Vandael Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Heya all, Just turning my BL in IW and they need some leaders. Just finished converting my warsmith. Most likley I will be using the rules of Huron for him because we can't use the servo arms. Here are some pictures before I slap some paint on him. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Vandael/WSWIP.jpg What do you folks think of him? Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151471-vandaels-iron-warrior-blog/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i'm on the fence about the chainfist arm attached to the backpack, but I think that plasma cannon looking arm bit is quite ace.

chaplainmikey Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm afraid i don't particualrly like the chainfist arm,it's a good idea,but i wouldn't use the entire terminator arm as its too bulky. The rest is brilliant though,especially the weapons!

Askren Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I agree. Chop together a servo arm for that chainfist, and it will look a lot better. Also, I'm not sold on the hip-cloth things. They seem to be too ridid, yet flying upwards on their own. You can probably do without them. Nice model otherwise.

stinkenheim Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I like the idea behind the chainfist servo arm but do agree it is too chunky to use as is, maybe mounting it on a normal servo arm would help. My main gripe though, is that the model is too tall. The waist doesn't seem right, almost looks as if he is wearing two belts aswell. Not sure if its just the angle of the shot but it does look to me like you need to lose a bit off of the bottom half of the model so as the marine torsos belt is where the chaos warriors belt i at the moment. I love the weapons though, if i wasn't such a loyalist i might think about copying that. keep up the ood work, and soz if i sounded really critical. andy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151471-vandaels-iron-warrior-blog/#findComment-1762439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varney Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The maw-arm is just wonderful. I also have to say the chainfist servo-arm is a nice idea as well, but it would do better with more... servos, rather than a whole Terminator arm.

Sons of Horus Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 nice daemon head arm. i like the over all effect of making it look like a tech marine.

Vandael Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Heya folks, Thanks for the c&c it has been very usefull. The weapons so far: The deamonmaw is originally from the last metal termylord. The spear are various components. Arm: CSM banner arm Front: old deamonhead weapon assasoiry & chaos warrior sword Back: CSM termy sorcerer forceweapon with an bezerker weapon ponytale. On the account of the skirt, I know less is more! I couldn't stop adding more and more (spikey)bits. In the end I think it will work fine. ATM it looks like it's flapping in the wind wich suggest movement. Something that I found quit difficult to create with my other Doghouse gothic pattern CSM. ATM I'm throwing paint on the old lad & I will keep this post updated. I'll reconsider the arm yet when he's finished.

Vandael Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 Update: Back again with news. I've done a basepaint on my Warsmith & have taken a thought on the chainfist and....... I'm working on a DIY servo to replace it. The servo arm is BIGGER than the chainfist but has a more deamontech (and servo) feel over it. Psychoservo I've used a deamonmaw heavyweaponhead & attached 3 chainswords on it for the claw. For the servoarm I'm using a city of death lamppost with guitarwire & bits attached to it. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Vandael/WSwithClaw.jpg What do you guys think? Laterssss.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I like the new servo arm. Definitely daemonic looking and still works well with the general IW background, well done ;) Looking forward to seeing it attached to the mini :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151471-vandaels-iron-warrior-blog/#findComment-1765368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandael Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Here's a pic with the new psycho-deamonicservo attached to it. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Vandael/WSwithClaw-1.jpg I'm quite happy with the result. The chainfist did looked bulky but didn't have the right feel about it. Creating the claw took me almost as much time as I spent on the entire model. The claw is about three times bigger but I think it seems to work much better.

stinkenheim Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 awesome new servo arm dude... might 'borrow' that at some stage, and by borrow i mean rip off totally :) great looking conversion andy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151471-vandaels-iron-warrior-blog/#findComment-1766269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 now that looks awesome, can i borrow the servo arm idea? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151471-vandaels-iron-warrior-blog/#findComment-1766313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Angelus Sanctus Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 The new Servo Arm works, although it does look a bit on the large side, given that it's an IW Warsmith whose probably been around for several thousand years, i can imagine he's been progressively upgrading his gear. Nonetheless, the arm looks great ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151471-vandaels-iron-warrior-blog/#findComment-1766589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandael Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Heya folks, Thanks for the c&c, and of course any (and all) ideas are there for the taking. Glad to see I inspire fellow chaos generals. When the model is further in development I'll post another pic. ATM the photo is a bit grainy so a better pic when painted will give an better insight in wich parts are used. Cheers!

Vandael Posted November 11, 2008 Author Share Posted November 11, 2008 Hello again, Just been caught up in a lot of real life stuff so I hadn't had the chance to really, really put my back in to it. But here is an update of my converted warsmith with the claw painted. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Vandael/WSwithClaw5.jpg ATM I've done some work to his body as well, but paining those hazardstripes is tedious as poo. I'm considering to give him a more senic base to make him stand out. But first I'll concetrate in finishing the work at hand. The warsmith is not alone, oh no. His warband is expanding as well & I'll be posting some WIP of my Iron Warrior army soon. So much work, so little time. OMG I love this hobby.

The Angelus Sanctus Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Those hazard strips may have been a pain to paint, but the effect looks great, well done :lol: That is definitely one mean looking servo arm!

Vandael Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Heya all, It has been a while since the last update but i didn't had anything to show for yet... As this is going to be an ongoing project I've decided to make this my Iron Warrior Blog. Currenty no name, or fluff just models. Converting my army isn't as easy as I thought it would be and a lot more time-consuming. Here is my warsmith at 95% finished. I still have to do some fine highlighting & adding blood 'n gore but don't dare to touch that with a 10 ft pole untill my skills are better. I suck at eyes and I really want to do this bloke well. Picture is better quality as promised. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Vandael/WSwithClaw5-1.jpg Here is my 1st squad at tabletop quality. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Vandael/Squad1.jpg In order to build my army faster I'm doing basic colours first. After that my intention is to inkt & highlight each squad step by step. Rather have a complete finished army in basic than one or two squads painted & the rest in primer. Hope you enjoy C&C welcome as ever. Cheers! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151471-vandaels-iron-warrior-blog/#findComment-1781959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandael Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Quick update, Using the free terminator model that came with the WD a couple of months ago I've tried the new Doghouse truescale.
