This is a GREAT army!
I'm loving the work you're doing with the freehand stuff, keep it up!
Ok, new 5 man squad done!
Ive finally found a way of painting these im happy with, so some of the minis look a little rubbish still.
But they are improving. Its a shame i cant really go back to the old stuff and touch it up, as im much happier with how these fellas look. Next 5 minis will be the robed guys, so i might pop a guide to how i paint em if anyone actually cares.
These look really nice. I really like the daemons in the beginning too! Keep it up.

Chaos Marine havocs are awful, only thing stopping me conveting a loyalist missile launcher guy is the possibility of some new plastic havocs some time soon.
Sure ive been told they are due out soon.
Thanks for the comments guys, really into this force again so i should be working a lot more on them over the new few months![]()
Latest offering!
Getting there slowly now!
Ah! These guys are so cool! I absolutely love the Word Bearers, and you've done them nothing short of justice in the superlative. I am very, very excited to see this army carried out.
Any plays for a Demagogue in the future :3?
Great painting Tzen! Any chance you could tell me how you did your robes? That latest guy looks terrific.
Pretty sure it's a dark angel veteran. That's why I'm so interested cos I'm just about to start on my own!
I've been asked a few times about how i paint the robes, so eventually ill make a guide, my camera broke recently so im having to rob my brothers whenever hes around, so at the moment its hard actually making a visual guide.
The robed models are indeed very slightly converted dark angel plastics. Spot of green stuff here and there and they make excellent word bearer models (imo).
I'll be working on my Dark Apostle once ive got the rest of this squad done i think. Not 100% sure though, i want him to be something really unique so it may be a long process of elimination.
Just one more robed guy to go then thats the second squad done!
Then its Second Rhino time!
Amazing army so far. I love those hooded, faceless marines. Your color scheme works really well with dark red armors and bony robes. Keep it up![]()
Like these alot!
Good stuff, I thought I'd drop by to say good job on the effective colour scheme and kit-bashing for your Word Bearers.
The Tzeentchian Daemons are great too, superb in fact.![]()
Ok! heres the army done! (well, i say done, i mean, the original bits of the army are finished!)
Second squad finished:
And my next project!
As an aside im currently working on this site:
http://www.wordbearers.com
Its still very very very new (like two days old) but i'll be trying to put together any guides or just general works i can find regarding the word bearers here.
Feel free to gimme feedback on the site and the minis
(any tips for taking pics of armies? cos these are lowsy).

I like your DA conversions, they're very effective in my opinion. I think that they would benefit from some trim arount the bottom of the robes and perhaps some freehand chaos icons on the body areas.
