Word Bearers Test Model Complete

Word Bearers Test Model Complete

I have completed my first test model for the Word Bearers. Yet to decide on wether to add decals or scripting to the model.

I probably will. so work now press ahead to get the first 10 models completed whilst I am working on them will also start the HQ model. 

Aiming to have these completed by the end of January and hoping that no other distractions come into the frame.

Word Bearers New Year New Army Part 3

So my last post of the year before we welcome in 2020.

Been cracking on with the Word Bearers and have assembled all the models from the box set.

Some are in component parts to make it easier for painting.

Have to say I love the models for the Greater Possessed and the new Plastic Obliterators.

Also started work on my test colour scheme for the Chaos Marines. Nice a simple to start with Chaos Black then Leadbelcher for the metal and Khorne red for the armour. Bought together with a wash of Nuln Oil and then Agrax Earthshade. Aiming to have the first model completed before I go back to work. Not decided on the basing for the models yet.

Word Bearers New Year New Army Part 2

Word Bearers New Year New Army Part 2

Last night I had a quick read through the codex and delved into the Word Bearers section of the codex.

The Word Bearers have some nice special rules which I have listed below with some of my thoughts.

Legion Trait: Profane Zeal: You can re-roll failed Morale tests for units with this trait.

Will be handy when looking to hold onto objectives with smaller units and ensuring that they stay in battle longer than their opponents especially as the Chaos Marine Squads only have leadership 7 or 8 with a Champion.

Stratagem: Dark Pact use this when a World Bearers Character attempts to summon a unit of Daemons to the battlefield You can re-roll any of the dice used in the summoning roll, and your character will not suffer any mortal wounds for rolling doubles or triples. Costing 1 command point this will seriously be looked at if I decide to add a force of demons into my growing army. 

Warlord Trait: The Voice of Lorgar this increases the range of any aura abilities on your Warlord's datasheet by 3 inches. To be honest this looks a given at the current stage of reading.

The lure of the models could not keep me away for long. Looking at the models in the box this is going to give me a Patrol Detachment which is a nice starting point to my army.

Army List:

Master of Possession 5 Power

10 Chaos Space Marines 8 Power

2 Greater Possessed 8 Power

2 Obliterators 12 Power

1 Venomcrawler 7 Power

Total Power 40 Power

So a nice little starting force that allows some nice flexibilty on the table and some stunning models to paint. Should be more than achievable in the time period.

Don't forget that if you are looking to take part that you can post your pics up on Instagram and Facebook with the hashtag  #PaintingWarhammer2020
