Tallxiii Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 These chaps are my chapter "The Iron Dragons", I've only a tactical squad and a single Terminator done so far but anyway here you go. http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P28-10-09_0629.jpg http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P28-10-09_063201.jpg http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P27-10-09_1230.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183958-my-iron-dragons-to-date/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingDeth Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I rather like the color scheme, it's nice and subdued. The visors are also interesting, though they end up looking somewhat Master Chief-y. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing...

David the Despoiler Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I love it, well done. That's a great scheme. Good job on the banner, that fire turned out really well. That's how I imagine burning promethium looks, with that unnatural tinge to represent just how dangerous it is, licking the edges. The Chain Sword from the sergeant is from the Captain kit, right?

Tallxiii Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 It's a good thing in my eyes, it wasn't quite my intention to do it like that but I think I'd been playing a lot of Halo at the time! (perhaps it's time to leave the xbox alone for a while) The entire squad is from the Battle for Macragge box set.

Starblayde Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 The visors are awesome, and this is coming from someone who doesn't like Halo. Just a tiny touch of detail that makes them unique, and the gold has come out awesome. Thumbs up!

Tallxiii Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Thanks, I'm really pleased with the glow the terminator visors seem to radiate.

Cpt Stahl Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Cool color scheme, and the visors are great too ! (a small conversion, but how accurate, good work, I like it :P ) Â Cpt Stahl.

Tallxiii Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Well here are 2 more terminators. http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P07-11-09_0615.jpg http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P07-11-09_0616.jpg http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P07-11-09_0619.jpg http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P07-11-09_0620.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183958-my-iron-dragons-to-date/#findComment-2178313 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theredcorsair Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Those visors are awesome, and the color scheme is so subtle too. The "glow" on the terminators visor just looks like some sploched paint sorry to say. I vote for just painting the eyes from now on. Either way, did you just shave down inbetween the eyes for the visor thing?

Tallxiii Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 Well I've finished the Terminator squad off, and tried my hand at a Grey Knight style helmet. It doesn't look bad considering it was done on an AoBR model and the head and neck are one piece. In the main pic the Sergeants power sword looks different because I repainted it as I didn't really like how it had come out, but I think the new look is a lot better. http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P19-11-09_0602.jpg http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P19-11-09_060201.jpg http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P19-11-09_0603.jpg http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P19-11-09_2324.jpg http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P19-11-09_0604.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183958-my-iron-dragons-to-date/#findComment-2193362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseychaoslord Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 The marines are really cool and like the way you made mastr chief visors on them(ive been trying to figure it out for ages)!

Semnos Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Yes, I too would like to know how you converted the visors. I am a HUGE Halo fan! Pretty please give us a tutorial.

Tallxiii Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Well here is Brother-Captain Orus in all his technicolour glory. I'd originally converted him for a Spyrer gang in Necromunda but felt that the extra plating on his armour looked to much like scales so he was drafted to the ranks of the Iron Dragons. Oh and I've changed the green for a custom job that's a bit darker but still looks well with what I've painted up so far. So what do you think?

c-wrex Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 So what do you think? Â What do I think? What do I think? I think I need new shorts after seeing so much awesome! :) :angry: Â Those are count as lightning claws, I assume? And I love the clunky plated look of the armor, as well as the backpack and the paintjob.

Tallxiii Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks very much! Yeah I used them as Lightening Claws, the next lot will be a twin blade set up I think. I mocked them up on this model but preferred the single blade as it looked more in keeping with the armour. http://i992.photobucket.com/albums/af49/tallpaulr/P24-11-09_2011.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183958-my-iron-dragons-to-date/#findComment-2206554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergtorp Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 What are the parts that you made the armour plates from? I can see that the parts on the back of the legs are Chaos Maraudrer shoulder pads but the other parts I can't.

c-wrex Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Lizardmen are my favorite fantasy miniature range ever (well, behind the Sebeki from Crocodile Games, but they're not affiliated here, so...) and I love how you incorporated them. Plus the twin blade claw you've mocked up is very cool looking, and looks like it would cause some awful wounds.

Terminatorinhell Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Oddly enough as much as I hate Halo, the visors turned out amazing. I like it, I may have to have a go at it!
