mandalore Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I have finally forced myself to complete and add to the army to be able to play all sorts of options -- Been working on it for 7 years off an on -- more off than on as I have only played 2 games in that time period. It wont win any paint awards but draws a lot of attention on the table as a whole. Trying to get a good group shot of entire force. If I decide to keep it I have a thunder hawk and some scouts to paint and would like to do an iron father on bike or 2. -- the new FW mk armor and dread really make me want to spend more money. I intentionally made this army so expensive in the base cost that I would not be inclined to sell it due to not being able to break even much less turn a profit. http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/100.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/101.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/102.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/103.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/104.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/105.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/107.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/108.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/200.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/201.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/202.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/203.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/300.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/301.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/302.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/303.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/304.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/305.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/400.jpg http://www.micropanzer.com/ironhands2010/401.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekim_Trub Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 I like these alot! I'm still slightly unsure on each squad having matching helmets though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangrail Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Damn really nice looking. What heads were used for the Dev squad? Also my army is also Iron Hands (own chapter Emperor's Shadows) based so I really respect this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Not a huge fan of the matching helmets, but hey thats a personal artistic choice, and you obviously do like it. Overall though fantastic stuff, really striking army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandalore Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Matching helmets -- matching torsos- guns- backpacks- legs and so on --- one of the most frustrating aspects of massed combat games is figuring out who goes to what squad in HTH or waiting on some one to move models and then figure out how is who --- This is my solution to keep things simple on the battle field. the 5 man dev squad with HB is the IW chaos marine head and the other 10 man LC squad head is from marine vehicle sprue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallvictory Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Nice looking army, I like the matching helmets and shoulderpads, very game friendly.I really like the idea of painting some of the vehicle armor plates black to break up all of that grey, I'm painting my first rhino as I type this and am doing the same thing, glad to see it works out well. I also appreciate all the extra work that went into those bikes adding all those bits, gives a lot of personality to what sometimes comes off as a boring troop choice.

nurglez Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 love the twin las dread with close combat weapon, i'm a total dread head, and the tomb spider legs as a close combat weapon is totally gonna be stolen by me at some point :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Great looking army. Personally not sold on the blue weapon casings, but everything else is top-notch to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Huh....so someone out there does like the Iron Hands after all. :P Great work on these, the use of blue and metallics was a nice touch in particular. There are enough black and white armies out there already. Interesting conversions as well (i see some mold lines though, tsk tsk!). That one biker, with the storm shield on the side, is that the Ultramarines tank commander character? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scathainn Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 These are sexy beyond compare. I commend thee, sir, and Ferrus Manus shakes his pimp-cane of excellence at thee from out in the warp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuriousFerret Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Very nice! Though I question the wisdom of wielding a big hammer from the back of a motorcycle... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustmanifesto Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 awesome. what did you do for the bases? the color looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandalore Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 it is the ultramarine tank character guy -- The base color is a americana cheap paint burnt umber over black then heavy dry brush of Tan Earth from model color range. I am not totally sold on the blue either -- there is always a better color but once I got to about 3 vehicles and 4 squads it made more since to continue than redo -- Now it is what it is I really liked the painted 2nd ed black Templar's scheme the black with a bright blue gun case and went with something along that line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannus Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 You have some really nice conversions going on there - very well done. There are few of us Iron Hands players around and we always appreciate seeing each other's work. :yes: Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Nice work!!!!!!!! Interesting choice of blue weapon casings, really striking.....what clan is it, or is it just a random army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitsplitta Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Man those are beautiful looking models! I bet that are looks spectacular on the table too... The blue works with the black nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Very nice. I spot some subtle, but very nice, conversions in there that I might have to steal. The blue of the weapons and plasma really compliment the dark armour also! - Natanael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Kravin Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Very nice!
