Been  while since last blog post. Recently I have been trying to give myself a few more character options even though I'm fairly happy with how my iron warriors list looked on the table top. I've seen more and more online about master of executions being a great pick and how they can stack in a unit, so I figured to make one. Ive had an old metal bile body siting for a while planning to build some form of iron warriors medic however as no option in codex i figured he can be a good base for a MOE. fluff wise im thinking this has been a apothecary turned executioner as his role evolved post heresy. this is the guy who likes to cut. be it removing tentacles for replacement or spawn gone too far or enemies... he care not. its the job. cold hard mechanical thinking . Biles cloak supports this well. His butchers apron. 

The next part was the knife had i felt just really fitted the pose.  Good for bisecting, The backpack seemed mechanical enough to suit too. id like to mayby add a servo arm at some point. The axe and head gave me problems. i tried a custom made power claw but axe and head removals was a thing that cam e up and i eventually remembered this axe from an orc warboss and think it scales well and looks like its suitable for decapitations. . Heads i couldn't decide on for ages but when i got some mechanicus sprues  the coldness of their common masked faces i think suited the character build better than the head i previously had. 

Now this is'nt finished... its sorted for the table but i do plan more. but it needs earned... As you can see Ive painted a few glyph on.  if he does well i want to add more. As he kills i want to put trophies on his base and rise him up. and i don't even know if i will purposefully use him much. Perhaps i will and i will one day have to buy the new bile and upgrade him but for now i think its pretty good for old school.  Just needs a name just so any ideas drop em!

Next up  the new chaos lord. i wasn't even planning on getting one as I've barely used the hammer lord i do have but when i saw this released i thought it was much more fitting for an iron warrior lord (yes I also picked up Cypher too and i maybe be bringing in some fallen elements in my iron warriors over time) So i picked him up recently off a dodgy website for a fantastic discount (whoop) as a Christmas present to myself.  I will likely be using all his spares for all there is on my chosen squad. 

Now the only issue i had with the stock model was the head options. Not highly iron warrior like are they. and i went through a bunch trying to find a better one as you can possiby see at his neck i decided to magnetise it, even put a magnet on the base for keeping the spare on it from being lost.  Afer an age searching though my bits boxes i found an old metal one, havoc? eye lences suited my aim but needed more... insert mechanicus top comb. think its pretty fitting for a lord

cold weather did delay my progress but i eventually got sofar. and i saw a really cool cape done on an abbaddon that inspired me to attempt the stripes on the cape which im really happy with how it went . i even feel like the positioning turned out well and suits the lord too.

so thats him pretty much complete for now. ive some base work to do and possiboly dirt but will wait ttil im doing a mass basing session. again i will see how he preogresses when he gets in game. i dont think i expect him to be highly active in my lists but is certainly a better fit for my rion warriors that the old thunder hammer lord... though he may well find a specific job on the horizon... 

anyway any C&C / ideas on names for either  or both  let me know. Cheers!
