BobaHat Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi all, Thought I'd share my army with you. They are the 23rd Mordian Iron Guard. I make them using Cadian torsos and legs, Catachan heads, and lots of Green Stuff. I have about 150+ troopers, and I convert every one. I hope you like them. Pic of a pre-painted Sergeant, so you can see how I make them: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mordwip.jpg Sergeant and Guardsmen:http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord1_1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord3_1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord4_1.jpg Ratling Sniper: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord2_1.jpg Deathstrike: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord6_1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord5_1.jpg Officers: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord7_1.jpg Chimera: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord8_1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord9_1.jpg Stormtroopers: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mord10_1.jpg Leman Russ Exterminator: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mor3_1.jpghttp://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mor2_1.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/mor1_1.jpg More pics to come as the army grows. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313305-bobahats-converted-mordian-iron-guard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

nismogrendel Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 So cool! I love this, the tanks look awesome and the troopers are amazing! How long do you spend per guardsmen on the conversion? I like that creed conversion a lot!

librisrouge Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I've always liked the Iron Guard. Part of me wishes GW had gone that direction. Looks great man.

SW1 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 These are truly fantastic. Really like the movement the poses give the models. Can't wait to see more!!!

Inso Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Nice work on the conversions :) May I offer a tip that may help to speed things up? Instead of sculpting the entire hat, you could punch out two discs of plastic (one small and one slightly larger) and stack them on a flattened down head, Then all you would need to deal with is a tiny bit of filling/shaping and adding the cap badge and peak. It is what I did with a commissar conversion a while back: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Stuff/Figure2_zpsdhiimycu.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d161/Inso/GW%20Stuff/Flash1_zpsz3utfkd6.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313305-bobahats-converted-mordian-iron-guard/#findComment-4164927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Great to see some Mordians, especially converted up like this! Well done Boba! :D I definitely want to see more, how many models have you done? Are you planning on adding more?

BobaHat Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys. I usually build a squad of 10 men in about two days, but this has to do with letting the first few layers of green stuff settle before continuing. I have about 150 of these guys so far, and I do indeed plan on adding many more. I will post more pics as I get them painted.

BobaHat Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 Here are the Platoon Command Squads for Red Platoon and Blue Platoon, commanded by Lieutenants Vinberg and Rohler respectively. The smaller signal flags count as Vox Casters, as I've always pictured Mordians using ridiculously ceremonial things like that rather than skulking around in the dirt with a radio. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/red.jpg http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d166/RobinHat/blue.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313305-bobahats-converted-mordian-iron-guard/#findComment-4170725 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pounder Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Great free hand on the banners and vehicles! I could only achieve that with decals or if the detail was painted on!

BobaHat Posted September 14, 2015 Author Share Posted September 14, 2015 Jud Cottrell, I never use decals. They always stand out like a sore thumb and just look... fake... I prefer painting everything myself. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/313305-bobahats-converted-mordian-iron-guard/#findComment-4171570 Share on other sites More sharing options...

our_baz Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If anyone from GW product design is lurking on this thread this is why we need more mordian models, when done correctly they are all kinds of awesome.

BobaHat Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 That's right. A Chaos Marauder Horseman head with green-stuff hair, Yarrick's body and green-stuff arms. :) And don't worry... The full army pic is soon to come, but I need to paint about 50 more before I get to the end.
