hairojin Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm starting an Iron Warriors army and to keep myself motivated I'll post my progress here. I also have a tzeentch-khorne daemon force that I'm working on simultaniously and might post some pics of it as well. My goal is to be able to play an apocalypse game with my armies this summer, to keep me motivated I have made a promise to myself that I can build a brass scorpion when my two armies are finished. I love everything about walkers and building a brass scorpion is a huge motivator for me. :lol: My 1750 IW list will be as follows: Daemon prince, wings, doombolt 5 Terminators, h flamer, c flamer, 2 c meltas, 2 fists, IoCG 10 CSM, fist, 2 flamers, IoCG, rhino 10 CSM, psword, 2 meltas, IoCG, rhino 8 Berzerkers, fist, icon, rhino 7 Plague marines, 2 plasmaguns, rhino Defiler, 2 CCW Vindicator, daemonic possession 2 Obliterators For 2000 points I'll add in a Land Raider and warptime on the prince So far I've got the renegade strike force and a box of berzerkers. For those of you that don't know, the renegade strike force includes a termie lord, 5 termies, 20 CSM, 2 rhinos, a defiler, a vindicator and a land raider. I'll start of with showing my converted 2CCW defiler: http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/hairojin/defiler.jpg And here's a berzerker that I tested out the color-scheme on. I think it looks good and will probably stick with it. http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/hairojin/berzerker.jpg I'll post some more pics as i progress.

minigun762 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I like the Defiler conversion, simple but effective I feel. The paint scheme is pretty cool actually, its more of a "stone" feel then the normal metallic you see, but still works just fine. As for the army, it looks pretty balanced (the Strike Force is a great buy I think) but I'd switch the Champions in the CSM squad, to give you a anti-big thing squad and anti-little thing squad.

Sons of Horus Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 i really like the defiler conversion. the berzerker however doesn't seem to fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairojin Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Thanks for the kind words :) I think my camera distorts the colors a little, in reality the berzerker looks more metallic. I wanted to show that my berzerkers and plague marines are IW that has developed a deep relationship with their god, thus keeping most of the original IW colors. Because of that my PM will be painted really rusty instead of the usual rotten colors. Here's their still WIP rhino to start with: http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/hairojin/PMR_left.jpg http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/hairojin/PMR_right.jpg http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/hairojin/PMR_back.jpg Hmm, the rust looks more realistic IRL :P And here's some daemons: http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/hairojin/horrors.jpg http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/hairojin/Tzeentch_DP.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Chaos_Brute Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Nice DP. Looks more 1K sons than IW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairojin Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yes, sorry maybe I wasn't clear about that, he's a part of my tzeentch-khorne daemon force, not my IW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctor_wu Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 The rhino looks good. I like it quite a bit. I am not quite sure how common berserkers would come form iron warriors. Seige does not seem to really be a tacit to be trained form the blood god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 wow, how the heck did you make that bird demon prince? I'd love to have a guy like that seeing as I've started a tzeentch Tsons army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Actually, berserkers are the perfect unit for storming the breach of said siege. There are always plenty of old warriors treading down the path of khorne one way or another. They fight all the time so it would hard not to.

Zealot Of Chaos Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Actually, berserkers are the perfect unit for storming the breach of said siege. There are always plenty of old warriors treading down the path of khorne one way or another. They fight all the time so it would hard not to. I agree, once a viable breach had been established who would you rather your forlorn hope was, a bunch of blood crazed psychopaths whose only primary goals are to kill everything in sight never taking a step back, or basic foot slogging troops who will lose morale and flee if the going gets tough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreachon Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 This is even mentioned in the IW background for the duration of the storming the IW will have the same cold-blooded killing frenzy as the WE or BA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 ...and in the Novel "Storm of Iron",Captain Kroeger(sp?) leads a unit of Bezerkers during the assault on the Airfield of Hydra Cordatus :huh: Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons of Horus Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 i like the DP a lot :P simple yet effective. lovely rhino as well but the cuts are too evenly spread out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercer Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I would remove the plague marines, IW's don't really tend to take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightygoose Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 hmm. i see daemons, i see mark of nurgle, not so sure on those but the IW + khorne head is how i do my IW beserkers except i use normal IW torsos.... plus points there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairojin Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thanks for all the comments :angry: I haven't had much time lately, been busy with fulltime school, part time work, training and spending time with my wife. It's hard balancing all those things and still get some models painted. But I find this thread help. Today I got some FW stuff and put together my Land Raider. i also converted a skull champion and painted some more berzerkers. @ Belfast: The daemon prince is really easy to make, I just put a spawn head and some Lord of Change wings on and greenstuffed the gaps. @ Son of horus: Yeah, I see what you mean with the rhino :wub: I tried to go for a look that it's been slowly worn down over time but it does look too even. At least it's not as noticable IRL. I forgot to mention that the IW are only TT without highlights, I put a little more time into my daemons but both armys are for gaming and I want to finish them before this summer. A friend of mine are collecting tyranids and we have a goal of 5000 points painted figures each to play with this summer. I already have most of the things, I just need to put together and paint it. On the whole Berzerker/Plague marine debate. Berzerkers have a place in an IW army, and with the same logic I don't see why not some trench-specialists can't get a close relationship with nurgle. Especially if they have been using chemical and more importantly biological weapons. The thing to remember is that they are squads of IW that have dedicated themselves to a god, they're not World Eaters or Death Guard. These special bonds to a certain god would take time to develop and I only really see it happening with Khorne and Nurgle. Khorne is mentioned in the fluff, nurgle is just something I can see happen. Here's half a squad of Berzerkers, skull champion with counts-as power fist: http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb29/hairojin/DSC00016.jpg I'm thinking about doing some more work on the axe. I also have to get some backpacks for them. I got the old 2nd ed in the box and man they're ugly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
