Heresy Era Word Bearers - Army Complete!

Another army complete, and likely to be sold off without ever actually hitting the tabletop? Seems that way! The Word Bearers army that I'd initially planned for Adepticon proved to be thematically incompatible with the events that I'm participating in (hence the recent World Eaters). Nevertheless, in the background I have been chipping away at 'em and with the delivery and subsequent painting of some last remaining bases, the army is complete! Figure I'll let the pictures do the talking:


Argel Tal


Kor Phaeron and Erebus


Zardu Layak and his Blade Slaves


Legion Chaplain


Gal Vorbak


Cataphractii Terminators


Apothecarion Detachment


Cortus Contemptor Talon


Assault Squad


Tactical Squad


Ashen Circle


Sicaran Venator


The all important painting chart!

Pretty happy with how the army turned out, and am a little bummed that it won't get any table time at Adepticon. Such is life, however! They'll be going on the auction block soon enough to help fund the next project - What that may be remains to be seen, but there's a non-zero chance that it's going to be a return to the Benevolent Cult of the Four-Armed Emperor, if the recent upcoming release reveals are anything to go by...

  1. Great looking force there! Kor Phaeron and Erebus look suitably deranged ;) Shame you're not going to get any table time with them. Got a full-Army shot? I'd kind of like to see how imposing Argel Tal looks mixed in with the rest of them.

    1. Thanks! I was tempted to make Erebus full-on cross-eyed. :D

    The struggle is real! Although the word 'complete' rarely applies to me...

    1. Haha! To be fair, most of my armies are wrapped up before they're ever "complete". They may not be done, but I'm done with them... ;)

  3. I just paint 'em to sell 'em.

    Man I would have a tear in my eye every time I let an army go ;0)

    1. Oh it's always a struggle, and there's been many a touch of seller's remorse over the years!

  4. I do not understand how you can do that with so many armies. Would drive me bonkers.

    1. It's probably driven me bonkers long ago, and now it seems normal... Haha!

  5. All very nice, especially those RT-looking Contemptors! Those things just steal the show. :)
