some heavier stuff.

Still no mech. : )

(I posted from work so no pics right now but will try to get back online tonight and post. It's a very raw WIP but it'll give an idea of where this is going)

UPDATE! with actual pics later on tonight... AWAH?!?! ahha...

sorry everyone i havent updated in a while because there was no reason TO update, i had not painted or done anything. well im proud to tell you all that a majority of my army just needs detail and helmets done and they are complete! tanks need some work tho. I made 2 doomsday machines with a "dick dasterdly" 50's villian kind of theme; one large energy weapon and 1 weather control machine. also! fun game 2 days ago i managed my first phase out of a cron force! :p and today Myself and @megamarines are entering a doubles tournement! Word Bearers and Ultramarines side by side :p

I'm really excited to see these guys!

Guh, that tournament was ridiculous. We should have won Best General, but were cheated by 5 points out of 95. Pretty dirty, but we did get some awesome moments out of it all.

Excuse the quality, pictures done with a phone.

Example being my Land Raider Crusader driving over the wreckage of a Word Bearer Rhino.


Also, here are pics of IronfrontAlex playing those Necrons the other day.




And here is me wrecking some Dark Angels the day before that.

AHHH you beat me to the punch Matt!


yeah we were totally cheated! i was also cheated for winning most heroic act! it was between my 1 wound DP killing a wolf lord, then getting shot at hella by a rune priest, then getting assaulted by it and killing it, then flying over and killing a ven dred. apparently 1 sniper rolling twice on 6's and blew up a Basilisk... MEH

I'm still waiting for some good quality pics my friend!

should have pics up tonight after 10 PM pasific time, i painted 3 CSM/PM's! I decided i was going to organize my squads! from the initial consept on my take on WB one Squad of 10 and 1 of each special/heavy weapon will have a certain difference to set them apart
There are the squads:

-Black shoulder pads these will also be my PM's
-Lower legs red everything else black, these will be chosen and also have gold shoulder trim


I have 2-3 more squads left after that how should i color them? based off the pic i posted in the first post ideas for differentiating paint jobs to organize squads?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Ok so i kind of fibbed... i wasn't able to get the camera but i was able to fully paint 7 models! these are the CSM with black soulder pads who will also represent my Word Bearer's warbands genetic expirements. I like word bearers, i love the fluff but I ant my own twist and this one is that my Word Bearers are part of the larger force that resides in the maelstrom but works very close with a dark mechanicus cult and create deamon engines, genetic expirements, and all sorts of sci-fi bruhaha!

But i will only have normal CSM and roided out marines, my DP's are also roided out (T6) :p




buuut These are almost ALMOST fully painted, mainly because i do not have the resources with me to paint the eyes, i somehow lost all my green but my micron pen and I need brighter colors for highlight.

So I Haven't gotten photos of the ones i said i would have, thats my bad! no camera really blows, but i have pics!


These are the sons of Lorgar, in normal games they are CSM chosen, in this Kill teams Campaign they are my notmal CSM.


Thanks @Megamarines!!

Any luck on getting ahold of a camera?

no intrest in the pain jobs?

Hey everyone guess what?.... I GOT A DIGITAL CAMERA!!!

I have a Canon SD1400 14.1 Megapixel point and shoot, and its not to bad at mini taking! so i will not consistently have pictures, bump if you'd like!!!

more to come! i actually have uite a bit painted now! and here's a peek!

Those terminators from the last post look nice, good job on those. Drilled-out gun and flamer barrels would make them look much cooler, though.

What size should i use?

Totally depends on the type of gun. 2mm drill bit works for heavy bolter barrels and bigger stuff; I'd try a 1mm bit on everything smaller than that, should look appropiate on most 40k weapons.

Hmmm anything else?

It's great to see some pics! Everything is coming along nicely. I really like the objective markers! Is that a mageknight treasure chest by chance?

hhaha YES IT IS!!!! more pics in a sec BTW!


i thought you would like the objectives :p

I play at the Alamo GW which is still kind of far for me, i haven't tried black diamond but i almost always either go to alamo or the stoneridge mall GW; thought i prefer Alamo.


