Horus Heresy: Word Bearers #3

Evening guys and girls,

Theres been a slight gap between updates, I blame this solely on work sucking all my energy and life out of me.

Anyway I have some progress to show on the word bearers, I now have 5 up to a fairly decent standard:







I must say I am really enjoying working on these guys, their armour is largely finished I just need to finish off some bits of weathering and pick out other details. Its also go to have been the first time in 5 years that I have painted a word bearers legion symbol. I'm not as rusty as I thought I would be haha.


I have also been trying to paint some of the astrological symbols that are on a lot of the FW word bearers bits onto their shoulder pads. They are quite crude but I rather like how they look.


In other news I had a parcel arrive this week, it contained the below sacred text:


I am still working my way through it but must say it is hugely inspirational. Theres a fair few techniques I want to give a spin from the book. So I shall be returning to infinity whilst working on the word bearers at the same time.

Theres a few bits I want to try on my Plague for deadzone too.


Anyway thats it for now guys, I may well have a more terrain inspired update mid week :)

  4. Astro symbols are definitely looking good. Keeps them mainly uniform but adds a little bit of character.
