Iron Warriors 5th Grand Company re-born - Army log

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

 

A while back I commented about trying to start a Guard army to ally with my Iron Warriors & also to be a stand alone force, more so when the plastic Storm Trooper where release, some of the best kits in my view.

So I'm now starting to push this army forward after seen a few Guard armour company kicking about here.  Just somthing about seen the Armour Company army that cool when it all painted up & also check out WD many years ago with George Dellapina armour company army.

 

I bought the paints today & the new GW colour spray (not sure the name).  I just spray the models with the colour spray, cover up area in blu-tak & then use the mix up paint in the GW spray gun.  It pretty good to use the spray gun again, just somthing we got to use a bit during my NQ to HND model making course.
So these where just spray half a hour ago & waiting on them to dry before remove the blu-tak.  Then spend a bit of tomorrow getting them painted.

Just trying to use some of the idea from the Forge World modelmaster class book 1 which is brillaint.

Some new trophies for the Contempter Dreadnought

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08512_zps423e0fd7.jpg

 

The Word Bearer trophies are base on Matt army from Throne of Skulls Oct 2012, I fought Matt Thasound Son army that Throne of Skulls April that same year with the Iron Warriors, both been great games & really great oppent.  He been asking me that Throne of Skulls events after that, when would I be adding trophies base on his Word Bearer army & thanks to Forge World I have some great parts to use now to mark them out.

 

I'm also hope to spend possible next Friday as a day off & to get the new unit of Iron Warriors for my Warpsmith built.

 

On another note - I;ve recently been re-reading some of the Iron Warriors short stories in the Omnibus & Renegades of the Dark Millennium, while I wait for the Talons of Horus novel to be release next week.  Just we know Soltarn Vull Bronn "the stonewrought, one of the few thing that make him stand out for me has always been the Trench tool, that is also a unique weapon as well as a tool for trench work. From what I remember in the novel, it say about the tool being use to kill 10 Imperial Fist Captain's & he taken on a Ork Warboss & then countless other people during the Long War.

 

Just trying think what would be a great way to convert the weapon? I'd not mind converting up another unit of Chosen theme around the elite seige worker who get the finial bit of the trench/defence work done that is to danger & important for cultist/Chaos Guards. This would possible be somthing I'd like to try convert for Call of Chaos for the unit of Chosen & they'll also give me a nice unit to use for Kill team mission's

There also Dassadra in the same short story as the stonewrought during the battle for Calth who pretty cool. Has all there nervies remove & we see him in the short story in Renegades of the Dark Millennium, so hopeful see more of him in future Honsou novels

 

Just though it would make a great Chosen unit & as always I like adding to my Iron Warriors army.

I love those boarding marines, man! They look awesome, especially as Iron Warriors! The dreads also all look excellent together! I'm curious to see how the blu-tac stripes turn out. Keep it up!

[Forté]

Talk about an update! Someone's been very busy. Time to go and take more trophies.

[Token]

Good stuff, real gory. Does the contemptor(Spelling?) have a Khorne marking? Liking the sword, did it fit easily? Have you used the Space Wolf venerable dread hand, or?

Does the sword have inquisitor markings?

Thanks for the comments

It looking pretty cool right now, but they will need shade added to them.  I've got a bit of free time today & aim try get as much painting done as possible.

Yes I use the shield from the Warrior of Chaos unit with Juggernauts (sp?), not really a Warhammer Fantasy player.  Just I was given those mini shield & the shield from that kit from a friend for a World Eater army I was planning, there a test model shown in a past update.  I did not need them in the end.  I'd still like to push forward with the World Eater army that some stage, long term plan to collect all 9 Legion, Crimson Slaughter & get my Fallen Angels army on the go.

First all, photos that are currently down will be back up in a few weeks.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08521_zpsa1a1b09b.jpg

 

I also pick up Talons of Horus.  I've been waiting what seem to be like forever (time flow diffrent in the warp :D ) for this novel to be release since ADB annouce it.
I've said a few time how the Black Library novels & audios have help out a lot.  From Storm of Iron to the Night Lord serise.  I've only started reading the novel a few hour ago & only on page 85 but it been cool, already got a lot of idea for future conversion for my Iron Warriors.

 

Part of the new unit as said will be acting as bodyguard for my Warpsmith

Absolutely love this thread, brother-- so consistently good from model to model. I especially like how you use accent colors to make the details pop. Keep up the good work!

