47-38 Planetary Defense Force
Legionnaire Auxiliary: World Eaters
World Eaters were added to the force solely because I wanted to try out the color scheme. They fit with Word Bearers by being part of the Shadow Crusade through the 500 Worlds too.
MkIII marines, resin MkII Vet heads, plastic Necromunda Goliath arms, and resin Chainaxes. The bare arms were used to more easily carry close combat weapons as well as to copy Kharn’s style.
The color scheme was meant to be more stylized, sort of a parade dress. The white has black and brown marbling. The blue is metallic by spraying Tamiya Clear Blue over a Gunmetal Grey / Silver / Aluminum base coat. I used VMC Bronze instead of a brass as it is colder and works better with the blue.
The Rhino is supposed to signify bloody mutations starting to appear on the armor. The flayed skin effect was made by microwaving a layer of white glue on a ceramic plate. This will cause the glue to warp and harden, which can then be attached and painted as normal.
The Contemptor was a model I purchased years ago that I was going to use for my 40k Black Legion. I decided to paint it as World Eater instead so tried to draw attention away from the various Eye of Horus emblems on it. I may have gone a little overboard with the dry pigment but I’m happy with how it turned out.
