red_starrise Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I proudly present the first completed & based model of my Iron Warriors warband: My Iron Warsmith w/ daemon weapon (twin warp-infused lightning claws) & combi-bolter in TDA. It's hard to tell in these pics but the claw blades fade from orange to red from blade to back. http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Iron%20Warriors/CIMG5233.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Iron%20Warriors/CIMG5236.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Iron%20Warriors/CIMG5235.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Iron%20Warriors/CIMG5238.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Iron%20Warriors/CIMG5242.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Iron%20Warriors/CIMG5239.jpg http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x84/red_starrise/40K/Iron%20Warriors/CIMG5241.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeaponAdept Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Very cool conversion! I love the torso and shoulder pad combination. Is there a tutorial for that? I can see the fading colour on the blades, but only after you pointed it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorse Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I really like it, it's got a good colour scheme and I like the pose too, very balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red_starrise Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Very cool conversion! I love the torso and shoulder pad combination. Is there a tutorial for that? I can see the fading colour on the blades, but only after you pointed it out. It's a pretty simple conversion, the shoulder pads were done very similar to those on Karitas' tutorial on turning AoBR termies to GKs, I did the leg pauldrons the same way as the tutorial, more or less. The only differences were I didn't add a 2nd layer on the shoulders like Karitas did & after trimming them out I added small squares & rectangles to the inside for the cog look taking the SM tank commander shoulders as inspiration. For the torso, I used a GK torso to begin w/. I then cut the grated collar off the venerable dread chest plate & glued it in place above the head vertically. Behind this, for the tech look, I glued a rhino sensor dish, just the dish, angled to join the back & the collar & used GS to seal the gaps to make it look like it's part of the armor. To enclose the neckline for that heresy-era look I shaved all the GK iconography off the torso front & then cut a half circle of plasticard & curled it to fit around the open collar. I then cut a thin strip of plasticard for trim like the shoulders & added the cog look there as well. That's the basics, then I built the servo harness for the arm using the restraints from the interior of a drop pod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysimachus Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 very nice conversion work, good job. The only thing I can think of that you could add would be a final thin edge highlight of orange/yellow to the blades, might just make them pop a bit more? Still great though!
