Dhomochevsky Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi guys...after a "lurking" period on this board, I've finally decided to start posting a couple of units of my always-work-in-progress Iron Warriors' army... I wanted to apply a tabletop nmm to the whole army...even if this is one of my first attempt with this technique... The general idea is that the army should "look well" on the table... I'm not interested in painting competition... By the way, here it is my work so far... :) (Be merciful... :( ) Iron Warriors Squad: http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/3223/p1000093gk6.th.jpg http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/9531/p1000096am4.th.jpg http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/5110/p1000098ey1.th.jpg Iron Warriors Terminator Squad: http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/4484/p1000099va1.th.jpg http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/34/p1000100hm1.th.jpg Iron Warriors Obliterator Cult: http://img176.imageshack.us/img176/4558/p1000101il6.th.jpg http://img367.imageshack.us/img367/8236/p1000102fk5.th.jpg Comments, suggestions and critics are very welcome... ;) And, last but not least... Sorry for my English guys... B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146547-iron-warriors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa_ritchie Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hi Dhomochevsky. I think these are looking good so far. The nmm looks sharp and i'm sure they'll look good together on the table top. Nice to see some metal terminators. Have their weapons all been converted to combi plasmas? Do you have some more pictures of those? Medusa Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146547-iron-warriors/#findComment-1699989 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother SRM Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 "You know you're an Iron Warrior when you've got caution stripes on your caution stripes!" Really nice work, and I'm a huge fan of caution stripes all around! The NMM is subtle enough to not look over the top, but looks really good so far! What's planned next?

Metal Fingered Villain Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Hey, these models would look good on the tabletop its true, but I would try and water down your paints a bit, and really shade your models, the silver and gold should have some really dark darks blended into the lighter shades. They are looking good, I would just advise on some more blends, some contrast and maybe tone down the large white highlights a bit.

They are looking good, I would just advise on some more blends, some contrast and maybe tone down the large white highlights a bit. yep i agree...they look really awesome...esp the armor. but i would try for a smoother transition from the white to gold...or better yet make the white a bit yellowish since gold doesnt really reflect white...

Dhomochevsky Posted September 20, 2008 Author Share Posted September 20, 2008 First of all, thank to everybody ^_^ @medusa_ritchie: Yep, they're all been converted to combi-plasmas... I used 2 Berzerker's plasma pistols and 1 lealist pp...it's a very simple cut&past work, with a bit of green stuff to fill the holes... Unfotunately, at the moment I don't have any pic of the details...but as soon as possible I'll make some... @WarInHeaven: Here too it's a very simple method: black undercoat, snakebite leather stripes at regular distance, highliting with bubonic brown ;) @BrotherSRM: next up... 10 men Lascannon Squad! :) @Metal Fingered Villain & Antman667: Thanks mates for the advice... I'll surely try to water down the paint in the works to come... (It's one of my biggest problems since i've started painting... I never water down ENOUGH... :( )...

Sons of Horus Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 my only comment would be that your painting is too light. you should make the colours darker especially the gray parts. other than that they are nice.

FerrumIgnatus Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Outstanding paintjob! but I do have one question, though... have you actually PAINTED the shadows of the mini ON the bases?

lord_bunny Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 They look great! It was a rather insane idea to paint an all metallic army in nnm but its working great! I'd hate to think of you doing tanks though... :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146547-iron-warriors/#findComment-1701581 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelfire Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Nice! I like the vivid, almost cel-shaded style. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146547-iron-warriors/#findComment-1702462 Share on other sites More sharing options...
