Wulfebane Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Have there been any really nice/exceptional iron priest conversions posted out there? I'm toying with the idea of putting one on a bike but didn't think just chopping the torso from the (only) current IP model would make it diverse enough from the original.

Hazelnut Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Not so keen on that servo arm, but I'm surprised how much I like that brushed metal torso! Very nice.

Wulfebane Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Does anyone remember this bit of fluff lore and/or still adhere to it? Excerpt from WD issue #156 IRON PRIESTS On Fenris, the Forgemasters are men set apart from the bulk of the population by their knowledge of weapon making and ironwork. The secrets of smithing are passed from father to son. Forgemasters are organised into the mysterious Guild of Smiths, an organisation with links to the Iron Priests of the Space Wolves. Iron Priests are chosen from the sons of Forgemasters in secret rituals on the Isles of Iron. Here candidates are picked by both a Wolf Priest and an Iron Priest. They do not face the questioning of the massed. Space Marines but are instead examined by the Master Iron Priest himself, and their knowledge of the mysteries is tested. To prove their courage they must place their hand into the blazing mouth of a great forge cast in the shape of a grinning Wolf's Head. This is the ultimate test where the aspirant must sacrifice part of his own flesh to achieve unity with the Machine-God. When the blackened stump is removed it is replaced with a servo-gauntlet grafted directly onto the aspirant's hand and linked to his central nervous system. The Machine-God has entered the aspirant's body and he has begun a lifelong journey towards understanding its mysteries. Iron Priests must undergo the ritual of the Blooding exactly like any other aspirant, and they then spend a period of training under the supervision of the Wolf Priests where they learn the use of weapons. At the end of this time they are sent on a pilgrimage to the Forge World of Mars, where they undergo training with the Tech-Priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus. Here they learn many of the secrets of the Machine-Cult. During this time they may also acquire many bionic enhancements, symbolic of their unity with the Machine-God, and useful to any artificer. When they return to the Chapter they take their place among the ranks of the Iron Priests, supervising the munitions factories and workshops of the Fang. They create the cyborg Wolves and Ravens for the Rune Priests. The Iron Priests are mysterious figures to their battle-brothers. They possess strange skills and obscure knowledge from the elder days and their concerns seem remote and unworldly. They do not take part in any of the great contests and many of their rituals are secret even from their fellow Space Wolves. They are outsiders, even as the smiths are on the world of Fenris. Perhaps because of this they are not resented. Their brother Space Marines see them as occupying the same position as the mysterious weapon makers did in their old society. http://www.gamehobby.net/subject_indexes/s...ace_wolves.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222635-iron-priest-conversions/#findComment-2663215 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wulfenstein Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 That one is pretty epic as well. I swear when I finish moving and get all my stuff setup ima have to post some pics of my stuff. I hate moving from Hawaii back to the East Coast!

Growler67 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I'll be moving from the Wet Coast back to Hawaii in a few months. Grew up there and loathe the idea of moving back. Mothers health is declining and I'm the only one in a position to move back and help out with things. Siblings can't do it for many reasons. Sucks but what is one to do? Family first.

Wulfenstein Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Sorry to hear that. I grew up here as well, managed to leave for quite a few years, and then come back again for a few. I wish the gaming community was a little better out here but I understand I am on an island so yea... And again, sorry to hear that.

Lokkan Of The Long Hall Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I cut the shoulder pads off the old model, and also the servo arm's wolf head grip. http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff371/chris-mills1/P1040784.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff371/chris-mills1/P1040783.jpg The Thrall-servitors were made before I read Prospero Burns, so they don't have masks or too many decorations. http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff371/chris-mills1/P1040800.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/222635-iron-priest-conversions/#findComment-2665762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
