Fur and feet

So I am starting my Word Bearers all over again. My old miniatures have pretty much been put into retirement. I have been waiting for a new Chaos Space Marine range for a long time, and my old Word Bearers had varying levels of painting quality.

This time round I hope to try and have a consistent paint scheme and quality of painting.

So, it is starting with the Master of Possessions. This is such a great miniature, and it’s whole role is extremely Word Bearer-like.

Kor Phaeron – The Master of the Faith

Kor Phaeron is finished, and here is a pic of his good self and Erebus representing! 😀

I am not entirely sure I am that keen on their bases, or the scenic base. Nothing wrong with it, just not sure it fits my other Word Bearers.

Here is some pics of Kor Phareon on his own. I love how this guy walks into his suit of terminator armour, and the contrast between the heretical red armour and the loyalist grey is pretty damn sweet.

My own real issue with this model is the face. It looks like he has had a stroke. This may actually be intentional. His creaking body has been pumped full of so many drugs and undergone so many surgeries, that his features represent that. But it doesn’t look sinister, it just looks a bit derpy. Other than that, I am pleased with these two. Loads of the detail is difficult to pick out on these models, and I think I managed to get away with it!
