stayeatingpaint Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Hello, I’ve recently decided to create Honsou, Forrix, and Kroeger with a display board to go along with them. I’ve finished Honsou and Forrix, while Kroger is still a WIP but ready for paint. I’ve posted these on Instagram and Reddit so if you’ve seen these already I apologize for the spam but I just recently was able to get back into my B&CS account so thought I’d share them here. I’ve also attached a scenic photograph of Honsou, Forrix, and some Iron Warriors. Hope you enjoy them.

Grotsmasha Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I know I've read the book, and I recognise the names, bit the entire plot escapes me, but that's an aside, these models are fantastic and I can't wait to see them all on the display base you have coming stayeatingpaint 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Really nice work, Forrix is imposing - though I'd maybe have gone with an unobscured face - he's usually depicted without a rebreather. stayeatingpaint 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - yeah, but I felt like none of the heads without rebreathers looked nearly as mean as this one. Besides just cuz he’s not depicted with one in the art doesn’t mean he’s never used one.

You absolutely nailed it. Nice work! Thanks! I'm hoping to bring the characters of my favorite Warhammer novel justice haha. 18 hours ago, Xenith said: Agree, the models perfect!

sockwithaticket Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 So much good stuff. You've really nailed the blood spray and the subtle purple tinting of his otherwise alabaster skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I finally got around to reading this book, and seeing these fantastic minis was part of what made me decide to go check it out. Really impressive work! I'd be interested to know more about how you made and painted these guys, and whether you have any more Iron Warriors in the works.

Gederas Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Very nice! Can we get a picture of Forrix from the back? I kind of want to do that conversion for a Forgelord for my 30k Ultramarines. Also one quibble, but: Honsou's bionic eye is his right one and it's also explicitly called out as being blue in the novels at multiple points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a real honor that my minis made you decide to read my favorite Warhammer novel, I hope you enjoyed it! Iron Warriors have always and will always be my favorite army. Having just recently got back into the hobby with quarantine early 2020, I think I'm going to focus on building models I can actually play with over display models when I'm done with the display board. I'll be kitbashing a full roster for Kill Team both the compendium team as well as the Nachmund Legionary team then work on an army for 40k as all my old models are outdated and puny looking. I do plan on creating more major characters from McNeill's Iron Warriors series in the future but that might not be for some time. I've amassed quite the backlog since starting up again so we'll see how things go. With work and school I don't have too much time to hobby so it'll probably be a while until I can start cranking out characters again. On 7/17/2022 at 6:17 AM, Gederas said: Very nice!

Here's a photo of the back Also a quote from Dead Sky Black Sun after Honsou takes a bolt to the face: "Part of his head had been pulverized by the impact of the bolt round, and the left side of his face was a burned and bloody ruin, his eye a glutinous, fused mess." honestly as for the color, I just like red better for eye lenses. It's more aggressive in my opinion.
