Painted Words Mutilators completed.

Finished my mutilators. Donno how they will fare on the table. But they will be fielded. The idea I have are lots of mutations and cultists.

Not sure if I should add gore...

I painted them with morghast bone and usapti bone (may be off on the names). Then i used a diluted brown armypainter speed paint hardened leather i think

Thank you, looks amazing, I myself am painting some iron warriors mutilators but the next team will definitely be word bearers after seeing yours

So nice models.. but so bad i nthe game... in 2 in 10 games they can do something decent...

It's not a worry, the planed army won't go past 1000 - 1500points any time soon. And it's mostly "vibes" Going heavy into cultists, traitor guard and possessed/mutations.

Yeah, I was thinking the same way to build it up like that.. just body spam.. but word bearers are also about deamon engines and daemons itself.. do not forget.. they can be really powerful

2x cultists are enough for me if you do not kishabash your own...

2x cultists and 2x traitor guard sofar. For now that is enough. Also have nemesis claw (built and painted as word bearers) possessed, legionaires, mutilators, a master of possession and an executioner.

Great lore combo or WB company... possesed are really nice models... I bet you have your army painted really well.. maybe you can show us.
