<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Word Bearers: The Yellowing"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Word Bearers: The Yellowing CSM, and I wanted them to have the sort of zealous, puritanical feel that only lovely, lovely yellow can provide. I keep having to fight the urge to dirty them up. My guys shine their armor 'til their fingers bleed.

The following are a couple of test models, partially or mostly finished. I hope to do a good bit of converting on the rest of the squad, adding scrolls, grimoires, banners, and the like. There's too much paint on these gentlemen, but I'm trying to curb my Simple Green addiction (mmm, jagermeister!), and the third step of recovery is learning to live with mistakes. Uh, right?

Wow. That's some real Fluff Police stuff going on there. You could say "Lord so and so's company of Word Bearers repainted their armor yellow to show their dedication to X, to show their shame and desire for revenge on Y or because Lord so and so is splitting off from Lorgar.

Red and Silver is their colors. It's part of their chapter, part of what they use to show their hate of the emperor. If a Dark Apostle insisted on the changing of his Host's colored, he would no longer be an active member of the Legion, plain and simple.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290669/1507319.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290669/1507319.page GMT Word Bearers: The Yellowing

I'm now infinitely jealous and bitter!

Seriously though, there are not enough yellow Chaos marines. This pleases me, please continue.

On a side note are you going to keep the laughing/screaming/flaming skull iconography?

I don't think so. I read somewhere (where escapes me, at the moment; maybe the online Lexicanum?) that the Word Bearers icon used to be a book in flames, and I think I'll be adapting that image or fabricating a new one. The manic devil head thingy currently in use is a wee bit !!!METAL!!! for my tastes.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290669/1630116.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290669/1630116.page GMT CSM Dark Apostle WIP

The book makes more sense as well, although you do miss out on saying everything in a high-pitched scream. Couldn't see anything written about it but here's the pic.



Will you be giving an Accursed Crozius to your lord/champions as counts as power weapons?

That's the plan. I'd originally thought to use his banner as a substitute for the AC, but it didn't really seem to work out that way. It's less "weapon of doom" and more "giant book on a stick."

I can't wait to see a completed squad/group pic. The burning book does look a little better than "screaming daemon head" I like the idea of mixing both of them together on various models in the army.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290669/1634191.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/290669/1634191.page GMT
