mightygoose Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 i could have sworn forrix had a chainfist, and it's 1st Company captain... EDIT - sorry the model is exceptionally well painted however, the hazard striping on the shoulder is fantastic, i would love to see more of your IW, Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158327-ironwarriors-captain-forrix/#findComment-1853504 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Of Sparta Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I dont't think it really matters what he had in the book, as a senior captain in the legion, I like to think he could have had several 'options' to choose from when donning his terminator armour. I seem to reall him having a power fist too, but that's not to say that he didn't have a lightning claw or two in his arming chamber. Back on topic, the mini is really well painted and the facial expression looks how I pictured Forrix when I read storm of iron, a sneer of contempt and smouldering hatred. More of these Iron Warriors is a neccesity :). Might I ask do you plan to make Honsou the mongrel halfbreed?

Mithrilforge Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 hey guys,thanks for the C&C ^_^ Forrix is equipped with a combi melta and powerfist...but book/fluff doesn't really mirror the gaming table in the sense of you dont want to arm your uber lord with high WS & I with a powerfist and risk him getting chopped before he even hits back :o so i have armed him with the closest looking wpn to the cover picture(i actually did give him the pointing powerfist at first but the angle didnt let the shoulderpad sit well with the spike/trophy racks on top) so he has a L/Claw in standard games(1000-1500) or a demon wpn for higher point games. i have a lot to paint ahead of me but if the rest of the hazard stripes come out like forrix's then i will be happy with the results. I do plan on making honsou but he will simply be a unit champion- armed with a bolt pistol and pwr wpn,the whole army will be this - HQ: Chaos lord(lord Forrix) termie armor, combi melta & Demon wpn Elites: *lords Retinue 4 Terminators(1x asp champ) - 1x Hvy Flamer + Chainfist - 1x Combimelta - 1x Combiflamer & LandRaider Transport - D/possession H.Q & Elite total } - 550pts Troops: 10 marines - 1x asp Champ - pwr wpn(honsou) - 2x plasma gun - rhino -(extra T/L Bolter) 10 marines - 1x chaos icon(glory) - 1x Melta gun - 1x Flamer - rhino -(havoc launcher) 10 marines - 1x Combi Melta - 1x asp champ - Pwr Fist(was going to name this guy after the guy that hunts after hawke) - 2x melta gun - rhino -(havoc launcher) Troop total } - 745pts Heavy Supp: 1x Vindicator - D/Possession 1x Defiler - Standard kit out of reaper & Flamers 1x Havoc Squad -6x marines 1x icon of glory 4x Hvy Bolter Hvy Supp Total } - 455pts Total is 1750pts exactly. im not sure on the havocs still,will see what new models come out for them in march(i hope they are plastics ;) cheers Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158327-ironwarriors-captain-forrix/#findComment-1854339 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mithrilforge Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 @ DD - i was thinking of getting the new Khorne lord model and painting it up in IW colors and using it as Larana or kroeger even and attach a squad of bezerkers - its totally do-able fluff wise as well :D cheers Mithril Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158327-ironwarriors-captain-forrix/#findComment-1854664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
