Blood for the Word Bearers!

I know it's a bit unusual for there to be khorne bezerkers in the ranks of the Word Bearers, after all we worship all the gods, not just one in particular, but I'm used to battling all the various pantheons of the dark gods, I've played against Nurgle, Slaanesh (with little success ^^), Tzeentch and Khorne alike, and I've always loved how each troop type looks and plays and with this army thats what's important to me. The look.

So I've decided to purchase one of each of the troop types (i.e: Thousand Sons, Khorne Bezerkers, Slaaneshi Noise Marines and Plague Marines) and I've decided to stick to theme also by keeping their squad numbers equal to that god's favoured number, although I think the boxes make you do that anyways, Lazy old me ^^

So, I'll end this by sharing a piece of advice when you go to paint anything...... keep it simple....... seriously, I've spent countless hours the last few nights trying to get the look I want and I'm still not happy and the fact I now have to paint 7 more of the fethers to look like him scares/saddens me xD



Check it out for yourself, apologies for the poor photo's best I can get, also he's not 100% finished there will be touch ups, but anyways the first of my Khorne Bezerkers, bursting with the rage of a volcano, although the more I look at it the more it looks like leopard spots :(

Terminator Squads.

Well, I know it seems like i've loaded up a lot today, but this is actually the work of the last 2 weeks or so, so don't be that impressed. (or expect me to update this much every week) ^^

The next on my hit list were my Terminators, after all, my HQ's couldn't go it alone now could they?

Again a new kit since the release of the newer Chaos Space Marine Codex, and again an overall success with the exception of one thing.... Lightning claws.... I miss lightning claws , but thats just me being picky as per usual I guess. The kit doesn't allow for too much modification from normal chaos terminators but hopefully I'll be able to spruce mines up a bit with some purity seals and other cloth bits to add to the whole word bearers theme.

I digress, you can find the terminator pictures in the same place as my Lord/Sorceror, for those who didn't read the last blog it was there, go read it now! ^^

But if you are too lazy to read it here: Terminator Album

Terminator Lord/Sorceror.

As I said before I'm new to this whole thing, I'd hoped I could get a photo album type thing up on this blog but apparently not, only one or two pictures at a time without looking silly. So I've put all my photo's into a Photo Bucket album and I'll be making albums for each of my units as I go to save confusion.

I decided to start with my Sorcerer/Lord first as they will be my HQ's most of the time, and every great army has to have a rather sexy commander at it's helm. So I've spent the last few days working on them. While I'm at it I'm going to say my piece about the actual kit as well, probably not that interesting I know but hey, it makes me look like I know what the hell I'm doing right? ^^

So with these kits you get a stylish choice of weaponry and additional bits of kit to make your terminator lord/sorcerer stand out from the crowd, and with this kit it's easy, the ample amount of choice you get and variations are outstanding and the quality of the pieces themselves are great, not to mention you are left with plenty of spare bits. A much greater success than the old models anyway..... I mentioned above I hate resin..... well I hate metal too :P

I'll also take the chance to apologize for the quality, best I can get at the moment, So without further ado, here is the album link for my terminator lord/sorcerer: Terminator Album

Beginnings.

As you've read already, I've started already, so this blog is a little out of date, but it's time to get you up to scratch with what I've been doing.


I started by buying a Chaos Renegade Strike Force, which contains: A Chaos Space Marine Lord, a Chaos Space Marine Terminator Squad, two Chaos Space Marine Squads, two Chaos Space Marine Rhinos, a Chaos Space Marine Land raider, a Chaos Space Marine Vindicator and a Defiler.

I then went and picked up another Chaos Marine Squad and another Rhino.

A few weeks later, whilst this all remained lurking in a large cardboard box like Solid Snake, I ordered up a Forge World Word Bearers Dreadnought and some Word Bearers Rhino and Land Raider doors. Also I managed to blag a Bandeblade from a friend of mines, Apocalypse games.... here I come ;)

The last few weeks I've spent building all of these.... except the dreadnought.... me and resin have a history... as you come to find when my dreadnought blog is full of caps lock and casual swearing ^^

Check out 'The Tome' for updates on what I have and my polls to help me pick my next units.

Thanks and remember..... Spread The Word!

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog site, this is all a bit new to me so apologies if it's pretty dire ^^

I've been war gaming for the past few years and have gone through a big quantity of armies and gaming systems, my regular games are 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Lord of the Rings, Necromunda, Inquisitor and Blood Bowl.

I've played a fair number of armies, more than I'd care to admit, but this time I'm doing something different altogether. My normal line-up when I start a new army....

1) Buy loads
2) Build it
3) Play to death

Now for most people there would be plenty more steps in there, and that's whats brought me here today.

This time I'm slowing it down, this time I'm going to be converting, themeing, painting and taking every care to make a displayable army I can play with also, give me something to be proud of on both fronts (Gaming and Dispay).

I've decided to go with the Word Bearers legion after reading the Heresy Novels, also because it gives me some good room to play around, I can pick any unit and it's theme as well as giving me some great painting/conversion opportunities.

So watch this space as I struggle through a rather large box of Chaos Space Marines, join me for the highs, lows, even lower lows and rage fits I suffer.

Watch this space....... and Spread the Word!