Thanks geektom.

After reading a bit of Talons of Horus it has given me idea toward some new conversion for future units.  I'm only on page 85 so far, I've really enjoy what I've ready of Talons of Horus & looking forward to the rest of the book

 

Also just notice today mark 18 year in the hobby for me.  Started the hobby on the 28th Septemeber 1996, going to Games Workshop Edinburgh with the release of 5th ed Warhammer Fantasy (art work of the Bret's what draw me that first) & also the 2nd ed Chaos Space Marines.  A month later in Oct when I pick up White Dwarf 202 with free Bret bowmen & had the art work from John Blanche on Chaos Marines + studio memebers Chaos Space Marines conversion that led me to starting off with Black Legion.

Black Legion army was pretty Khorne heavy with the clip together models, then later with the current Khorne Bezerker & 3rd ed era Tactical Marines.

 

As shown on the very & on the first post with the photo below, this was the very first conversion when I was ten year old & my second 40k army (I orignaly started with Ultramarines, back then I was more into Warhammer with Bret's due to the Knights, but now more Warhammer 40,000 player).  Some of the trophies have broken off which I am gutted about.

I've always kept my Lord for my Black Legion army, which can some time be seen in the background on photos taken that the painting stastion.

Very impressive work as always IP, even your original conversion - way better than mine anyway!! Love the Russ especially, no differnece between that and your reference. Who are your Bodyguard counting as, Chosen? They look very cool.

 

Enjoy Talon btw, I haven't had the time to have the pleasure of it yet, but I am looking forward to when I do :)

They'll be normal Chaos Space Marines like my other Breacher squad.  Just with Warpsmith Damocles - Photos of him should be back up in a few week time. 

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242006-iron-warriors-5th-grand-company-re-born-army-log/page-11?do=findComment&comment=3544024

 

It just for a event I've got in four week time.  Also I just like the Breacher units.

 

I've got a Chosen unit I'd like to convert for Call of Chaos, I've spoted a pretty good note about IW in Aaron novel Talons of Horus.  When I was painting a bit yesterday, while waiting on some paint to dry I have a quick look that the novel & first page it open to was about a group of Iron Warriors.  I just read the part that describe there wargear/look, I think it was page 142?

But only got a small amount of time to read the novel last night & I've really enjoy ToH. 

 

With the Black Legion - Just as always, I've pick a army for the conversion.  Back then I was more focuse on the building side, painting side was more when I started my Templars when I was starting to learn a bit more & then really getting into the painting side around 2008.  Gaming wise, was more 3rd ed that would see me be more of a Warhammer 40,000 player. 

 

With the Leman Russ, I just need to get a bit more battle damnge, that'll get done later today & that should be the model finish :D  Just aim today get my models painted like the new IW w/Icon & the new Rhino I bought.  Spend tomorrow converting up the other Battle Brother for this new unit.

Update

 

All the orders I've place over the last few days & weeks are all arrive now. My first Forge World order arrive today, it just get a trophie added to my Dreadnought, tie in with the rest of my army & rememeber great games

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08540_zps2f485c39.jpg

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08541_zpse72933ee.jpg

 

Trophies are - Word Bearer base on Matt, as said before I fought Matt that Throne of Skulls October 2012 & before that the Thaouns Sons army that Throne of Skulls April 2012. He pick up on the trophies base on that game & had ask me that later Throne of Skulls when he would see Word Bearer trophies - Thanks for FW with the heresy release, allow me to add cool trophies & remember the great game against himself.

 

While the new trophie - I think this will be base upon a fallen Space Marine from the Istvaan V from the Raven Guard chapter. Just during the Heresy hobby challenge I had last year, I think I was put up against someone who was collecting the Shatter Legion.

