I had a minor collision with another car just before xmas (he smashed into me!), which knackered my back and hand a little (and my car), so I haven’t been able to paint much at all. I have however managed to finish off a squad of terminators when I have managed to work through it.
The Lord Discordant is finished!
It’s always off with a model like this. I always want to do that little bit more with it, but it is a gaming piece. So it’s knowing when to stop. Cracking model though!
Work continues on my Lord Discordant.
I have been continuing my Word Bearers. After finishing the first 5 man squad, I am now working on a character. The first of which is the Lord Discordant.
Such a cool model, the temptation to go OTT on it is very strong!
So, this is the first squad of my new Word Bearers force. Looking forward to spending a bit more time with this paint scheme on a character soon (maybe when it isn’t so damn warm!)
Here is the same squad but on different backgrounds!
I am finally getting round to painting up a new Word Bearers army. Unlike my previous army, I really wanted to strike a more sinister, darker tone for the army.
This is the first of many models!
Recently, any Word Bearers I have painted have been characters, and I have blended the dark red and black together. This is fine for characters, however for rank and file troops it is time consuming. And for the entire army it meant there would be inconsistent shades of red across different units.
To get around this I have mixed together my own dark red for the base colour.
This is a mix of Abaddon Black and Mephiston red. Knowing I would need a lot of it, I mix them together into one pot. So any unit I paint now will be the exact same colour as the next.
I am hoping to get the whole army done by next summer. So I foresee a lot a Word Bearers in my future!
I have had this model built and undercoated ready to be painted since he came out. And I have finally got round to popping a quick lick of paint on him!
I love the model, but I am not sure he has a place in my 9th edition Word Bearers army, so I haven’t spent too much time on him.
The master of Possessions is finally done. Well, nearly. I need to do more with his base and tidy up the back pack and cloak. But he is done. I am pretty happy with this paint job, and it is a really amazing model. It has “Word Bearers” written all over it… not you… literally… but well, you get my point.
I am nearing the end on this amazing miniature. I still have to finish his staff and belt buckle, and tidy the robes up here and there. After that it’s the back pack and done!
Work continues!
Quite a lot left to do, but a couple of pics!
