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

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

 

The Hydra (Daemon2027?).  Thanks for the comment.  Just Iron Warriors are my favrout army & somthing I want to spend time looking cool.  Just conversion main reason for me to collect any army.  With the IW like everything about the legion & always somthing new I want to add.  With the trophies, just though be cool & good way to rememeber some great games or to wind up friends.

There a lot more models going to be added soon, as well as finial getting my Wolves back up to date with the release of the codex this year.

 

Yep, that me, shed my skin

I look forward to the future of your army. Hopefully we will see some Iron Warrior Forge World kits soon, give you more material to create with.

 

 

Yes, pretty much as soon as Forge World release the Iron Warriors conversion kits.  It will be added to my army.  If they ever release the Tyrant Siege Terminators, I want to add the models toward my unbound army.

 

I really want to try create a unit of Chosen theme around the Stor-Bezashk as well.  I did create a unit of Chaos Marines, but I feel I can push this a bit further & just see Chosen as more fitting for them.  I've also got spare weapon from the Hunter kit after building one for my friend Space Marine army last year to convert up as another Havoc luncher.

 

But pretty much when the conversion kits are being release, I will be adding more these into my army as well.  So hopeful hear or see something soon as I believe Horus Heresy weekender next month?

 

Call of Chaos - So it been pretty bad weather over the past 24 hours with the snow.  Seem like today best day just to get the last three models painted for Call of Chaos :D

The whole lot for Call of Chaos

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC09156_zpsb3d25ff3.jpg

 

I've enjoyed Call of Chaos & seen a lot of cool models by other memeber from this forum :D

 

Looking back - Gutted I was not able to get the servo arm sorted for my Chosen Rhino, but that somthing I can use in the future & plan out a bit better.
Maulerfiend, had to re-convert the face for the model but it got there in the end than it orignaly did.

I was useing Call of Chaos to add some new models to my Iron Warriors. 

 

Next update

 

- Mayhem pack:  Already talk about.  Right now wanting to get the unit ready soon.  Wanting to base the pack leader around Warsmith Berossus.

- Bezerker:  Nod back to the Index Astarties days & Bezerker are cool.  Theme wise I want them be Siege bezerker, sort like Urik hai sort of when you see them that the siege of helm's deep.

- Knight:  Want to try convert a Siege theme knight.  This might possible led to a Knight army for me.

- Chosen.  I want to try get a really cool Stor-Bezashk theme.  I did try a unit back 2013, but I feel I can push this bit further.  I'm going to wait & hope Forge World release some cool Iron Warriors kits in the near future for this.

- Terminators:  Again waiting to see if FW release the Tyrant Siege Terminators in the future & convert them.

- Fallen Angels:  I try making a Fallen Angels army last year but that stop when codex Space Wolves where release.  So I think try get the unit I've started & add them to my army as part of Cypher formation instead.

- Kill team:  Pretty much add more models to my Chosen I've painted for Call of Chaos for chose in KT games.

 

- Black Legion:  I would like to try get a Black Legion force started & look into having them as a ally force.  Black Legion where my second 40k army when I started the hobby.  With the release of the supplament & then ADB Talon of Horus novel.  This might or might not happen, but I would like to.

 

There been a few other things that be added due to idea.  My Iron Warriors are a long term project.  There my favrout army in the 40k world & I like Chaos Marines for the same reason I started them in 1996 - conversion.  Also the whole background & look to the IW :D

[KrautScientist]

Excellent work on completing your vow, mate! That is quite an achievement! You should be proud of yourself!

 

I am also really looking forward to your assault berzerkers: I've built a similar unit, inspired both by the old, half naked metal models and by Wade Pryce's re-interpretation, although I have yet to paint them. Seeing yours will be a treat, though, because your Leorvhine Ukris was quite a high point of your work for me ;)

Thanks.  Yes was really great finish the vow today.  Just pretty much put on quest for bannockburn documentary that was on last year mark 700th anniversary.  Just painted away.  Varnish the models when the weather was not so bad in the afternoon.

 

Wade model are really cool & one of the many armies I keep checking out for idea.  I've spoke to him that a few Games Day & he a really great person to speak to when asking about his Bezerker.

One of the main things will be useing the Forge World Night Lord Terror squad helmet, there cool & somthing I've like adding to my Iron Warriors & also my Space Wolves army.

 

Mine will still be IW Legion.  Just right now thinking theme them sort like - Death Company are to Blood Angels or Eddie Blood Angel army from Throne of Skulls Novemeber in 2010

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/ToS10/Armies/DSC08083.jpg

 

When I started my IW back in 2001, Bezerker where one of the main units in the army.  Along with the (now) classic Metal Chaos Dreadnought I re-added to my army & Warsmith Abhorred Riddick when he was still mortal.  They took part in Conflict Scotland 2002. 

 

[KrautScientist]

Well, although I'd prefer your zerkers to be red and bronze (for obvious reasons ;) ), I am still confident they'll be awesome! Oh, and if you ever happen to run into Wade again, you'll have to do two things:

 

1. Tell him he's kinda like the patron saint of World Eaters players all over the world (in case he doesn't know yet).

2. ask him to make sure his blog is up and running again, because all those inspirational pictures are sorely missed.

It was just quick hi, who I was & ask if he would sign codex Chaos & WD Auguest for me.  Talk about Chaos Marines, me about IW & him about his World Eater army.  But just Games Day 2013 & the year before that :D

 

Just the World Eater army really cool & always like check out the 6th ed Rule book that the battle scene with them & Christian Bryne Black Legion, as well as Duncan Word Bearer.