 

Castellan Rhino - I spent Monday afternoon building the Rhino model & should hopeful get the plasticard armour plate all cut out ether tomorrow night or during the weekend & start adding them along with trophies. I'm thinking of adding a crusifed Word Bearer to the front hull, again to mark the game vs Matt & background wise will tie in with the Legion Wars.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08542_zps8ae67843.jpg

 

I mange to get the new Icon bearer painted on Sunday & varnish on Monday - Still need to add bit green stuff the the chainsword-halberdier.
I also start converting the Champion for the new Breacher unit. I'm just waiting on a Space Wolves power axe to arrive to convert his weapon

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08545_zps0534c7c3.jpg

 

The World Eater trophie base on one of my current oppent.  It usely there Space Wolves that are there main army.  But recently gotten together a World Eater army with Daemonic allies.  Another trophie will be added to there Rhino transport.
I've just got to build three more Battle Brother right now for this unit.  One more will be arm with the Chain-halberd weapon & the other two will be arm with Bolter, I want to try get them useing the shield to support there Bolter so see what conversion work I can get done useing arm's from the Tactical Marines kit

 

Also mange to unbox a few more IW, even a year after move there still boxies here to sort out.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08546_zps3d0128be.jpg

 

It just Narach back when he was a Champion arm with Power Fist, along with another Champion w/Power Sword (forgotten his name sadily).  Along with Warsmith Abhorred Riddick from 2001 & Sorcerer Krull.
I notice that the Chaos Lord with Power Axe is still on sale over on the Games Workshop web site, I still rememeber when the model was release, with the eavy metal team holding a painting comp in the White Dwarf when he was release along with Battlefleet Gothic & is one of my favrout chaos models.  Just been thinking about pick the model up & painting a current version of Warsmith Abhorred Riddick in mortal forum just for display more than anything else & I have the same arm from the Necromunda model - bought the model a while back to use bionic leg on one of my Cultist.

 

Lord Narach during the years Left to Right - 2006 era who was use during Medusa V.  Current era built in 2012 who led my force to this day in 1500pts to 1850pts games.  2001-2002 version when I started my Iron Warriors & he was a Champion for unit of chosen bodyguard for Warsmith Abhorred Riddick.

There has been another two version.  I think I still got the power armour version of him arm with Kai Gun & there was another Terminators version in 2005 that I use in Conflict Scotland with Kai Gun.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08547_zpsacbe5f28.jpg

 

Sorcerer Krull from 2002 (Left) which I shown before, he was bought the day before Conflict Scotland 2002 my first event just because I like that Sorcerer model more than anything else.  Then the current version of Krull as part of Call of Chaos 2012, since then added glow effect to the eyes of the skull

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08548_zps22bf1a1b.jpg

 

As said in the last post - 28th Sept mark 18 year in the hobby for me, when I started in 1996.  In a few week time, I pick up White Dwarf 202 my first copy with the art work by John Blanche & conversion by studio memebers with the release of 2nd ed Chaos Marine codex, that led to me collecting Black Legion & Chaos in general. 

As said when it come to a army, I want to go with the once that offer me conversion.  I can careless what top in internet army list is, they come & go, while armies I enjoy converting are the once that will last longer

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08550_zps56ba547b.jpg

 

Also forget to add the Abaddon vs Loken duel I got last year from Rapid Fire.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08552_zps90f95c75.jpg

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08554_zps65589fcb.jpg

 

There still bits to be added & one reason for the photos allow me to pick up.  Just I've been taken my time to paint the duel, it a really great model & I've really enjoy painting Abaddon & Loken.
I wanted Abaddon conversted with the Talons of Horus & daemonic sword so I could use him in my Warhammer 40,000 games, but also be on the display with Loken.  In a way it to show the past & future.
But I am gutted, I started painting the duel in March, then saw Midnight Runner great Abaddon conversion he useing for his Chaos army   I'll go back in the near future to add some more trophies.

 

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/287471-……by-my-hand-shall-the-false-emperor-fall/

 

Loken been painted in the same colour as my friend Alan Sons of Horus army I posted a few updates ago.

 

So hopeful any orders I've still got left will arrive by Friday.  Just allow me to finish the new Champion conversion & get one of the battle brother converted for the Breacher unit.
Hopeful get plasticard armour plate added to my new Rhino & get this all ready during the weekend ready for painting.

Also since the photos where taken, the trophie for my Dreadnought has got some paint, hopeful have the trophie all finish by tomorrow & so my Helbrute ready for a game on Thursday

 

Also current on page 282 on Talons of Horus, it been a good novel & as said given me some conversion idea.

Just wanted to poke my head in here to say that whilst most of this stuff is absolutely awesome, the Goodwin concept art-inspired Havoc squad (Olympia Vengeance) is truly badass. I'm glad someone did a squad based off that artwork even if they are traitorous sons of dogs and the fact that they're Iron Warriors is pretty cool too. ;)

 

I also love the Warpsmith's Breacher-equipped bodyguard. You've captured the spirit of the Iron Warriors well in this log, I think.

