Hi guys !

I'm new on this forum I would like to present you the building of my Word Bearers army step by step.

The Army Contains and P.I.P :

* 1 Daemon Prince : W.I.P 80%
* 1 Dark Apostle : 25%
* 5 Terminators : 0%

Yeap, I know, There aren't Daemons I prefer concentrating on Word Bearers them-self, but, the daemons will be a separate army.

So, I begin with my first squad of 10 chosen :















My possessed :

















My 1st Dreadnought :













My 1st Raptors squads :







My first Champion + first CSM flamer :











My first Rhino :











I hope you like them,
C&C are welcomes.

The color fades are looking really good, as is the green spot color. I think the weathering on the Rhino is the real stand out though.

For a constructive suggestion I'd go with "I think you need to add a bit of black into the scheme. On the robed Marines I'd use it on their rope belts, and on the other guys I'd use it on the flexible parts at the armor joints." This is because you're using a lot of mid-tones (red, brown, dirty metal) which causes some of your shots to look a bit flat. The black (dark tone) would help break these up.

I can't wait to see more!

Cheers

i think it looks fantastic. a great color scheme. you know what they say, less is more.
outstanding work. keep it up.

fantastic colour scheme and well pulled off. I like the fact they seem more calm than normal chaos, more dark and scheming.

I love the horns!

maybe you can take some time and take some pic step by step of how you do it D:

what mark of chaos are gouing to give them?

Very awesome.

Nice to see someone still dedicated to The Word Bearers, as of the 4th Edition Codex.

I actually like how your lack of blending makes them look a bit...cel shaded, if you will.

The only problem I saw with them is from afar, I couldn't even tell that they were red. Maybe that's just me.

Nice looking stuff. The green accents, and the muted robes, work well together. Very atmospheric. I can practically hear the chanting.

Wow, I really like the robes. It really goes well with Word Bearer fluff.

very nice work. i especially like the use of the green here. Looks killer.

Excellent work! The robes are very good.

I like the red shading.

Fantastic job on these. I've been going through the all of the Chaos Codices, in the last week and it is neat seeing the evolution of the legions. 2nd ed was really just red CSM for the Word Bearers.

I think you completely nailed the look for this legion. More so than GW has.

Excellent work!

I can't say much that hasnt already been said, so great work, and you have, in fact beaten GW at their own models.

Oh, that and you seem to have 6 Heavy supports.

Thanks a lot for your compliments this pleases me

Now, my 2nd Chosen squad :











And my first Land Raider :













C&C welcome,
Ladvic.

Coming soon : 1st CSM squad

Very cool stuff.

Love the paint jobs.

The fluro green accents work very well with the red, and the weathering is excellent.

My only problem is, whilst I love your paintjob, I hate the chaos dread figure.

;-)

The champion/lord with wings is my favourite of your bunch.

God I really hope this isn't your first army because those are painted beautifully.

Yeah dude, right on. Great painting, and I love the "camo" shading you used. Very effective. *thumbsup

Small detail thing...

I'd get rid of the Mechanicum Symbol on the back of the Land Raider, or cover it with something Non-Imperial.

I LOVE your weathering on the rhino...WOW

Very cool and characterful army. The weathering really adds to the feeling of them getting up close and personal. I really like how the tanks complement the look of the army. Great job.

Your green details are beautiful. The blending on the raptors looks especially nice, too!

Lovely army.

Love the cloaks!

Wow, you win a Morley. Very nice painting you're doing here, and the layering on the cloaks looks great. This is top-notch stuff.

Keep it up!

Great work! The mud on the Land Raider is very, very well done. Keep the pics coming!

yeah,
great work, its cool to see how fast your working!

I also really like the progress index in your first post.. a very cool idea which probabily keeps you motivated!
Maybe you should add a completion date next to each unit as it gets completed? will be cool to look back on.
I may steal this idea for my own future projects!

PAnic...

As others have said, the weathering on the Land Raider is absolutely fantastic. I also love the use of fluorescent green accents, particularly on what look like chemical intakes on the back of the dread, the glow just seem so perfectly Chaotic.

Hi all !

Damned ! That of compliments ! Thanks a lot

I see that you love my fluorescent green. So, here is how I make it :

* Paint a basecoat with Orkhide Shade Foundation

* Next, in Snot Green and Snot Green + Sunburst Yellow

* And finally, Skull White

I hope that this is going to help you.

Now, I present you my 1st CSM squad, finished today :















That's all for today,
Cheers.

Hi - I love the army! Have you put it in the Army Profile section yet?
