r/WordBearers

Not quite done with either. Been going through some Legionnaires and a Rhino as part of my attempts to put together some WB.

For the Legionnaires I did a slapchop method. I know that’s looked down upon, but it makes painting them easier for me and frankly I have to take time into consideration.

For the Rhino i based vallejo grey and then did some of the flatter surfaces with white scar.

The red is all Flesh Tearers Red.

I’m noticing that the red on the Rhino though is brighter than the Legionnaire. Is there anyway to tone down the red on the Rhino? Even if not for this one, maybe a way to get the darker red on vehicles for future projects?

Also any tips you might have would be helpful.

Howdy howdy,
It’s my first time posting and I just wanted to show off some of the characters I finished up for my word bearers.

My warband is the chapter of the shattered skull and the represent a smattering of word bearers drawn together to preach the word of Lorgar. Also picture are the chapters “allies”, the Sectarians.

Long time lurker and all that. Took a break from my Word Bearers but with the new Mk IV models I've picked them up again

First time poster and relatively new to mini painting. Basically painted half of the Blackstone Fortress box before deciding to build a WB warband.

I tested two slight variations with the two CSM models from the BSF box and started with a box of legionnaires. I‘m using a sponge technique applying Gal Vorbak and Word Bearers red and I’m quite happy with the result at a close range. However, from a distance the scheme feels a bit monotonous and hence I‘m looking for some thoughts how to add some more „pop“… any other comments are most welcome as well…

Left model: finishing layer of Mephisto Red and some highlights with adding some beige in the mix.

Middle: finishing layer of magenta mixed with Gal Vorbak, highlights with magenta.

Right: Same as middle but before after washes and highlights; not sure if i should continue to edge highlight; also thinking about adding teal details for some pop…

Cheers!!!

[edit: right model is after oil washes]

I am trying to make a full Word Bearer/Daemon host army, painted this guy in that scheme. Love how he came out but having trouble keeping bases interesting. Any feedback is appreciated🤙

I have been a little disappointed with the flavor for the Word Bearers since 10ed and I wantes to see if I coidl create interesting rules that woukd add flavor and power without becoming overpowered. I would like the community to please review and comment.

FOR THE DARK GODS AND THE AURELIAN!

Gotta throw some gospel in from time to time.

Finally decided to paint my first Word Bearer! I'm really pleased with how they turned out!

I was going to dinge down the copper, but I fell in love with how cartoonish it ended up 😅

Finally, getting around to this transport for my word bearers.

Still need to add some runes and the Legion symbol. On the fence as to whether or not I want to add any of those “colchesian geometric shapes”, anybody have experience doing them?

I picked up the old chaos start collecting box off ebay a while ago, but I have only now finally gotten around to kitbashing some eightbound to make a squad of five possessed. It was great fun, so if you have some greater possessed still hanging around, I recommend giving it a good go.

I'm torn on these 3 schemes and I could use some help from the masses.