As said there since the photo was taken, mange to get more painting done.  The Champion will be ready to add turft grass, varnish & blood for the blood god tomorrow.

 

Another Forge World order that arrive during the week after a little dely - FW & GW customer serive has always been great from my experince & how much help I've always gotten.

Trophies where added to help tie in with my Iron Warriors.  But to also just add a bit.  Really happy how they all turn out on the Contempter Dreadnought.  Like the Iron Havocs, he been make his own history in recent games. 

 

Recent Call of Chaos was annouce on the forum for the 15th Oct to 15th Jan next year.  I've already got a idea on what units I want to put forward to this hobby challenge & overall looking forward seen all the cool models other memebers will be converting & painting for there Call of Chaos oaths.

For me, my first model I will work on will be a Predator - Just I like tanks & mech heavy armies.  One of my friends & oppent commented how they'd like to get a few games against a old list I use to have which had 4x Predators

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08561_zpsb30d0592.jpg

 

The Forge World blister is Iron Warriors armour plate/hatchies for Rhino type models that arrive today.  I got another set as well.  So once the Call of Chaos sign up topic happen.  I'll get a post on here about the units I will be entering & idea/plans/why there added.  For exsample the unit of Chosen I want to get converted, aim for them to be my unit for Kill team games, somthing I've planned since last year but one thing or another got in the way.

Call of Chaos is great & well worth take part.  I think in all, I've only miss one when I was getting my Space Wolves army ready.  Another I did not met the deadline with a World Eater army, due to stuff happen in personial life back then & meant the model where being rush & that a stage I was not happy with, nor did I want any army to go though that. 

 

After my last post shown a few of the Iron Warriors that where part of the army from day 1 as it where.  I've mange to find some bits & mean I'm going to build a second version of my Warsmith Abhorred Riddick back when he was a mortal.  I've just place a order for this Chaos Lord model, the model has been one of my all time favrout along with the metal Daemon prince (why Abhorred Riddick went to the all might Daemonic Lord, also thanks to a game against Blood Angels).

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/Chaoslord2_zps2d27b900.jpg

 

I still rememeber when this model was release & the painting comp the Eavy Metal team held.  Was really cool seen how much differance could be done to one model.  I've got the Chaos Lord & Techmarine order today.  This will be for display more than anything else. 

 

Right now - I'm aim on getting the plasticard armour & Icon work done tomorrow for the Rhino I shown in the last updated.  I have my first 7th ed 40k event in three weeks time & I got a few models left to build & paint.  Then it been point out I've got another event two week after that, just waiting for the rule pack to be release so I know what I will be taken in my army list & what models would need to be added.

The FW Khorne Bezerker helmet is base on my friend Khorne army.  They where orignaly going to take them to the event in two week time.  But with the release of codex Space Wolves (there first 40k army), they've went back to add more new units.  But they will aim go back to the Bezerker after the event.

 

I just need to get four Iron Warriors built & ready for my wargaming club event in two week time.

 

I really need to get around & buy a few FW Bezerker kits in the future.  There really great & just detail on the kits.

The photos where take yesterday.  Since then a bit more work been done, but it has been frustrating that I forgotten some of my paints I really needed.  I'm going to try get some painting time later tomorrow, I was orignaly meant to have a game but both myself & my oppent are pretty busy & will re-arrange for another time.

Trophies wise - Bezerker base on my friend army I commented before.  Word Bearer on Matt game from Throne of Skulls Oct 2012.  Eldar will be base on ex-full time staffer who work in GW same time as me & I've shown there great Eldar army past few times.

 

I also spent some time getting plasticard Icon for the Rhino top hatch

As said in the last update, I just wanted to paint up a secon mortal version of Warsmith Abhorred Riddick.  The first one seen left in the photo was the first model that got me started on the path of collecting Iron Warriors.  This was during time before we had the multi part Chaos Marines we had today, when the current plastic Khorne Bezerker where just release.

 

This model will be for display more than anything else.

 

Also started building the first model that will be part of my Call of Chaos

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08576_zps0970c87f.jpg

 

I'll be spend later tomorrow getting the plasticard armour all built so the model ready for undercaot on Tuesday & I can start painting on the 15th Oct.  As you can see there, I've also got the Warsmith model fix which will be getting painted some point soon.

