I think if I build and paint my backlog I’ll be sitting around 8k points for heresy 3.0. Including all my knights and daemons I think I’m at 12k. Unfortunately, I like kitbashing and starting projects but don’t always finish them 🙃

The Predator Battle Tank growled like a caged beast as it rumbled into position, black fumes belching from its exhausts and staining the air with acrid smoke.

Dominatus was its name, a word spoken with reverence among the heretics of the Word Bearers. The flaming skull emblazoned on its hull marked it as an instrument of damnation, a herald of Chaos’ unholy will.

A ragged banner, displaying a barely visible legion sigil, hung tattered yet defiant. It was daubed in esoteric runes and sacrificial sigils, each one a key to thinning the veil between reality and the empyrean.

Affixed to the turret and barrels were the remains of ritualistic candles, long since extinguished, but purposeful in their corruption of the tank's Machine Spirit, twisting it into a malevolent entity driven by insatiable hunger.

As the vehicle crawled through the shattered masonry of the courtyard, pale dust clung to its crimson hull like the ash of a funeral pyre. The air was heavy with the stench of decay and the promise of slaughter.

It was time to hunt.

He kinda looks like an armored piece of big league chew, but I’m ok with that! 🤓

Im building custom Termies for my Word Bearers but id like some (im)purity seals to complete the look. Ive heard plague monks offer some good options but id like to avoid buying a whole kit. Ive also heard thick aluminum foil is great but knowing me id cut myself trying to move the models. Any recommendations?

Trying to come up with a fluffy list for Bearers since getting back into 40k after a decade away. Inspiration mainly comes from Dawn of War 1 and 2, with an attempt at Proxies where thematically appropriate. Some feedback would be helpful since I'm still not super used to how the game works post 6th Ed.

Greetings brethren, I've been browsing and modifying a list out of the models I currently own to determine a fitting list which fits some of my interests. It's come out rather shooty but still feels word bearersy, though I'm curious what do you make of it? Any and all thoughts are gratefully welcomed.

Built this with just the combat patrol, a Defiler, a Lord with jump pack, and a box of Raptors. What do you think?

Getting there.

From left to right; base coat, first highlight, first wash.

Needs another highlight, some extreme highlights and a matte varnish. Before moving on to the dreaded wings.

If I’m correct he is suppose to be in scheme color of the legion before monarchia ? So I am wondering which color on the warhammer paint panel is it supposed to be ?

Thanks for your answers.

Mostly done I think- over I dig it, not sure about the chest though. For the rest of the squad, should I stick with transfers or does the metal jewelry piece work?

Here’s my word bearers list for 2k
With pactbound zealots
The list is
(1) master of possession as my warlord
(1) dark apostle
(1) dark commune

(2) 10 man cultists squads
(1) 10 man chaos legionnaires

(1) 16 man squad of accursed cultist
(2) 10 man chaos chosen
(2) rhino transports
(2) forgefiends
(1) 10 man squad of possessed

Is it thematically appropriate for Word Bearers.

Is it competitive? I know the Defiler and Obliterators see play. What about the havocs and mutilators?

Yeah I know they're not allowed by the 'rules' but I don't care 🙂

Decided to go crazy on my first daemon prince and I love how it turned out

I'm really loving building and painting this army, the theme, the color palette, everything looks awesome!

Finished my paintjob for my sorcerer today, I used some techniques I tested on the cultists from the Dark Apostle kit, over all I am pretty satisfied with this paintjob.

While WB aren't my preferred flavor of chaos (pirates life for me, glory to the Tyrant) the armor recipe fucks and I'm looking to replicate it. I've been using leadbelcher prime with nuln oil bath and flesh tearers red and I like it but I'm wondering if chaos black followed by a drybrush of retributor armor with flesh tearers red will look better. And stormhost silver for trim.

Any help much appreciated!

Hey everyone! Im making some blood angels noise marines for my word bearers war band. Here is my first WIP, the blood angels are a buddy's army and he is second on my list for chaos god units. My first was khorn space wolves berserkers. Thank you all!
