Iron-Daemon Forge Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Hi everone Well after finish my Daemon project (though there still some detail to finish off & then varnish) I've went right into another two project.... one being xeno's, the other being Iron Hands. The aim for Iron Hands are 1: Make them ready for a tournament in 2009 ether being 40k Radio, Rapid Fire or Rompa Stompa, 2: Take part in the GW Iron Halo event, so now a good time to get my Iron Hands made & fully painted fitting them in a deadline by the end of Jan to be fully painted & to be 1750pts, so far my list is only 1500pts. I alway work from a army list so I am not weaste money & parts. Finial bit is, this will be the third time I've collected Iron Hands, there my second favrout army (Iron Warriors being No1 for me :P ) with my painting improve & having try out ton of new conversion skill/skill I learnt from my NQ/HNC/HND model making course Anyway here what I have so far My Iron Father (Count as Vulkan) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04146.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04147.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04148.jpg My Iron Father has had a bit more paint on him since the photo was taken. I'm still trying to find my old Iron Hands background to give the Iron Father a name. Here my first have of Tacticl squad 5 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04143.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04141.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04142.jpg Also my Clan's marking. The red just merely to have some other colour in there & could alway rep the great bound between Mar's/the Techpriest. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04145.jpg The models that have been painted so far are still very WIP & a fair bit of tide need to be done to some area's. Also since those photos where taken another two Space Marines trooper have been made along with the Veteran Sarg for the unit. I hope to get the other two trooper built by tonight. So what thing can you look forward to in this project log...... lots Rhino's - If any you lot seen my Iron Warriors Rhinos. Be much the same with Plasticard Extra Armour, try to get a Iron Hands icon on the top hatch of the Rhinos. Land Raider Redeemer - See what I can do Tacticl squad - The second unit of 10 Space Marines will be the same as the above with ton's of cool Bionics :D Scouts - I'll be useing the Scout Biker head that you get, the once with the gas mask & the other one with bionic eyes Termies with Thunder Hammer & Storm Sheild - I would like these guy's to be sort of like the morlock Terminators from the Heresy days just to honour them. So have a lot cool conversion idea, along with ton's of bionics :D Dreadnought's - It would not be a IH force with out some Dreadnoughts :P See what I can come up with. I'll try to get a update when I get time, hopeful on Tue if I can. IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155931-ip-iron-hands-log/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