 

Test World Eater model I painted a while back, just re-painting some parts & hope to get the model varnish tomorrow.  I just took the photo a hour & a half ago, light might not be so great.

Right after finish reading Talon of Horus, I'm re-reading the novel for a second time.  It really good & as said given me a lot idea toward conversion, with IV Legion on page 140 which will give me idea toward my unit of Chosen I want to add to my Call of Chaos.  Right now I'm trying to gather bits so I can convert Lheorvine Ukris the World Eater just as a one off model.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08562_zps8f542fd6.jpg

 

So there a lot to try get though right now.  I'm still planning on what I want for Call of Chaos.  Seen some of the stuff from Warhammer Fest from Forge World is making it even difficult due to all the cool new models.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08587_zps103c179a.jpg

 

As seen there.  There still a lot to get painted.  I'll need to wait & see as this week is pretty busy.  I've got a lot of Iron Warriors to get ready for my wargaming club event next week.
If I can get part of the predator painted during this week, then I'm aim on getting the Forge World weather powder added during the weekend, same time as the new Rhino I've been posting in past few udpates.

 

So with Call of Chaos.  Pretty much

 

Predator - I want to try get a few more of these in my army.  Back in 2005 & 2007 I use to run a list with four of them & really enjoy useing that list.  So just give me chose with allies or unbound.  I do want to add another one in the future but unsure if I will try the Relic Predators with the FW rules? 

 

Chosen - I talk about getting a Kill team done a while back after painting Talons & First claw.  I want to get one built for my Iron Warriors after last year Kill team rule being release.  While I've not been keen on small games, I do enjoy kill team games.  One of the aims is to try attend a Warhammer World Kill team event as well since I'll not be back down until next year due to work happen in Warhammer World.  So try attend one to make up for lack of event this year for myself as well as usely Throne of Skulls.

One idea I'd like to try is convert a Rhino like this - Photo of George Dellapina Guard army - Dragon Slayer from White Dwarf 313, photo of the army when it was being sold on ebay a few year back

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/tank_zpsfaffeb13.jpg

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/tank6_zps0baffa1a.jpg

 

General theme for the unit to show them as the mote Elite.  Those who are trusted with the most important trench & seige work for those finial attack or vital duty.  Thing sort of like ARC Trooper from Star Wars as well.

 

Terminators - This is to help me get my unbound army list done which was Terminators heavy.  For this I will convert the Grave Warden? from the Death Guard range.  Since the models where release I've always though they where cool.

 

Chaos Lord - I just want to have a Power Armour lord so I got the chose for events.  Also this will be base on one my older models back when I started the army, the other Champion who was part of Warsmith Abhorred Riddick bodyguard unit.  I think I will use Sevatar model if he release in time.  If not then that a conversion for later on & I can look for a stand in as the other chose is to make a Grand Company Champion, a person who up-hold my Warsmith rule as law & general fight for the Honour of my Grand Company.
So all down to Sevatar being release during this time or not?

Warpsmith - Just add another one.  I like the whole idea for the Warpsmiths

 

Dark Apostle - After seen the art work preview that Warhammer Fest of a Word Bearer Dark Apostle........ I want to add another one to my IW, going to see what wargear they can have so he arm diffrent from the three I've already got in my army.  Again give me chose.

 

Obliterator - Just to help bring up the number & so I got chose.  Also it been a while since I've last converted up a Obliterator.  Want to possible try useing the MkIII helmet toward this conversion or try get a bit more bionic & use some part from the FW Iron Hands range.

 

Maulerfiend - I just like the model & got a conversion idea in mind.  Also enjoy painting the model.

 

My planned work time

 

Nov
I want to try get the Chosen & there Rhino all converted up.  Some time there are kill team event ran during the holidays.  Even then I think be a great time to get a few games on the go.

I'll also try get a HQ here & there converted.  Possible the Mauler Fiend as well?

Dec

Terminators will be Christmas day.

I'll ether get the Warpsmith or Dark Apostle converted for the 24th Dec, a time where I usely go to my local store pick up a few things & spend a bit of time painting a model before going home....... hopeful avoid the house tidy up.

 

Pretty much Christmas holidays are the best time for me with two & a bit weeks.

