is looking good.

i like the dark colour scheme.

Looking good, I too like the dark red/purpley colour scheme.

I'd have to see a better quality picture before I could really comment. It took me half a second to realize that it was painted. Although, I guess that can stand as commentary. I'd like to see a bit more contrast, if none exists behind the veil of grainy half-light.

i could barely even tell it was painted. that's not a comment on your paint job but the quality of the pic posted. even if you don't have a high resolution camera, you can take better pics by controlling the light and background. try to have the light coming in from behind the camera, not behind the model (you've got a sunny window behind the model). also, put a few pieces of printer paper (or anything white) around and behind the model to form a little box so that the colors on the model stand out against the white paper. take a look at the "helmetless" sanguinor thread here on P&M for an example of what i mean. some people buy fancy picture boxes to take better pics but you only need a few sheets of paper to get most of the same effect. i hope that helps as you went through the time and effort of assembling/painting your model and you should have a pic that shows it off.

Lorgar would be proud.

Hopefully a clearer pic

where are you uploading the pics? if it's to the dakka gallery, there is a field that says forum links and if you click on it, it'll automatically copy the correct address to the clipboard and you can just right-click-paste the address into your post.

Its pose is very... erect.

It looks nice and clean ... a little too much so to my eye. I agree with the above ... some Word Bearer graffiti and scripture on scrolls would go a long way to make it readily identified as Word Bearers.

I've used some of the gobs of purity seals that you get with marine kits (but sculpted a skull over the seal) for added detail. Some of the scrolls and misc bits from the Sisters of Battle Rhino and misc WH Empire items work great, too.
