Kythnos' Iron Warriors

[bluntblade]

The Adamantine Talon?

[Kythnos]

not got any cool names at the moment but that's a great finish you have there, something the be proud of. I love the capering nurglings and the colours work really well, good job. 

 

Thanks mate! Now it's time to get the bad boy on the battlefield

 

The Adamantine Talon?

 

Thanks for the input! It does sound a bit imperial though. If we go from Talon, however, there are a few options: Dread Talon, Iron Talon, Vengeful Talon, Talon of Agony... so many options

[Mechanist]

Quite like 'The talon of Agony'. 

[bluntblade]

I'd love wary of having everything become the Iron Something

Yup, I agree there. Reminds me too much of the Blood Angels' naming rules for their equipment :D

[Kythnos]

So I've been away from this blog for a while but that does not mean I have not painted up a few units :)

 

Rapier weapon servitors:

 

Forgefiend:

 

Counts-as Spawn and mutants:

 

I still have some mutants and militia miniatures waiting to be painted and then there's the shadow spear box that sounds promising, including Abaddon. Maybe the Despoiler will call for the service of the Stonebreakers soon ;-)

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Great job on the servitors and the Daemon engine. Are their bases' textured gray surface meant to represent volcanic ash?

[Kythnos]

It's an idea that has never occured to me, to be honest. I always meant for it to be a cheap and easy way to fit into city fights with dust and rubble everywhere. But you have given me an idea... :D

[Guzzlrr]

Looking Good My dude! Loving that knight as well Great use of the Brass etchings!

 

Iron Within ! Iron Without Brother!

Thank you for the kind words, brother. Iron Within1 iron Without!

[Kythnos]

It's ETL time again. With two kids time will be a lot more scarce than in the past, but I commited to two Obliterators for a start. I won't be able to start with them before mid-July, due to being abroad, though.

However, I was able to put on the last details on a model I had already sitting on my desk:

Iron Within! Iron Without!

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Excellent work on the Contemptor, but why give him twin heavy bolters instead of more powerful, longer ranged twin autocannons to match what's mounted on his left arm?

[Kythnos]

Well, it's what he was armed with when I got him on eBay. Since the weapons are magnetized I will definitely add more potent weaponry at some point. If anyone wants to part with Contemptor weaponry let me know ;-)

[ElDuderino]

Cool stuff! I like the colors on the contemptor in particular, striking!

[Kythnos]

Well, the new colours for my ETL vow have still not arrived, so I used the time for building 30 of the new CSM. I mixed Shadowspear parts with the regular CSM kit and am pleased with the results.

And so the updating of my warband to the new models progresses, albeit slowly.

[Kythnos]

Work on my ETL vow has finally begun! Let's see how that WHTV quick painting tutorial works...

[Kythnos]

Things are proceeding smoothly now for the ETL. The first Obliterator is nearly finished and the second one isn't far behind.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Your Obliterator looks most promising.

[Kythnos]

ETL Vow 1 is done!

I had a bit of unexpected work after using my new bottle of Nuln Oil and checking back after a while. The whole second Obliterator looked glossy. Apparently there is Nuln Oil Gloss now - who thought keeping the name but changing the product was a good idea?

Time for another round:

It's not the same name. It's labelled as "Nuln Oil Gloss", which, while similar is a distinct name ;)

 

(note: the Gloss versions of the three shades that have them are good for shading models but not making them darker. For example, Reikland Fleshshade Gloss is AMAZING for Custodes)

 

However, the Obliterators look good :tu:

While that is true, it is still misleading if you are just buying paints quickly and don't know that there are two versions of Nuln Oil now. I just skipped "Gloss" in the name, since it appears one line below "Nuln Oil".

[Kythnos]

The Venomcrawler is also complete.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

The Venomcrawler is beautifully painted.

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

[MegaVolt87]

Venomcrawler looks good. Did you add that rubble or did it come with the kit? Also I like how you did the yellowy orange for your contemptor, I adapted that while I am working on mine!
