Ready for painting

Finally got round to finishing mr Word Bearer, adding some personal touches to the model, such as parchment and candles, and tidying up some of the conversion work.

The legs are from the Mark IV legion set, with the left foot heated up and straightened, and the right leg moved backwards to give the impression of walking. The torso, left shoulder pad, and head both come from the Word Bearer upgrade set. Being on of the new kits it was perfect, no flash, no mould lines, and hardly any resin, making it easier to prepare for use. The arms are from Mark IV despoiler set, both straightened into a more natural poses the axe comes from the Sons of Horus command set, and the left hand is from the plastic chaos aspiring champion. You can't see in this picture but he is holding a knife. The pouches and grenades are from the Tigrus pattern bolt gun set. Everything else is green stuff.

The model has been given extra hight using 1mm plasticard, which I have inserted on the thighs, on the waist, and on the knock. This is to give the models a slightly more imposing look, and to tower over human models, as the background describes. Unfortunately I was a bit sloppy on the thigh area, hence the need to use green stuff to repair some damage.

I am looking forward to painting this model, but first I have to bug some red paint!