ALSO! i found a friggin' sweet tutorial on making an MK2 Land raider! i have an assembled normal land raider but it's soaking in Simple green; though unpainted i have found that simple green deteriorates the old GW glue with ease so i plan on soaking it, drying it then ripping off the hull pieces and sanding them down. After that i will make the plasticard sponsons!!!

p.s if anyone has a mk1 land raider or knows anyone who has one let me know! i want one soooo bad! i would prefer a trade if anything.

schoool starts next week, nervous bleah!

p.s spread the word of this thread! it's not nearly as popular as i would like it to be :p

More Pics!!! anyone know how i can get the image of my blog in the front page to change to a better one? oh well!

UPDATE!!!!

I don't know what it is, but when I see your word bearers I feel that there's something missing, or something that's off. It's hard to put my finger on since I kinda like your shade of red and silver. What was the reason for the gold trim? Seems kinda out of place to me.
I think I'm missing something to break thing up, I've seen some green in on your models, but maybe it's not bright enough? Might be caused by bad lighting? I'm comparing your models to these when I say this http://img210.imageshack.us/i/wordbearers1.jpg/

The eyes are obscured because of lighting, the last one that power fist champ it looks as though i haven't even painted his eyes yet i have! My eyes are snot green with an orkhide basecoat, may need another layer of snot to make even brighter tho.... suggestions? P.s the Gold trim? I wasn't origionally going to do that then i looked at the HH collected visions artbook and noticed that some WB squads in the art that had the post hersey Scheme had gold trim, i only assumed that they were champions or chosen so why not! melta and plasma use different shoulders, champs use both, and my havocs will also use both.

Maybe you could paint tubes and hair green too? Also, your skin tone kinda melts into the armor, perhaps you should paint it alittle brighter? Maybe even white like skulls to tie in to them being almost the opposit to chaplains.

If you like the gold trim then stick with it, but I'm not a big fan of it, melts toghther to much with the red. Also, have you thought of putting robes on some choosen marines? Would look cool

I have some chosen in robes! but not many! p.s some of those killteam chosen will be srtriped after my campaign and reworked back into the normal CSM troops, the robed will stay as chosen as well as the special weapons.

The skin is supposed to be pale but i may lighten them a bit, im confused though when you say green tubes? like on the backpacks? i was thinking blue and green but idk which one yet, also if you noticed i have absolutley no hair in this army, i hate the topknots and make it a point to snip them off all helmets.

Yeah, tubes on the backpacks and heavy weapons, also giving power weapons a green glow would be cool.

ACTUALY if you look reeealy well you will realize that those power swords have been nerfed, i wanted marines with CCW that weren't just knives and chainswords! that my friend is a normal sword! the only models thus far with actual power weapons and not a powerfist are the 1 mace on the chosen warrior and terminators. but yes i will make some effect

It's going to be a 'I'm working with you because our forces combined in a battle and we're friends now sort of thing.

Some of my army Is BL, some is WB. The raptors, two rhinos, a land raider, the dreadnought and the termies are WB, the rest is BL.

Some of my army Is BL, some is WB. The raptors, two rhinos, a land raider, the dreadnought and the termies are WB, the rest is BL.

But I digress. Looks great!

Thanks! you should really post your chaos army on dakka!

Well uhh... Guess whose single now...

Yeah! I totally should. I'm stripping my unit of CSM now (Only have one, I bought they mosts expensive stuff first ). When they're finished, I'll make a plog, I think.

DO IT!!! i lvoe to see other WBB players, especially when people have thier own take on them.

Actually, these will be black legion guys. My plan is to have about 6 'tactical units'. Probably about 4 will be WB, the other two will be Black legion. My raptors are WB so far. It's a process I guess.

AWWWWWW FINE

pft.. see if i care

Have you seen the AUS White Dwarf article on Khorne terminators made from the following:

Plastic SW terminators

Plastic Chaos Marauders

FW Khorne Term upgrades

Expensive but they look awesome!

haha win. But hey, why would i want krorne termis?

They have the Word in the UK WD

and the US i know... Eh i always thought player WB models impressed me much more than the GW guys...


p.s im building a hell talon, doomsday device, and lightning claw termis as well as some secret super heavies!

Just asking if you had seen them, they are inspirational for converters such as yourself.

Whats in the US WD?