g-relk Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 wow, a lot of iron hands threads popping up lately, which is nice to see. tip with photos: see if your camera has a macro setting. this is usually indicated by a flower device, put it on to take some nicer close ups, as the photos are a tad on the blurry side. if you want inspiration for your dread, then have a look for some of Banus's stuff, or in my wip thread (which will be updated with the work on my last dread soon). my wip kikkala also has a really good thread going for some more inspiration. look forward to more updatres, as your current marines are looking great :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155931-ip-iron-hands-log/#findComment-1821839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Well time for a little update B) Real life been taken over so not a lot work been done over the past week. But here what I have done so far. 8/10 of my Tactial Marines (just a trooper & a Melta gun trooper left to do) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04162.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04163.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04164.jpg I'm hopeing to paint some these Iron Hands on Fri night with out with out the Metla shoulder pads (friend give me some spare IH pads ;) ) Also some my Iron Hands Termies who are (background wise) honour the memories of the Morlock Terminators from the Heresy book Fulgrim. Also sorry if the photos are a bit poor will try take some better once in the future/next update. On that note I only have three out of the 5 built so far http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04165.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04166.jpg Close up of the Bionic legs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04167.jpg I've use Chaos Warriors sheilds as I preffer them over the Storm Sheild you get. My plans just to paint some Iron Hands icon on or just make them from plasticard/styrene. I have also use the T face Bezerker heads as there just cool. However I feel like my models are missing somthing, but alway seem to be in general when I make Terminators I alway have a feel like there a big part of the conversion missing but I can't quite place it. So any futher idea would be great to fit with the Iron Hands army?? Finial my Iron Father with a bit more paint. There a few changies needed to be done, but when I get time I will proper get the Iron Father finish & looking cool http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04168.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04169.jpg Finial a perview into the next thing for my Iron Hands. Yep Land Raider, this will not be in my usely 1500pts, but Iron Halo event my local GW aim to make a 1750pts 40k army. So Land Raider that I had for over a year, fit right that home :D I've undrecaoted the inside just so I can get some painting done before full building the kit. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04170.jpg So what to exspext when real life slow down a bit so I can paint & build - Another 10 man Tactical squad - 2 Rhinos - Land Raider Redeemer - squad of 5 Scouts. Then the future plans (after the above) - Possible another 10 man squad - 7 Drop Pods - Another two Dreadnoughts - Techmarine/Forge Father Just so I can finial get that all out Drop Pod force done, which I've been waiting since 2005 to get my hands on plastic Drop Pods. g-relk: Sorry about photos being blurry. Will try get better once posted in the future. Also thanks for the link, your Iron Hands force look pretty cool. Seems that December has been a made Iron Hands rush The Angelus Sanctus: It because Iron Hands are the cool people army ;) :P Ton of Bionics, take no rubbish from anyone, show no weakness. Have some nice Dreadnoughts & we have Iron Father instead of Chaplain. Also who need a chapter master when you got a counsil (sp?) from each chapter from Librarian, Venrable Dreadnoughts, Iron Fathers. None of the "by the book" like the Ultramarines :P But in honsty, Iron Hands are a cool army, nice conversion. Also being Black Power Armour easy to paint of course :D Just a shame we can not take a Venrable Dreadnought as HQ any more. Think of the really cool conversion just make him a bit specil (just dose not feel same having them as Elites & taken ton more). I should be aim update this hopeful by the end of the week, where hopeful the Land Raider above will be a bit more built. I should also have my 10 man squad fully built with some paint, then start on my other 10 man squad :D Now to quickly paint the Land Raider parts then finish building tomorrow night. IP Edit: Look like my Iron Hands first tournament will be Conflict Scotland, so anyone from Scotland attending my see my IH there Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155931-ip-iron-hands-log/#findComment-1825540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Another quick update. Note: Sorry for the photos just took them a few min ago. Will try get better once done later in the week during the day & when I am not tired. Mange to pick up a Dreadnought today that my local GW along with a combat squad of Marines, so exspect my next ten man squad hopeful by the ned of next week :D But today I been trying some conversion for my Dreadnought, mainly making him a bit bigger & scary, but I am unsure.... what dose everone else think of the legs The new converted legs next to some old Dreadnought legs (back up in the event this gose all mess up). http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04179.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04180.jpg Back of the dreadnought legs showing you lot the plastic rod with the metal wire inside http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04181.jpg I've went for a running style as when I had it pose like the normal Dreadnought legs from the kit... just did not look right. Top part of the Dreadnought on top to give you lot a better idea http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04182.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04183.jpg So what dose everone think, dose this look alright with the legs??? As said when I had the longer leg pose like that from the Dreadnought kit just did not look right. Also while here, any idea for putting a Dead/wounded Space Marine inside the Dreadnought. Just though it be cool to have & be great way to show Tank Destroyed. I have still to convert up a arm should the running style/longer Dread legs ne ok for the finish model. But again what do people think??? Also with a little free time (barely had much right now) I've mange to get some paints onto my Tactical squad. Really want to spend a day paint/finish the squad but real life busy as ever ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04184.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04185.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04186.jpg So yes still a lot work to get done :lol: Also a Termie I just started work on to try get some idea down for the rest of the squad. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04188.jpg Lone Scout, just wanted to try the end of a Kroot gun to make the Sniper Rfile look cooler, while the head from the Scout Biker heads http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04190.jpg Finial my Land Raider been put together since the last update, still got a fair bit of work to get done on the model http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04191.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04192.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04193.jpg I'll try to get better photos end of the week & hopeful have a bit more work done, should have my second Tactical squad built soon.

As said just was unsure on the dreadnought legs, but if I can get some time to convert the Dreadnought arm tomorrow should maybe help me a bit more.

Spiny Norman Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 An chance of some better pics of the back of the dreadnought legs?

Captain Idaho Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 You know what little touch that goes a long way for me and really turns the army into a lovely piece, is the eyes of the Marines themselves. They fit perfectly with army theme, really giving us the idea that there is more machine than appears etc. Really nice job bud!

