Hey so I starting the Word Bearer army, and going for the full legion. Thinking of grabbing the warhound or reaver after christmass but til then just painting some marines. So this is going to be updated regularly til it reaches the full 5k.

Also need some advice on a few things

How should I model the following THEY ALL MUST BE HERE!!!!
If they are dead and I do not know please say what armour they should be in thx . But if there is nothing special about them fell free to ignore them. Also weapon help for each would be great.

Since Kor Phaeron is not fully astrates how should I model him? Imperal guard head? lol

Thx for any advice and here is the first update









Also expect alot better pics of the whole army once I get a new cam alot of the colour is lost due to poor camera pixels. Think it has like 50 pixels per image lol. Bought it long time ago was like one of this first that used a usb lol.

Finally one last thing a question, how where the units set up? In the book they kinda suggested that each company had its own chaplin and apothicary "or how ever you spell it" Shouls I try to model one in to each unit?

Also how many of their units "preheresy" had terminator armour if any?

As a fellow word bearer, I'll be watching this with much interest! You might want to add a wash or two to some of those painted models, otherwise they look pretty sweet to me

Thanks none of them are really done yet was trying to due them in batches... which is alot more boring then one would think... Just getting to the silver then doing some nuln oil for the silver and the red.... doesn't look that bad in person lol. Better camera very soon tho I promise got it for christmass.... even tho it is still wrapped
