Pre Heresy Word Bearers Stuff



I finished this master up last night, and given the results of my past green stuff efforts, I'm happy with this. I've never been very good with green stuff, but I think I've got a reasonable icon that shows a flame springing from the pages of a book. This is the icon that the Word Bearers Legion sported before they turned traitor.

I used a Chaos Space Marine plastic pad for the base, since it's got rivets and more of a "pre heresy look". I trimmed off the bottom "spike" of plastic, and left the other one in place for variety.

So, I'll try casting a few of these up and painting one up as a test model. In the meantime, it's more work on them as well as my loathsome goat men!

  3. Nice sculpting there Jeff. I'm looking at sculpting and casting here Adelaide as well but I haven't found a worthy project to start with yet...

  4. Thanks dude. You haven't been inspired by anything lately? Try reading Rynn's World or Helsreach. Just finished both novels, and they made me want to start Crimson Fists and Black Templars respectively :)

    If you do start hobbying again, get that blog of yours going!

  5. Possibly- depends on my sample models and how all the details pan out. For now, it's just a hobby itch I want to scratch :)

  10. Nice work bro.
    By the way, I met a guy in KK who does sculpting and man he is good. He was doing some minis for an american company and he does some for himself also.
    Maybe it is time for me to try my hands on sculpting also and see how it turns out.