Update

 

Just starting work on my second Helbrute for my Mayhem pack

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC09157_zps7d333bd8.jpg

 

He should be fully built by Sunday & ready for painting next week.  I will also try pick up the Mayhem pack leader, try convert him around  Warsmith Berossus in Dead Sky Black Sun & this art work from the last ed codex Chaos base on the 2nd ed era metal model.  So want to try take element of this for the model.

 

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

 

Quote from Dead Sky Black sun so I got a note of this here.

 

 

Augmented and extensively engineered since his interrment, Berossus’s mechanical form towered above the other dreadnoughts of his grand company, his leg assemblies strengthened and widened to allow him to carry heavier and heavier breaching equipment. The dreadnought’s upper body was scarred and pitted, the testament of uncounted sieges engraved on its adamantium shell. One arm bore a mighty, piston-driven siege hammer, the other a monstrous drill ringed with heavy calibre cannons. Four thick, iron arms ending in vicious picks, blades, claws and heavy gauge breachers sprouted from behind Berossus’s sarcophagus and hung ready for use over his armoured carapace. -Dead Sky, Black Sun

 

I'll also start re-reading Angels Exterminatius novel during the weekend.

 

I will also get a Forge World order place during the week.  Part this for the Berossus conversion, along with few bits I need for my Space Wolves & also to get the start of my Rapier unit (Imperial Armour 13) to start a Stor-Bezashk detachment to my Grand Company.

Can't wait to see what you do with a Berossus style dread.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Can't wait to see what you do with a Berossus style dread.

I'm just woundering how the, Heresy era: Iron Hands Iron Father servo arm would work for the model?

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/The_Horus_Heresy/Legiones_Astartes/Iron_Hands/IRON_HANDS_IRON_FATHER.html

 

While this would also give me the Terminator to add to my Iron Warriors in general.  Just for my unbound force, need to add to my current unit.  He also pretty cool model, I was going to advance order the model last year during Throne of Skulls March.  But just ended up been really busy during the whole event.

[Biohazard]

That could work mate. Or does the Dark Eldar Talos not have some nice bits that can be used as Servo arms?

[Vlâdvar The Destroyer]

That "Forge Chaplain" looks pretty sweet mate For my iron warriors ive called mine an Iron Apostle.police g forward to seeing your dread too!

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks for the comments

Forge Chaplain from Ben Counter short story in Endeavour of Will, from the Architect of Fate novel.  It pretty cool how it describe him, Warsmith Shon'tu & the Obliterators.

I've just pick up a Venrable Dreadnought & Chaos Helbrute box today, so I might start some conversion work tomorrow.  Going to put forward my FW order on Monday for that Iron Hands model & also one of the Guard weapon to rep Rapier, start that unit.  Also need more Chaos Brass etching & Barb wire :D
 

[hushrong]

The forge chaplain is very eye catching! Definitely a great mix of bitz you put to work there!

 

Also, a Berossus inspired dread sounds promising!

Also re-reading Heresy novel Angel Exterminatus for a few idea, also just take note on the Stor-Bezashk for my Rapier unit & future Chosen unit.

 

Space Wolves - Since the codex was release last year I've been getting my Wolves back up & running after few year.  Dreadnought is my Bjorn "count as" - Want to use the model theme around my own Lord.  While the other model will be Wolf Guard.  Both models are needed for a game I have arrange next week.  You can see my Wolves log over here, while no updated as much, I do plan to add lot models over this year

Just waiting on the Forge World order to arrive any time now for the Multi Melta, as well as the part to start work on next Dreadnought.  Also found these from the Necromunda Pit Slaves models I bought last year that a local wargaming event to see if they will work with the next Dreadnought.

Just bought this Knight during the week..........

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC09170_zpsqwnpmzia.jpg

 

The Knight models just really great to build & paint, I've enjoyed building & painting the two I've added to my Iron Warriors force.  I'm still trying work out idea for this Knight, just need to check out the Bloodquest comic book & re-look that the Chaos titian that was part of the Siege of Terra diorama that use to be in Warhammer World, Nottingham.  Pretty much I'd like to try go siege theme for this & have this Knight model as the Warlord if I wanted to use the army as a stand alone.
 

I will be arm this Knight with the Battle Cannon to give me chose gaming wise as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Biohazard]

Another Knight!? great stuff!! The Dreads looking awesome mate I really like the worn metal look. Also the pit slave bits will work really well on some servo arms.

[BrotherJim]

Excellent work as always IP. Congrates on completing your vow.

I think the pit slaves parts would work well for your chosen to help them stand out and be more unique servo arms.

Keep up the great work mate, this thread moves so fast it's more entertaining than watching TV!

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks for the comment. Pit slave part are for the led dreadnought for my mayhem formation :)

Due to only hav only just those part seen in the photo.

 

Yes another knight :) allow me have battle cannon chose and will led to a 1500pt army when I get fourth one in the future. Just try work out conversion idea and get the part soon.

[Biohazard]

Hopefully I'll get to Winter War this year mate and maybe catch sight of this army in the flesh metal. I think the Kirkcaldy gaming club were talking about a trip to Stirling at some point soon as well.

Hoping one of my friends will be able to pick up the model from the Horus Heresy weekender.  If not, then I will have to wait until Throne of Skulls once Warhammer World finish there updates or Warhammer Fest.  Ether way I think he look cool.
Not sure what unit he will led in the future.  I am looking forward to seen what preview will be shown that the Heresy weekender, for me it mainly wanting to see any Iron Warriors conversion kits, Siege Terminators & my Primarch :D