 

None Call of Chaos models

 

With my wargaming event next week.  I spent a bit of time yesterday afternoon getting as much painting done to the new Rhino & squad to act as bodyguard for my Warsmith

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08583_zps8c2ea76a.jpg

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08584_zps8d1442f9.jpg

 

So I've got 3x Iron Warriors.  Two of them from this new squad & a IW arm with Autocannon, along with the crew memeber for the Rhino to build up.
I'm going to spend Friday late afternoon converting these models.  I need them ready by the weekend & get the metal phase painted on them.  Just this is general the slow part & while it is more my weather with the cold (I don't re-act well toward heat, general hate hot weather).  The wash are a lot slower to dry.  So want to get that part of the painting done during the weekend.  Mean during next week it a lot easyer to paint them & so I'm not stress out on Friday the day before the event still painting in the late hours.

 

 

Part arrive today for Lheorvine Ukris from Talon of Horus

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08588_zps5c13f881.jpg

So should have a update hopeful by the weekend for the Predator.  It will be a pretty busy week & a bit with the event next week that my wargaming club.

Your stuff looks awesome. Couple of questions:

 

1) How do you get your Chaos Stars on the shoulderpads to come out so well? I find the curve of the pad always screws me up when I try anything that fine.

 

2) How do you do your Rhinos? Are they Hunters with the Forge World spaced armour?

Thanks for the comment

 

1 - I've just done a quick drawing/step by step guide when I got home there

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08592_zpsc1b84d6d.jpg

 

1 - Start by painting two lines in a cross.

2 - Add the other cross, given you start of that Chaos icon

3A - Paint a circile (sp).  If you want 3B: paint a dot in the middle

4 - Paint the tips of the arrows

5 - If you've painted the middle part, then paint base coat of the shoulder pad so it two circle in the star.

6 - Depend how you want with the Chaos Icon painting wise.  Highlight it.

 

You can always tidy up useing the basecoat/colour you've painted your shoulder pads.

 

Just felt it was better doing this due to camera not really able to get to close for the shoulder pad.

 

Then should look like this

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08593_zpsbfe91eb1.jpg

 

2 - All extra armour plate has been made from plasticard.  I done a NQ to HND model making course back in 2005 to 2008.  I got myself a pretty decent supplay of plasticard from 0.5mm to 1mm.  College teacher where alright with this & usely joke about it.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/IWRhino_zps8256e044.jpg

 

I use the Rhino to give me the template.  Draw out on plasticard, make sure it all ok & then cut out.  Just I do like Forge World once, but with the plasticard allow me to add my own stuff or the back part are diffrent.  Then use plastic tubes for the space.

I use 1mm to give the armour strength & then 0.5mm plasticard, it easyer to cut & get any design you want.

 

For the Hunter version, make sure the plastic tube/armour line up & add liquid (sp?) green stuff to fill in any gaps.  There should be a photo back in Septemeber when I done the first conversion last year for Throne of Skulls.  If I can find it I'll add

 

Update

 

With my wargaming club event next week - Stirling wargamer: Rapid Fire.  It pretty much working solid to get all new models fully painted for the event.

Just every year October just seem to be a really busy year on pretty much everything in my life.  This week no differant. 

 

So here how the new unit looking with there Rhino transport

There still a bit of work to get done before the Predators model finish.  I mange to get a hour spare when I got back home today, get some painting done. 

I should be getting the Forge World weather powder done tomorrow along with the new Rhino.

 

 

My next Call of Chaos - Maulerfiend.  I've got a few idea I want to do conversion wise.  As always to give the model a sub theme, it own history.

I've been talking to B&C memeber Vlâdvar The Destroyer over on facebook about the conversion he done for his Maulerfiend which use some great parts from the Dark Eldar range, not sure if he has it on his great army log, but it really cool & just to use some element that & I got a lot of other idea to really make this a monster of night-mare, that would bring fear to those defend there forts or trench.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08598_zps2d5153c3.jpg

 

One of the squad I'm taken to my wargaming club - Stirling wargamer: Rapid Fire event, needed a new Autocannon model & with lack of BFG parts   I though I'd use some part to tie in a little with the Iron Havocs I converted a while back.

After Rapid Fire, the Autocannon arm Battle Brother will be re-place in another unit, the new Breacher unit show in this update.  But for now he quicly helping another unit for the event.

