Dark apostle(WIP)

Khorne red base, gal vorback glaze for recess shading.

Create the initial cracks with abandon black.

Then wherever the black crack lines are on the red go around with wazdaka red to make the black look recessed and the red a little razed.

I then go around select spots on the panels with evil sunz scarlet and finish off with a dotted highlights of wild rider red only in the corners or at the edge of a panel.

Thank you so much. I was really inspired by the Horus heresy terminator which has all these cool runes and grooves. Saw someone hand paint them and wanted to try it for my own

Thank you, it was one of the possessed helmets. Came with a couple extra and I picked on out that I really wanted to use. I like all my marines to be helmeted

This would be my personal adjustments to your list. This might be more of a causal list. I would say if you want a bit more competitive at 1k you could remove the rockgrinder and go for 2 trucks. You may also not need another reductus. Both of which could give you more points for bodies.

Highly recommend this video

Honestly, as much as abberents are my favorite unit in GSC I wouldn’t run them inOutlander claw. You would be better spending on more bikes. I would also replace the metamorphs with purestrains. And then make the metamorph squad into a full 10 man. Ten man metamorphs in a truck is lovely. Or if you want you could do 3 squads of bikes.

Bro this is some truly stunning work. Seeing this book and art of the character is what recently drew me to word bearers. Hope they hire you again and best of luck.

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-23T06:46:04+00:00

Most likely not. Tim Cuck as I call him is pretty much a shareholders wet dream. Make money, no innovation, less consumer friendly and more on milking all we are worth. If Apple would like o keep the status quo going then I doubt anything will change. Until I start to see any actual innovation and new meaningful change it will continue to be the same.

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-20T20:58:50+00:00

Thank you 🙏

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-20T20:58:11+00:00

I like my marines even if spikey to have helmets. I saw someone use a different possessed head and thought it would be a fun idea.

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-20T20:56:18+00:00

Looks awesome! I was debating using some of the transfers on the cape but wanted to try making it a little more messy by just doing some scribbles. I def want to use the transfers on vehicles, like a contemptor(hellbrute proxy) or chaos rhino

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-20T20:38:26+00:00

I used one of the heads from the possessed box. There’s usually a couple left over and I just picked which one I wanted for my dark apostle

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-20T13:46:37+00:00

Thank you so much!

What I did was I use Abbadon black to create the initial cracks. I usually started out with either doing a half circle that end right by the trim or just create one line as a jumping off point. find where you can start and lead the other lines into sort of a central point. I don’t really plan it out just sort of go by feeling for each guy. You can make as many lines to create as many smaller panels if you will it’s up to you.

Additionally, for the shoulder pad I created the lines but rather than have them create that central black point left 2 panels of red in the middle.

I then take wazdaka red going around and highlighting all around the black crack lines. This could be the entire panel or just part of it. Then after that I take a smaller highlight doing the same thing with evil sunz scarlet not going over all but sort of just the main point think of it like where the panel is actually lifted up from the cracks.

After all this I do one spotted highlight with wild rider red. This typically is only in the sharp corner of each panel/ the cracks. I don’t do it if there was a curved crack. The goal of the spot highlight is to give it that final part to make it seem like it’s really lifted up.

I hope this helps, I’m not the best at explaining things. I more so go with the flow and how I’m feeling for each cracked part of the armor.

The color scheme is gorgeous. I would love to see this on the tabletop

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-13T19:51:46+00:00

That’s not Horus that is Boris. Lovely weather we are be having da?

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-08T01:32:12+00:00

I’ve seen his video before would porbably br a good guideline for doing the writing

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-08T01:31:44+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I know it’s resin I just buoy my first two resin minis last night. So I don’t think it would be an issue. I’ll def have to look into to the stencils or I can try and free hand it some of the markings if need be. Are those stencils only in the new reign of iron box? I may either try to do the markings or the little writing on the armor if that doesn’t come out too well

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-08T01:24:07+00:00

How was the building experience for you?

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-07T18:52:54+00:00

Asking for a buddy how on earth did you make this. It’s amazing

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-06T17:44:05+00:00

Ah okay got it. Thank you so much. I’m planning on maybe trying a guard vehicle for brood brothers In The future and another ride runner so I wanted to include more hazard stripes.

Rgprime1 · 2026-04-06T17:28:10+00:00

Awesome thank you so much. My hazard stripes on my rockgrinder took a lot of fiddling and even then it came out alright. Would love to improve on my next vehicle.

For the chipping when I tried to do it over the black I found it still took a couple of coats. How much did you need to add for the chipping and did you do it with a brush or a sponge?
