Horus Heresy - Word Bearers #1

Well its update time again, and today also happens to be my birthday

Todays update is all about the start of my Word Bearers, given I've been off work the past week I've been getting the first 10 tac marines built:

I have a bit of an embracing Chaos theme with these guys, I've sculpted the odd bit of the chaos style banding onto their armour and mixed in the odd plastic chaos part. I don't want this to be too ott or I might as well just do a plastic army but it adds some character.

Traditional Word Bearer features such as parchment have been added along with a sprinkling of the forge world WB heads I picked up at the weekender.

I have a bit of a plan for these guys, well a plan formulated with Nife, we both plan on getting a small 500pt section of army painted up in time for the weekender next year. To that end I have whipped up the little table below to chart progress:

Me being organised is quite a shocking sight I must say. I will however be adopting this approach with Deadzone too to try and spur me on to get a strike team fully painted in time for our next meet up.

The word bearers above have now been sprayed up in a red basecoat so expect some progress on them in coming weeks

In my often infrequent Music recommendations I received these 2 albums for my Birthday and can happily recommend them:

I've waited a good few years for a new Keep of Kalessin album and this hasn't let me down, very progressive and experimental Black metal.

 Marduk are always consistent, this is a pretty solid album plus it has a song called nebelwerfer whats not to love ;)
