Tips
Hints for this army
1
The red Khorne Red is more dark and less saturé that Mephiston Red — C'is intentionnel, the Word Bearers ont a red of dévôtion sinistre
2
The montée Wazdakka Red → Squig orange is bright on the arêtes — Cela crée a contraste fort with the deepshade Abaddon Black into the recesses
3
The lentilles green (Sotek Green) are a choix inhabituel by rapport aux lentilles red of autres legions — They tranchent well on the red dark
4
The inscriptions and textes sacrés are often painted en white or crème on the knees and the épaulières — Use Corax White thinned for the hiéroglyphes
