Games Workshop Citadel - Base: Gal Vorbak Red (12ml)

Product Information

Firstly, I want to prime everything with Citadel Spray Wraithbone, but to ensure I get the right colour and finish, I’ll then paint everything again with Wraithbone from the pot, which I’ll also need to tidy up any mistakes.

Primarch • Legion Master • Praetor • Centurion • Space Marine Command Squad • Chief Apothecary • Forgemaster • Chief Librarian • Herald • Decurion The bonuses you get are powerful. Daemons can be taken as allies (the Red Books say Codex: Chaos Daemons , but you should now read this as Daemons of the Ruinstorm), and all independent characters gain Preferred Enemy (Loyalist Space Marines) , which really boosts their combat potential. The Emperor could not allow this to continue, and took His son Guilliman to chastise Lorgar for these foolish beliefs. In the Censure, Monarchia was levelled by the XIII Legion, and the populace reduced to ash. Lorgar and his Legion were forced to kneel before Guilliman and the Emperor, and accept that their belief was wrong, and the Emperor was no god. Reduced to only three active companies in number, the direct favour of Lorgar was bestowed upon the survivors and resulted in the elevation of their leader, Argel Tal, to the post of Chapter Master of the XVII th Legion's Serrated Sun Chapter. These "Dark Brethren" became the first of the Daemonhosts later known as the Possessed amongst the Forces of Chaos.Finally, just as I did with the Terminator, I’ll apply some Technical paint to create a textured base and start work on the next batch while the paint is drying. Historically, my approach to ork scenery is generally MAXIMUM SPEED with just enough tonal variation to not look turbo lazy. These shanties were lovingly bodged together about a decade ago and are still seeing regular service on the table; With the release of the new Kill Team box it seems like maybe the time has finally come for the shanty hamlet to expand to a shanty village. Hell yeah. Mindless Killers means if Zardu is dead, then they become “mindless” and have to go towards the nearest enemy and charge – which is pretty crap as they’re footslogging. They also have plasma pistols, which I guess is OK. Cut Them Down– Word Bearers must always make Sweeping Advances when possible, and must re-roll Sweeping Advance roll results of “1”. The Word Bearers have access to a wide range of unique upgrades, allowing for some real flavour to be added to any force.

I was pretty excited about the new Kill Team terrain, so much so that I tore through it as soon I got my hands on it! I knew the secret to finishing would be speed: If a project takes too long, I get distracted by life and lose enthusiasm. All in all, this project took 3-4 days: Sequentially drybrush (lighter layers) in Army painter Gunmetal & Plate Mail Metal and then Vallejo Steel. Charismatic Leadership – Any primary detachment from the Word Bearers Legion must take a secondary Compulsory HQ choice where this is allowed in the Force Organisation chart, and this must be either a Centurion or a Chaplain Consul.Lorgar had tasked the Serrated Sun Chapter with venturing into the Eye of Terror in search of definitive proof that true divinities existed in the universe. This truth made Lorgar realise that the Emperor of Mankind's own ideology, the Imperial Truth, was the true lie. This realisation ultimately converted Lorgar and his entire Legion to the worship of the Ruinous Powers of Chaos. A real swing and miss for Forge World with the rules here – the models for these are gorgeous, but I rarely, if ever see them taken.

I used Dark Yellow from Secret Weapons pigment line (sadly going out of business), but any light pigment powder should suffice. This Rite of War is probably one of the most unique in the game, and I absolutely love it on paper – sadly I have never seen it used in practice! If I was going to collect Word Bearers, this is what I would go for. All in all this Rite is not a “must-take”, but it has some nice benefits and makes for a fluffy force if you use Daemons of the Ruinstorm alongside your Legionaries.

Wrapping Up

Overall, he is never a bad choice for a Word Bearers army, as all of his abilities segue with generally all the good choices for this Legion – whether it is large numbers of Dark Channelling troops, Daemon allies, or using one of the Rites of War. The Bearers of the Word are a Legion with a lot of choices and scope for different builds, all of which will have good morale, strong psychic abilities, and access to things other Legions don’t have, like Daemon allies. I think they are a good Traitor Legion if you are not sure exactly what sort of force you want and don’t want to commit to a Legion with a specific playstyle (like, say, World Eaters).

Orks: Gal Vorbak Red can be used to paint the skin and clothing of Ork models. It can also be used to paint the weapons and equipment of Ork units, giving them a hot, glowing look. V- Keshig • Ebon Keshig • Golden Keshig • Falcon's Claws • Karaoghlanlar • Kyzagan • Sagyar Mazan • Stormseer •Burning Lore – Any Praetor, Centurion or Chaplain can take this upgrade for +30 pts, turning them into a Level 1 Psyker with access to Biomancy or Telepathy. For Praetors, Biomancy can be potent – a decent upgrade all round. And finally I’ve hit the entire thing with Talent in a bottle Agrax Earthshade to make it look even dirtier and worn. Bish Bosh Bash, done son. Let me tell you of these great forces that I have set in motion. My design shall become clear in time, but for now you must see the pieces in play before the game board can be revealed. We start with the forces of the Graven Star, a Chapter of my beloved Primarch's legion. I have served the Graven Star for several decades but am not truly a part of them. My type struggles to truly belong. There are some among the Graven Star I know well, those who I stood alongside in the ashes of Monarchia, who watched Calth's star poison and dim with me. Those who remember fighting at the Urizen's side in both the Great Crusade and the Liberation that we attempted to follow it with. Tainted Weapon– You can swap any character’s power weapon with one of these, which is Specialist Weapon and Instant Death . It’s a bit niche, as it has no AP or Strength bonus, but I have been on the receiving end when wielded by Gal Vorbak against Ogryns – very nasty! Finally, however, there is a great upgrade for Lorgar called Lorgar Transfigured – which I think is a must take for this Primarch. For 75 pts (he starts cheaper than most as it is – so this isn’t too bad), he becomes a Level 3 Psyker who can select powers from Divination and Telekinesis, and manifests on a 3+ rather than a 4+. If you don’t take this, the Erratic Psychic Power rule is used instead, which makes Lorgar a terrible Level 2 Psyker choosing randomly and manifesting a 5+ – this is absolutely dreadful, so take this upgrade!