True Blue!! we'll see... I only have 3 of the old metal termi's left and i may need to get a couple more, not $$$ for an expensive set, just a couple more.

a simple W showcase, the red they have is nice... but still too light IMHO, i understand people want bright but i'm a big purist on grimdark.

Hey! a quick update!!!

I have almost all the tools needed for my LR to turn into an MK2 Land raider! I need some 1.5 CM plastic tube. I also won a RT era Land raider on ebay!!! it is missing one sponson set but thats ok!

OH! and i may buy a hell talon bomber off a blackshirt at my local GW; is paying $75 worth it? Oh and i am making 2 hell blades, the smaller intercepters...

here is what it looks like, and this is what im converting it out of....


Suggestions? ideas? or should i just make the hell blades out of plasticard and paper templates that i have now. If so then what should i do with these?

That star wars fighter actually looks like a pretty good model for conversions. But have to see a mock up before I can give you a final thought about it

ALMOST DONE WITH THE FIRST HELLBLADE!!


still WIP, C&C please???

The back end of it (cockpit) looks a little too bubbly IMHO.

Chaos = Bubble...not so much. I really like the rest of it though. Really cool conversion.

My pal Robbie and i are urrently fixing this problem!

So the hellblades are going slower than expected. School, 2 jobs, a really nasty breakup and such have reallly taken up my time. I found paper templates and plan on making the top half of the starfighter cockpits off them and also making an OG hellblade out of these too. One sponson on the MK2 Land raider iss complated but i lost the second! i also got my MK1 land raider from ebay yesterday! it's soaking in simple green right now and willl be painted as kahdors land raider, collected visions Page 155, its a grey/green WB land raider with a giant banner and slaves on the side chained to the hull


im also contemplating making something bigger with 3d renders and a 3d printer... hmm?

Looking forward to it Although I must encourage you to halt the use of gold on word bearers....I don't believe they ever use gold...Only various iron colors...

True and normally i would agree with you! but... look at collected visions, the HH art books, some entire squads have gold trim and are WB, i checked haha... but sor simplicity my champions have gold shoulder trim, thats it.

Great work, I really like the way the hell blade is coming on. Your dreads are cool too, have you finished them yet??

HA someone responds and thus spurs me to action!

@tipios: no no i have done little work on them, i've been focusing on painting and completing my army before i work on APOC stuff.


Update. I will post pics when i can, i have my camera at my side but not my USB cable, i fully painted 3 out of 4 rhinos, i also began painting my 3 defilers, 2 greater deamons and another prince. School, internships etc make it a hassle but 4 people at the trendy coffee shop in my town have gotten into 40k and i've been jumping on recruiting them. I also am 90% done with the modeling of ym MK2 land raider, need to finish one sponson and fill some gaps, I also attained a RT era land raider and i have completed modeling it, just on to painting.


ALSO: i have began modeling a techno-organic deamon/dark mechanicus army. I have 10 bloodletters, 22 plague bearers, 2 GD's, 3 DP's and 8 flamers, but i am also in the works to make weird mono-wheeled fiends, half bike half creature bloodcrushers (though im tepted to actually buy crushers for this... but i lack the $) they will be back side chaos bikes, but the front wheel is gone, i have replaced it by a cut version of the lanr raider sponson holster which fits perfectly into place. It will be a wheel in the back, crawling hulking monstrosity in the front



oh and TEXT WALL....

cant wait to see pics!

text walls are always great

oooh boy so where's whats up.

Land raider mk2 wip pics will be up soon, as with RT LR

here are some pics i took today.

YO! Nice rhinos!

Psst, dude. I might hi-jack your thread sometime soon. I painted up a BEAUTIFUL Land Raider in Lorgar's sacred colors that I need to show off. I wrote hundreds of lines of text all over it, while obviously keeping it chaos with spikes and daemonic heads, etc.

Pics soon! Also, my unit of word bearers terminators are coming along well, so I'll post some WIP shots

nice work, I like the keeper/lord of change.

Those Rhinos are sweet. Really like the Deamon Prince too.

Thanks and samus its ok if you wanna show off. My RT land raider will be in pre H colors but the mk2 will be in the crimson we know and love.

love those rhinos, great work!

Thanks! The least detailed one has an imperial eagle glued securley on it, I want to paint a chaos star over it but in which color? Not red or black.

It's been way too long man. You have made some serious progress and everything looks AMAZING!
