    World Eaters : Icons & Symbols - Final part

    Hi everyone! After two weeks off (well deserved), I'm back and I would like to share here the second and last part relative to the icons of the Legion. In the previous article we talked about the greenstuff  modelizing and  today we gonna naturaly tackle the painting. 

    Lesser characters :

    These Sergeants are honored by the classic WE Icon which one represent a bestial jaw with a planet between is fangs. I selected those renegades due to their horns, it's visually a great link between the models and the icon, it help to give a one piece effect. I also added some chains to increase the volume of the artefact.


    Greater Characters :
    The Chaplain was rewarded by a gigantic collar of Khorne might be owned in his previous life by an eminent servant of Khorne. The Capitain and the Lieutenant are protected by ancestral icons. Also a new comer ... The Librarian. Long ago, World Eaters Librarian lost many of their recording duties as scribes and all their psychic abilities. They now serve only as tally-keppers recording the numbers of slain in Khorne's name by individal and squads. The old book of this Librarian is now sealed by a powerful Skull runes
    Librarian, Lieutenant and Capitain 
    The Chaplain is supported by lesser Daemons

    The lieutenant Commander of the Legion mounted on Juggernaut is protected by colossal Khorne symbol, sign of gratitude from the Skull God for a long service for him. Additionaly the commander is flanked by the Icon bearer of the Legion, a living testimony of thousand slaugthers and synonymous of ruins.

    Massive Characters :
    The Daemon Prince was also rewarded by a colossal symbol of Khorne in his mortal life and now he ostentatiously bear it, everywhere he's summoned. And to finish, the Dreadnought is blessed by his patron with a demonic Icon which one he insolently display to haunt his foes during the battle.

    Back sides :
    From Ian Miller
    Most of the symbols back sides are inbeded by a warped corail. Not sure about the origine of this "corail" but it looks like a pure Chaos material caracterized by a permanent changing form, fearsome screaming and disgusting smelling. Only exception is the Dreadnought icon, glorified  by a living red demon captive inside the symbol.

    2. Stunning work as always Nico! I really enjoy those little non-standard touches like the added powerfists on the sergeants and the cables that tie all the details together. Wonderful!

      1. Hey Axiom! Thank you, agree with you those details cost nothing for me and greatly help to integrate new parts on miniatures.

    3. À chaque fois je te dis "waow Nico, là vraiment c'est le top du top". Mais en fait à chaque fois tu repousses le truc. C'est du délire. Les bannières/icônes sont vraiment terrifiantes et malsaines tout en étant bien Oldhammer. Du grand Nico !! Quand est-ce que tu m'en fait pour mes Emperor's Children diiiiiiiiis ????
      Bravo à toi !! Tu es le meilleur !

      1. Hello Laurent! Ha ha merci beaucoup c'est très gentil de ta part. Je vais me pencher sur les icones de Slaanesh, j'avoue les avoir un peu occulté lors de mes relectures de Slave to Darkness. Dans tous les cas, j'ai un petit présent qui t'attend déjà pour notre futur rencontre :) ;)

    8. Géniaux...ces icones sont tout simplement géniaux, mais quel beau boulot ! Ca donne vraiment envie de Greenstuffer. Les yeux noirs et vides inspirent à fond la possession et la bestialité.

      1. Merci Julien, J'ai appliqué du vernis brillant sur les yeux noir, ainsi ils paraissent complétement démoniaques!

    9. P'tain j'avais loupé la mise à jour! C'est vraiment absolument excellent, j'adore.
      Tout est super mais je suis particulièrement fan de l'archiviste qui trimbale son livre scellé par Khorne!

      1. Merci Charles, L'archiviste c'est une pièce non prévue à la l'origine, c'est juste que j'avais mal au coeur de ne pas avoir utilisé ce Champion à la fin du projet.
        Du coup, avec qques bits je lui ai trouvé une place dans la légion :)
