n00byfied Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hi! I almost finished the Black Reach Set and I am proud to show you the beginnings of my new Iron Snakes Army. (A lot of the colorscheme is actually stolen from the forum ;-)) army shot http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/1071/snakesarmyshotwc9.jpg http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/snakesarmyshotwc9.jpg/1/w2853.png the captain http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/8329/captaincmonns0.jpg http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/captaincmonns0.jpg/1/w600.png http://www.coolminiornot.com/211613 it doesn't really go with the book (e.g.apothecaries, lances, shields) but I'm still planing on doing a Damocles Squad that's more fluff-acurate. Hope you like it, more to come soon greetings, n00byfied Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Disciple Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Very nice snakes my friend. I especially like the power effect playing across the Power Fist. I may have to steal that idea. All I can say is that I hope to see more. Disciple Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1855553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell93 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Nice models But I wanted to be the first on the board to post some Snakes :( Damoles is a pain because it can't be a tactical cause of Priad's lighning claw, so allas i have to use them as a Sternguard squad but it come to a total of 275pts which is huge for one squad.

jay79 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Hello there fellow brother of the snake. I LOVE your work. Absolutely stunning. Your free-hand is excellent. I feel the one I did was too spaced out. A++ I hope to see more progress soon.

Shortsonfire79 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I love it! Keep it up, and get some Sternguard and tanks. They'd look fantastic. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1855839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00byfied Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 @all: Thanks for your kind replies! :-) Really nice work, you'll have to show us the dread next !! Yes Sir!! Dread is almost finished! @mitchell93: Right, Damocles is not really playable with the codex. But I'll do them anyway ;-) Edit: I might use the sternguard idea though, would give them a bit more impact. Option no.2 would be to count the claw as a normal energy weapon. (but this would be kinda lame) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1855847 Share on other sites More sharing options...

n00byfied Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 Quick Update: Here's the dread, as promised. http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/8987/dread1zr2.jpg http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/dread1zr2.jpg/1/w600.png I had a lot of problems with the weapon cases. I started with white, but it looked more and more terrible the more i painted it. So I decided to redo it with metallics like the rest of the dread. Highlights look a little sloppy, but I'll leave it that way since I already have enough of this model. ^^ Greetings, n00byfied Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1860218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay79 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Looks good. I was expecting to see "Autolochus" on his banner though. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1860758 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00byfied Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 the black reach dread is not good enough for Autolochus IMO. I'll need something more... honorable ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1861327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradigm Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 that snow base is great on the captain. what is your technique? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1861611 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherZaah Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Like the NMM on the captain. How come you didnt continue It throughout the army? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1861664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00byfied Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Hi! Thanks for all the nice replies again! @Fortnight: The captain's base is a bought-one from a polish company (I live in Europe). So not much technique there ;-)- http://www.shop.microartstudio.com/winter-...-30mm-p-99.html For painting it i used thin mixtures of white, ice blue and some grey. @BrotherZaa: The captain is actually painted with metallics, except the banner. (I think banners should never have metallics on them) I used a lot of thin washes to shade the metal. The more you do that, the more it looks similar to NMM. I'm currently working on the vanguard. I wanted to buy the sternguard yesterday, which I wanted to do first, (and a pred) but my local shop didn't have them. (Although I could have bought everything else there, obviously. bad luck.... :)) CU, n00byfied Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1862125 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradigm Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Thanks tons! I too would rather buy bases, and this is by far the best deal I have seen. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158440-iron-snakes/#findComment-1862155 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00byfied Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yes I think they have reasonable prices and the quality is pretty good. I can recommend them.
