I don't have my codex with me, but I did my WB's a base coat of scab red with blood red highlights & boltgun trim, offset by blue power weapons, looks pretty decent. the old codex said they did the scheme using a scab red base followed by majenta ink, not particularly useful now, with the inks discontinued, but it could help out.

Here's my last Word Bearer mini:

The armour is indeed Scab Red (followed by a coat of red inkt) and with very subtle highlights using watered down bubonic brown. The yellowish brown really helps to add depth to the otherwise rather dull red armour.

@ Big Red - love those old school Word Bearers!

That's really nice! You may have just inspired me to attempt a few more of my undercoated Word Bearers.