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'll try get some better photos on Wed if I got some spare time :P Hopeful by then have some Marines from Tactical squad No2 built :D & rest my Termies all finish off. That's a very nice conversion and I'd like a better look at how you have done it please! The back of the Dreadnought leg just some plastic-rod/tube that has a metal wire inside (great for pinning :D & what I use for some my bionic bits for the normal Marines). However it look like those Legs I converted will not be use after all. But don't worry I will still take photos (not blurry :P ) for everone to look that. Just somthing about the converted legs that did not sit right with me. However after a bit of searching, I finial find the parts I want to make my Dreadnoughts which is basicly parts from a Witch Hunters Penitent Engine. So I will be useing the Legs along with the arm's from the model. Just has a more Iron Hands feel for me to be honsty & when it come to conversion I alway have a set way in which I wish somthing to look right & cool. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1090153 So hope to pick a box up on Tue in GW, then toy around with the dreadnought above to see what I can get done.

Sevano Tomasin Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Very nice looking IH army here. I like your Vulkan captain, a nice idea - I hadn't thought about using Vulkan for a character... I like your scout conversion - but where is the head from? I looked in all my old scout biker bits and can't find it. Is it from the new kit? Eitherway, its a nice head. The kroot gun muzzle looks good, but in my opinion it looks slightly over sized or too long - but, that could be because my monitor is stuck in wide-screen mode... I think the dreadnought leg conversion is good, but I laughed when I first saw because "Staying alive" started playing on the radio.... It looks great :) Can I ask what size the pipes and wire for your bionics are? And, how the hell did you get so many AdMEch shoulder pads? Anyone have idea for Dead Space Marines inside a Dreadnought?? - If you're looking for dead and decomposing bodies or skeletons, try the undead/tomb kings/vampire counts armies. Alternativly, WestWind productions have some great "dead people".

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 ServanoTomasin: Thanks I like your Vulkan captain, a nice idea - I hadn't thought about using Vulkan for a character... One my friend e-mail me (after I made my Vulkan & before he knew I made it lol) with a great conversion idea he had (hope he dose not mind me share it) being your normal Techmarine but.... - The Flame glove was to use a Servo Arm with double flamers - To rep his Inv save was clear/see through plastic & have the edge painted to show a glow of energy - Relic weapon just a big style Techmarine axe. I'll need to check the rest of the e-mail but really sounded cool I like your scout conversion - but where is the head from? I looked in all my old scout biker bits and can't find it. The head from the new Scout Biker's you also get a nice bionic head. Can I ask what size the pipes and wire for your bionics are? I think they might be 1mm, not complete sure to be honsty as the place where I buy them don't really stock there plasticard/rods that well (having done model making course & having to use the place from time to time, spending a hour looking for just a pack of Micro/Plastic-strip). I'll check out tomorrow as I need to pick up some for my Second Tactical squad. But there not that big. And, how the hell did you get so many AdMEch shoulder pads? There this (only half the amount of my bit box's, rest are under my gaming table) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/New%20IW/DSC03327.jpg There my two Old Iron Hands armies that I tooken apart for bits (only once with metal part like the heads, pads, etc....). Then there a lot of friends bot boxies I tend to go through. - If you're looking for dead and decomposing bodies or skeletons, try the undead/tomb kings/vampire counts armies. Alternativly, WestWind productions have some great "dead people". Was thinking of just Marines who body been shreded, in the past I try some of the Matrine bodies with the bare head & have them all wire up. While I also try out the Zombies part, but Zombies did not meet to what I was aim for.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 A little update on my Iron Hands :P First 10 Marine unit is near done. Will try get photos once they been varnish & tide up a bit. While army wise, it will no longer be a Mech force due to being to much like my Iron Warriors but a Imperial version. So now chosen to make my army a all out Drop Pod list as it still vehicle heavy :D & it a new style of play for me. So as well as plastic Marine drop pods, I will be making my Dreadnought pods from scratch. The army will also now be led by a Master of Forge, got some idea on how I want to convert him, just need the time to look through my bits box & see what I can find. Also the army will see a fair few more Dreadnought. On the photos front. Second unit of 10 Marines has just started work & aim to get the rest of the squad finish today & hopeful base, ready for undercaoting tomorrow. So try get photos once there all built up. But here a perview of the squad, well the Missile Launcher trooper from the unit http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04212.jpg Then here two of the seven drop pods that will be in my 1500pts force. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04223.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04224.jpg There just out of the box models, though will add a bit of battle damnge. I'll also add on a base for the model just to look cool, fit with the rest the army & just when I make my scratch built once make life easy for them. So see what I can do for these base :D Finial the Dreadnought. Not much has happen to him over the pass fwe days as my order for the Penitent Engine has been dely :( But I have found a pack of Iron Hands icon from Forge World in my bits box http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04225.jpg I'll be useing a lot of the icon on my Dreadnought. I'll try get some photos of the finish unit as well as the second unit before they get undercaoted tomorrow. Also have a search about for bits for the master of forge & take some photos to show people.

