Vandael Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Thanks Captain Mick , At the moment I'm in the progress of throwing some paint on these and some other "bionics" Iron Warriors. Seeing that I've got tons to do I might as well start some in small batches of 5 models a pop. This way I can "blend in" fully painted models in my squads until I've got my 1250pts target for this year. Just a question though; How and where do you guys (Chaos Marine Generals) make squadmarkings on your models? When I have finished modelling & sorted the models in the squads they are going to end. I am planning on marking them somehow. It's not like we use a ultrasmurf codex to point out where to put them. Ideas? Cheers, Vandael IRON WITHIN, IRON WITHOUT!

Captain Mick Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 My self i dont really mark my squads with numbers only at the bottom of the base i paint the number of the squad :) . Easy to field together on battlefield but doesnt really see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuNCHBiZZLe Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I denote squads by helmet, 3 squads with converted WFB heads and 3 with IW heads, then I try to keep them apart when I field them/deploy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandael Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Hello again. Captain Mick That would be an easy way to do it :drool: but I would like to keep the bases clean. Usually I can keep my squads apart, it's more a fluff thing. LuNCHBiZZLe That will work but I'd like to have a mish/mash and mixed models & helmets with no models alike. Well just for the squad markings on the models. Thanks for the input thoug guys. Cheers, Vandael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jofus Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I don't like having squad markings on my iron warriors. I did hear that a guy got disqualified from a tournament for not having them but I don't know of any rule in the BBB that states squads need to be marked. i guess if i had to do it I would put numbers on the backside of the base.

LuNCHBiZZLe Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 If it had to be done I would go for knee pad or shin guard depending on model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 To be honest, I think shoulder pad markings would be cooler and more realistic. Like a number or a stripe or something on the left shoulder. Or right shoulder, whichever one you dont have their legion mark on :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Oh and, your models are really cool. I like the aspiring champions :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandael Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Thanks for the replies everyone, @ GooseDaMoose: markings on the shoulderpads would be the most logical, just have to figure how I can spare some room there. I was also playing with the idea of using stripes to designate the units. Unit 1 leftfoot, unti 2 rightfoot, unit 3 right kneepad etc. ATM I'm waiting for some IW-shoulderpads I've orderd for some further marines I'm putting together and thought that I could do some work with the models I did put together (recently). I don't have my camera ready so I'll be posting some pics later today of the work so far. Cheers, Vandael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandael Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 Hello there again, As promised earlier today I've got a small update on some troops I've ben working on. Here are some Iron Warriors with an "naked" Aspiring Champion. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Vandael/TroopsWIP.jpg And here we have some with Chaos Icons, regular CSM and AUtocannon wielding baddy. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a377/Vandael/TroopsWIP02.jpg Most of these models have their basecolours but all of them need work on extra highlighting, inkting, detailwork and weapons. Constructive C&C welcome as always, plus I'm still fishing for ideas on squadmarkings :) Cheers, Vandael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Dude, these guys are boss! I love the war engine and the Rhinos and... everything, really. Iron Warriors is probably my favorite Chaos Legion! Looking forward to seeing more of your finished stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