 

So as said going be pretty busy getting as much done for Rapid Fire.  Then I'm going to quickly take Monday 27th as a quick break as a PS3 day?, possible spend the time converting up the Maulerfiend by late afternoon - just need to see if one of the people attending Rapid Fire has spare part from the Dark Eldar kits.

 

Edit - Just added note for myself to rememeber.  For the Chaos Lord, if Sevatar model not release during the time of Call of Chaos, I think I'll try convert a Chaos era Moritat - Just from what I've seen in the Heresy era they look cool & some of the conversion I've seen have been really cool & inspiring.

If Sevatar model is release during this time.  As said I'm bring back one of the Champion from Warsmith Aborred Riddick bodyguards & have them theme around Siege Breaker.

Update

+Call of Chaos+

I just spent a bit of time (7pm-8pm) painting the Predators tank for my Iron Warriors. I just need to add gloss varnish to the light & glass area of the model.

None Call of Chaos model

Iron Warriors for the new Breacher squad all converted up yesterday. Useing shield from a old model that got replace last year when I converted up the first unit

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08606_zpsd59f0aa1.jpg

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08607_zpsccb32b52.jpg

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08608_zps79544849.jpg

The pose/look of the model was inspired by the photos in the White Dwarf a year or so ago when it shown a mock up of the breacher from the FW studio. Back then, that when I knew I'd have to add a unit (now two) of them in my army.

So this model currently undercaoted & will be painted on Wed, ready for the battle ahead this weekend that Stirling wargamer Rapid Fire.

While adding the Forge World weather powder to the tanks yesterday. I though I would take some quick photos & just how I use it. There many diffrent ways, but this is the way I use it for my tanks in my Iron Warriors army.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08602_zpscf7df510.jpg

If you unsure which weather powder to go to. Talk to the memeber of Forge World staff. I found back when I was useing this a few year ago that they where very helpful. The FW staffer also recommend the type of powder that would tie in with my army base on the colour I use for my paints.
I usely mix the three weather powder I have.

Like wise I usely buy a few of the FW weather powder when I'm down in Nottingham for a Throne of Skulls event in Warhammer World.

Always use a bit of A4 paper. This is just to keep the work area clean & mean any left over FW weather powder will not go to weaste & can be re-use. I'm still useing the FW weather powder I bought back in 2012 to this day & only nearly empty after useing it on 20+ Iron Warriors tanks & a few Dreadnought, Chaos Knight, Ravenwing army, Space Wolves tanks.

When apply the weather powder, use a medium dry brush. Just it give you more control

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08603_zps9773dc88.jpg

As said left over can go back into the pot.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08604_zps223337fa.jpg

So the three weather powder I use base on the way I've painted my base. I use MIG pigmint fixer to seal the powder in. This is done before apply each layer. So each time you apply weather powder, apply the pigming fixer over each layer.

Also be careful for health & safty. When I use the MIG pigmint fixer, I general have a dusk mask (also when working with the FW weather powder) on & a fan on the go. Just make sure to read the health & safty part.

I bought the MIG pigmint fixer from a model store in Edinburgh. Like the weather powder this last for a long time, I've had this one same time as my orignaly FW weather powder. I do have another tub of the stuff I bought last year but it not been open yet.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08605_zps5c4bcfa7.jpg

I usely apply the MIG pigmit fixer all that once during the first two layer. But after that I'll pick side of the models & apply the fixer, let that dry & then move onto the other. Just it like a shade in term it'll be all runny. So want it to dry on a flat side of the model & so none of it running down from the model

Also useing the box lid as a safe place. Just again health & safty, your not meant to get any of the pigming fixer on you that any time.

When apply the fixer I use the Games Workshop wash brush. I've got a spare water pot I use for wash my brush so it don't effet my standard pot of water I use for painting.

You need about 3 layer to get a strong weather look from my experince.

Other notes

Lheor Ukris - Just waiting on a Heavy Bolter part to arrive to convert my vision of Lheor Ukris from Talons of Horus novel. I'm looking forward to this & as said would be just for painting more than anything else.

Maulerfiend - Hopeful going to talk to a few people that my wargaming club who collect Dark Eldar so I can get the bits I need for the conversion. After talk to memeber Vl Edited October 20, 2014 by Insane Psychopath

Nice use of the powders, man. I use Secret Weapon brand, myself.