Iron-Daemon Forge Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 Update time With real life stuff settle down a bit I am able to spend a little more time painting & building :pinch: Though due to money project move slow. As for update, first one is the Dreadnought. For a while I wanted to aim for my dreadnought to look cool, a while back my friend Maffy (move to England) came up with some nice conversion for his Dreadnought for his GT force. So the Dreadnought been inspired by him Here some photos, he just been painted a mere few min before the photo where taken, but still a lot work ahead of me to finish him off http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04253.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04254.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04255.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04256.jpg Also the size of the Dreadnought compaired to a Space Marine trooper. Also those who worry about true line of sight. This in fact give me a dis-advantage (sp?) in games But end of the day for me it about cool conversion first http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04257.jpg Also a WIP version photo that was taken last night http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04248.jpg Also here one of my seven Drop Pods which I been painting on & off from last night & most part of today. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04258.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04259.jpg Drop Pods two out of seven. Still need a water down chaos black on top to make it a little bit darker comapired to the black spray paint http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04260.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04261.jpg Then here some photos of my Drop Pods with there squads of Space Marines http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04262.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04263.jpg As my Iron Hands force currently stand http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04264.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04265.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04266.jpg I've got a thrid Drop Pod which will be use for my Dreadnought. I am going to buy the plastic Drop Pods now as I do not have the time to scratch built my own & also just with a lot people seem to pick up models with out asking = a fair few damnge models. Plastic Drop Pods are nice & solid. I should pick up my fourth out of seven Pods next week. I'll also have my Dreadnought & both drop pods finish by next week as well IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155931-ip-iron-hands-log/#findComment-1846951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kek Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Absolute sweet conversion on the dreadnaught :) Who cares about LoS when a model looks that good :yes: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155931-ip-iron-hands-log/#findComment-1847245 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Thanks Kek :tu: Also another little update. As some you will notice, my tactical squads have so far only have 8 models. Finial got time to make the Veteran Sarg & also though be cool to use Squad Leader/Veteran (those from 2nd Ed days will rememeber :tu: ). So show these in my army I will be painting my Iron Hansd vets/Sarg with White Helmets just to stand out a bit & also in the event of useing combat units or say in smaller games I can not take my Power Weapon sarg, etc... This is one of two Veteran/Squad leader with in the Tactical squads http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04267.jpg The other one still being painted. While here one of my two Veteran Sarg, I am useing Thunder Hammer, but since Tactial squads can not take them they will "count as" power weapon. ment to be in honour of Forge Breaker that Ferrus Manus had. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04269.jpg Also here one of five Drop Pods that will be for my Dreadnoughts. Not really done much other than out the box & not adding the inner parts http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04270.jpg Then here my Master of Forge almost done, just a few detail to tide up & of course try to get me some Iron Hands shoulder pads from a few my friends :P http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/Iron%20Hands/DSC04271.jpg IP Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/155931-ip-iron-hands-log/#findComment-1848199 Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulson games Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I like this stuff a lot and will likely be borrowing some of the bionic ideas for some mechanicus marines. My only small critique is the setinel legs on the dreanought, from the side view it looks awesome, but from the front it looks a bith spindely and thin while the body is very bulky. I'd suggest bulking out the legs, maybe use the dread's shin pads to help the legs look wider/beefier. Ed-209 from robo cop has chicken walker style legs that are quite beefy, and almost smack dead on with what bulked out sentinel legs would look like. Otherwise amazing conversion work.

Sons of Horus Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 amazing stuff! great painting, very clean and smooth work. the dread has a unique pose unlike other dreads i've seen. i like the storm shields and the Mk.III helmets.
