Iron Hands.... of irony

[kikkala]

@Captain Mick & RazakellXIII

Thanks :).

@Shortsonfire79

In due time, after Sternguard is finished, I'll take the army shot.

@Master Toddius

Glad you like it *bows*.

@TAS

Thanks buddy :D. Wait no longer for the next one!

For the sixth sternguard, I went for more-plates look and tried my luck with rivets. Head needs more work though.

[Shortsonfire79]

Grr...More waiting..

 

That guy looks good =-D

[Asmodeus' Swordhand]

This guy looks really promising. The thigh plates turned out great.

Your plasticard-fu is strong :tu:

 

I'm totally loving the work you've done on the IH Sternguard. Sure this makes me want to take some of your techniques and try them out myself (man, please don't start any more armies, following you on the trail of WB and IH is bad enough :lol:).

 

Although it is a bit late now, you could have had the most comprehensive guide to modelling IH ever!! Granted your techniques look easy, but man, just having a resource like that would be a big boom to future IH players!

i have to agree with you TAS.

 

if you ever want to do something like this PM me Kik and ill add what i have sort of learnt along the way to the mix.

 

Iron Hands FTW

@Shortsonfire79 & Asmodeus' Swordhand

Thanks :).

@TAS

I suppose I could update the IH tutorial then, after I get more experience with plasticard first ;).

@g-relk

I'm intrigued. I'll contact you when I'm prepared. Iron Hands FTW!! :unsure: *runs to finish up the sternguard*

6th sternguard ready for painting.

[Snozz]

Wows, looking good. I can't wait for this whole army shot. :unsure:

[kikkala]

Thanks Snozz :).

6th sternguard painted.

[captain kantor]

cool. you really like to make people with mechanic legs and arms. looks awesome! :)

[Asmodeus' Swordhand]

You are a really inspirational army builder. It looks good :lol:

[Captain Mick]

Great converted / painted again your a artist :lol:.

[Terminatorinhell]

this thread is filled to the brim with epic win!

[NemFX]

Kikkala I have a serious question to ask you.. Did a bunch of reasonably good conversionists all commit ritual suicide to make you? Is that why your so awesome? Seriously. You make me quite envious. I mean, personally I don't like the idea of chopping up my marines to make them look more awesome, but after seeing what you've done, I'm wondering if I should, because your guys look freaking sweet.

[The Angelus Sanctus]

;) i liked how between 3 posts i get to see 6th SG started and then to see in a post later 6th SG finished!

 

Nonethless, you are really churning out some fantastic minis kik. I'm personally thinking you are putting the IH models that GW released to shame!!

[Shortsonfire79]

I know for reals, I saw that too. it was like,...4 hours..

 

I still like the ice blue weapons.

@captain kantor

Thanks mate :).

@Asmodeus' Swordhand

Thanks, maybe I should revisit my older tactical squads perhaps ;).

@Captain Mick

Artist... ;) don't say that yet, I might disappoint you :D.

@Terminatorinhell

Thank you. *bows*

@NemFX

Nah, I just needed to sacrifice my soul some of my free time to actually try something new :). You would never get anywhere if you just settle on current stuff, because you can do anything if you'd just tried.

Remember also that choppin' is goood. ;)

@TAS & Shortsonfire79

I have my better days :P. Honestly, I could still learn thing or two.

Ok, let's see... errrr...

I have started with 7th sternguard. But today was super sucky day at job. Frustation is major feature in the model. Gonna start again with him. No pictures of him. So sucky sternie.

*7th sternguard flies to pieces*

Instead I have current family photo.

[captain kantor]

NICE!! -and i ONLY say this when im looking at total coolness- SHUZAUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[X-Slash-X]

If I might request, how do you Paint your Iron/Copper parts? I'm looking to do a similar colour for my own Chapter, and have been having trouble with it.

I've skimmed your thread a few times, but I have yet to find any info on how to paint like that. Would a guide be too much to ask?

[Brother Cassern]

kikkala; how DO you paint your whites? They look like they're almost glowing.. makes me kinda .. envious. :)

[kikkala]

@captain kantor

Haha, thanks mate :devil:.

@X-slash-X

I don't mind, I made a converting/painting tutorial for Iron Hands not long ago, here's a linky Click Me. You'll find metal recipe there, I hope that helps :lol:.

@Brother Cassern

Thanks mate, basically I paint white like this: basecoat with Ice Blue. Next is 4-5 layers of little water thinned white (I use VMC Foundation White), after that, little shading with Asurmen Blue, fix with white if you make mistakes.

Phew, I actually got somewhere with 7th sternguard.

I'm kinda worried right now, I don't usually have problems with converting the legs, but during last few days I've noted that I do easily mistakes, which I'd normally avoid with no prob.

Anyone encountered something similar?

[X-Slash-X]

Many thanks brother.

**gasp** what self doubt is this?

[Asmodeus' Swordhand]

aye, perhaps, but these sternguard look great. I'm really impressed with these last two.

[The Angelus Sanctus]

Perhaps ease down on the throttle somewhat kik? Although the models you are producing look fantastic, maybe you are trying to produce them too quickly, so your mind doesn't feel like it's fully achieved the desired effect?

 

Either way, 7th SG looks great :)

 

Managed to get some plasti-tube bits today from the LGS, so HOPEFULLY i'll be able to play around with some of that soon too!

[kikkala]

@X-Slash-X

Your welcome :).

@Paladin7221

I hope it's not contanious :P. Or permanent :whistling:.

@Asmodeus' Swordhand

Thanks mate.

@TAS

Maybe I should take a break for day or two, to rest my mind :P.

I'm waiting for your updates :).

7th Sternguard finish'd.

And the obligatory family photo.

3 more to go. At this point I know that I'll do the sarge last. I was wondering should I give him a power weapon? Waste of points or real life saver? Those who have experience with sternguard, please share your thoughts.

*Edit* I have been busy poster :D 300 posts, and more to come (I hope).
