On the seventeenth day of Christmas The Emperor gave to me;
Holy beliefs
He-res-y
Sor-cerers a' cast-in'
Poi-son and cont-a-gion
Big blue bastards
12 Butchers Nails
*Cough-er-ahem*
Ten Ma-chine addicts
9 Angels weeping
Psy-chos a' skin-in'
Seven breachers breaching
Russ-is-a-slaying
Sa-vage laugh-ing kill-ers!
Dirty ditch diggers
Per-fect-ion
+++Records Expunged+++
And a Legion full of mys-ter-y
Legion: XVII
Name: Word Bearers
Former name: Imperial Heralds
Primarch: Lorgar Aurelian
First captain at outbreak of heresy:

The Paint scheme uses both Gal Vorbak and Word Bearer reds from FWs own colour range. A guide will be in the upcoming Horus Heresy masterclass book.

Summary:
I believe this list is a representation of the legion in whole 30 tactical marines to show the sheer volume of numbers in the legion. The flame weaponry is there to illustrate their book burning ways. A nice show of special units to top it all off.
Castiel.
Show us some painted ones!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't speak for Castiel, but I'm currently building my WB's Contemptor Dreadnought ^_^
DeleteClose enough. I guess...
DeleteBut what about the infantry?
I planned 15 tactical Marines, 15 Despoilers, 10 Breachers, 5 Support Marines so far ^_^
DeleteStill waiting for Nuncio-Voxes and Mark V parts though^^
Well dang, you like all the red things, don't you?
DeleteHehe, it's probably more a phase ^^ before them i did Death Guard -> Nurgle -> Salamanders, so basically a white/green wave, now it's Khorne -> Word Bearers^^ but i'll add some Slaanesh stuff to the mix, aswell as Knights/Ultramarines, next year is going to be awesome ^,^
DeleteNice to hear your on the case Atia.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, thousand sons are up for preorder. They have a spiffing red scheme, looks like tamiya clear red over metal to me/
Yeah, can't wait to start on them ^^
DeleteI may also get a bunch of Chaos Daemons from a friend, so more cool stuff for my WB's to summon ^,^
