Wow, so many different ideas...

 

 

Join me in XIV legion brother. I'm going to make some Death Guard breachers using the Immortals at some point, such a cool look.

Go for it dude! The Immortals are pretty nice minis. They look a lot more brutal than the regular MkIII with the added bionics etc. With a little bit of work they can fit into just about any Legion. The only slight problem is that they are in fairly static poses (not such a bad thing for Breachers, though).

 

That guy looks like an Iron Warrior to the core. Like one of the badass 77th Grand Company holding back the Alpha Legion on Paramar.

Yeah, I had the IV Legion in mind while I was building this guy. I've always had a soft spot for the Iron Warriors, but I never felt that I could do the metallic colour scheme justice. With the weathering powders I recon I could do a better job of it now.

 

Definitely agree with Reyner's idea. An Iron Warrior fighting to the bitter end on Paramar :biggrin.:

Thanks for the vote of confidence, bro!

 

My inital gut feeling was Death Guard, although Iron Warriors would probably work as well.

Yeah, he would fit either of those Legions really well. I'll have to give it some more thought.

 

XVII Legion, of course! 

 

That's a Word Bearer of the Chapter of the Ruined King if I ever saw one. :biggrin.:

Hmmm, I've been wanting to try a metallic Word Bearers scheme, kind of like Sheep's XVII Legion.

 

Imperial Fist! Or failing that, a Loyalist Iron Warrior, like Reyner and Dantioch said. :happy.:

It's been ages since I painted an Imperial Fist. I had the same problem with the VII that I've had with so many of the other Legions (not having the confidence to paint the scheme without weathering). A loyalist Legion would make a nice change of pace, considering that I nearly always paint traitors, or loyalists from traitor Legions.

 

We've seen you tackle the IV before, and most of the legions you have tackled amongst your older work were traitor legions. So I'd like to see something different in the Imperial Fists.

If not a Word Bearer. Although I'd prefer a whole army of them. :tongue.:

I hope you don't mind, but could I offer abit of constructive criticism? This model looks remarkably similar to Delvarus, I think what legion you do go for needs something extra added to this model to capture that legion's feel, or the models will look to similar.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! The mini is very similar to Delvarus because they come from the same kit and are both locked into the same general pose. I'll definitely make an effort to distinguish between this mini's Legion and Delvarus once I decide which Legion to go with.

 

Iron Warrior dude; Iron within, Iron without, those are words to live by and you know it. He could also look cool as a XIV legion marine.

I thought you might say that :P

 

VII legion. I see it as one of the retribution fleet fists taking down an iron warriors ship at Phall.

Thank for the vote, bro! 

 

How about... XVI, or why not the X?

I was going to make the last mini a Sons of Horus Reaver before I decided to go with the World Eaters. I tried a couple of different schemes for the SoH sea green, but couldn't come up with anything that I was really happy with. I'll keep experimenting though.

 

Well all I can say is that I see him. I see him carrying a melta-charge so I see siege breaker. So I see Imp Fist. Both IF and IW were siege speciallists, the former being specialists at breaking siege fortifications, the latter being siege builders

Yeah, he would really easily fit the mould of either the IV or VII. 

 

I'd love to see you do a White Scar, just so I can see how you do it. He built for Terra!

White Scars didn't really cross my mind. I could easily see him at the Siege of Terra, though. 

 

I agree with the Imperial Fists sentiment

It seems that more and more people are feeling that way.

Paint him in XIV Dragoon colours, brother. The Wolfhound always welcomes like-minded brethren.

I think I might just do that. Are there any heraldic devices particular to the XIV Draggon (apart from the red and white halved shield/circle)?

 

Metallic underlayer if you don't do an Iron Warrior. Metallic underlayers are the best :wink:

I've always wanted to try my hand at a metallic Emperor's Child. Looks like I'm going to go with the Iron Warriors this time, but I just got myself a pot of Tamiya Clear Red, so I'm keen to try out some metallic schemes soon.

 

Go for the VIIIth Legion. He's obviously about to mine a major monument and smash their hopes

The smooth face plate would be perfect for some terror markings... I'm going with the Iron Warriors this time around (painting lightning and finding an appropriate dark blue, post Midnight Blue, scares me :P ).

The Iron Warrior has some paint on him!

 

Painting time has been pretty limited lately so I haven't been nearly as productive as I would like to be. I've decided to paint my Iron Warrior as a member of Hyaenidae's XIV Dragoon. I've tried to keep fairly close to the Dragoon's colour scheme, although his shoulder pad is so weathered the iconography is pretty difficult to make out.

Hope you like him. Next up, I'll be adding the weathering powders.

 

 

Thanks for looking ;)

You chose the right legion for that guy ;) He looks great, something I can aspire to.

This describes how I feel with every update on this thread. Question how did you do that brassish coppery color? It's quite nice and faux understated if that makes sense.

Thanks everyone! :)

 

 

Awesome in a box. Superb Iron Warrior, now do more. :biggrin.:

Cheers,
BTB

Thanks, bro! At this stage the Iron Warrior is just another 'one off' mini. I'm experimenting with a couple of different Legions to see if I can find one that I like enough to start as a new project.

 

 

Wow!!! That iron warrior is amazing!

Not just amazing, freaking epic!...need to know the metal recipie

 

 

sooooo.... What colors did you use? :biggrin.:

I'm guessing you mean the iron colour? 

- Chaos Black undercoat

- heavy dry-brush with Ironbreaker

- wash with Nuln Oil

- wash with Agrax Earthshade

- stipple with Runefang Steel

- 'black line' with Abaddon Black

It might sound like a lot of work, but every stage is really quick. It would be even quicker when batch painting as the washes could dry while you work through a squad.

 

 

You chose the right legion for that guy :wink: He looks great, something I can aspire to.

Thanks, mate! I'm sure you'll do the IV Legion proud :tu:

 

Metal for the win....that's mental

Haha, 'iron within, iron without'.

 

gorgeous weathering Kizz, truly epic!

Thank, bro! Glad you like him.

 

He looks great Kizz. Nice choice of comapny to. What's next after the Iron Warrior.

Thanks, dude! I'm not really sure what's next. Unfortunately my hobby time is pretty limited at the moment (I'm supposed to be writing a Thesis). I'm trying to limit myself to about three hours of hobby per week, while I listen to the Eye of Horus podcast.

 

He is BEAST.

Thanks, bro!

 

Wow.

 

That fellow looks great!

Thanks, dude!

 

That Iron Warrior looks excellent dude!! The wear and tear on him is done perfectly! That pose is really imposing too, which fits the legion well (even thought they're no Night Lords :tongue.: ). Keep it up man!

Thanks, bro! I'm looking forward to seeing some more Night Lords from you.

 

Hahaha, not every Legion can drape themselves in flayed skin and skulls. Some Legions have real work to do :P

 

Wow!!! That iron warrior is amazing!

Thanks, mate!

Thanks for the kind words! There are two different 'coppery' colours on the mini. The armour trim (should pad edges, helmet brow, etc) was painted with a base coat of Gehenna's Gold, washed with Agrax Earthshade, and highlighted with Runefang Steel. The pipes/cables were painted the same way except with a base coat of Balthasar Gold instead of Gehenna's.
