Games Workshop Citadel - Base: Gal Vorbak Red (12ml)

Product Information

Firstly, I want to prime everything with Citadel Spray Wraithbone, but to ensure I get the right colour and finish, I’ll then paint everything again with Wraithbone from the pot, which I’ll also need to tidy up any mistakes. Here are five paints from Citadel Colours that can be used to complement Gal Vorbak Red and create a wide range of effects: Lorgar himself had been raised as a Priest of the Covenant on the world of Colchis, an arid planet deeply steeped in religion and old gods. The Aurelian had risen to be a ruler of the world, and worshipped as divine by his people – yet he dreamed of the return of a golden “ onegod ”, which he prophesied would one day come to pass. When the Emperor arrived on Colchis with Magnus the Red, Lorgar knew his time had come, and his faith had been rewarded. If a world refused to accept the secular Imperial Truth, the Imperial Heralds would be responsible for tearing down their idols, burning their sacred texts, and purging incorrect thought from the subjugated populace. It may be their close involvement with the wychery and warpcraft practiced on these doomed worlds that helped hasten the fall of the Word Bearers; we will never truly know. The Emperor could not allow this to continue, and took His son Guilliman to chastise Lorgar for these foolish beliefs. In the Censure, Monarchia was levelled by the XIII Legion, and the populace reduced to ash. Lorgar and his Legion were forced to kneel before Guilliman and the Emperor, and accept that their belief was wrong, and the Emperor was no god.

Argel Tal - Known as the Crimson Lord, Argel Tal was the favoured son of Lorgar, and served as the de facto commander of the Gal Vorbak. Even since the days of the Horus Heresy, Gal Vorbak augmented their wargear with spikes and blades for use in close combat. [7] Notable Members

I think a squad of ten of these can find their way into any Word Bearers army – and their models are outstanding on top of that. However, if you think about it, drop enough Gal Vorbak in, and you won’t need to worry about scoring… Time to grunge this thing up. I need it to look gross, so I slather the thing in Agrax Earthshade, making sure to hit the copper parts harder. I need the whole thing to look absolutely filthy.

Dry brushing again with a brighter metallic, Runefang Steel in my case, focusing on hitting the edges of everything. Gal Vorbak Red is a warm, saturated colour that has a fiery intensity, like a red-hot ember glowing with heat. The paint is well-pigmented, easy to apply, and produces a smooth, even finish. Fellblade ( Glaive) • Falchion • Shadowsword • Stormblade • Mastodon • Capitol Imperialis • Leviathan At this point, I attached both arms to the main body. This would make it easier to paint the weapons. Lorgar unfortunately has a poor reputation amongst his brother Primarchs – he is usually thought of as the runt of the litter, and not someone who is going to stand toe to toe with any of his peers.

The Gal Vorbak were originally the 1,000 Space Marines of the Serrated Sun Chapter of the Word Bearers led by their Chapter Master Argel Tal, often referred to as the "Crimson Lord". Their Power Armour was painted red (later called "Traitor's Red" during the Heresy) as opposed to the standard pre-Heresy Word Bearer colour scheme of grey, which differentiated them from the rest of the Legion, but would in time be adopted by the rest of the XVII th Legion during the Horus Heresy to display their new allegiance to the Chaos Gods.
