Thanks

 

Just started painting my second unit of Terminators, my last unit for 1500pts list. Still got a bit to go before they are fully finish & been working a little bit on the banner today as well.

Also some more bits have arrive for my 250pts element that I will be adding soon.

 

Look like my Iron Warriors will be seeing a game on Fri as well as Sat. For Fri game I think I'll try take my camera so I can take photos of each unit & the army overall as well as some in game photos.

So right now it just the 4x Terminators & Object marker for my 1500pts force for Throne of Skulls. Also need to get the Banners for the squad sorted & any detail I may have miss.

Future plans after adding the 250pts element to make 1750pts list - 5x Chaos Marines & a further 2x Obliterators. I'll be looking into converting a Dreadnought, a unit of Chosen theme on the Fallen Angels for one off bigger games for time to time. Possible look into the Forge World Chaos Guard models to "count as" Daemons, I've recently being re-play Space Marine for the PS3 for some idea's.

 

The game vs my friend was great & it was good battle the Necrons. I loss by Kill points but I leanrt a lot, I'm looking forward to my friend Mk2 Necron force, which he'd shown some of the models he been working on so far.

Hopeful have a game sorted tomorrow as I belive the Blood Angel oppent I fought on 31st Dec is wanting a re-match. Just right now I been focuse on getting the IW fully painted, but now with a few months to go, going to try get a few more games by my local GW store, gaming club & try sort out my own gaming table & terrain for games in the house.

These I like! Half of the picts are missing though, I feel I am missing out :(

 

Nice painting and converting, and you have a definite direction with the army (something which I always lack) and they really look well as a cohesive force. My faves are the autocannon/assault cannon conversion (simple yet effective), the crucified marines execution (!!) and Riddick himself; I love that model and you have done him justice.

 

Excellent plog ;)

[The.Latros.Sacrum]

Ive been following this army log for a while so now I thought I would finally add my two pence worth.... Amazing!

 

(C'mon, you dont get much for two pence these days right? ;))

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jokes aside now, Your Iron Warriors are truly brilliant. The freehand work on the banner is staggering, how long did it take you to finish that banner alone? My favourite among your work here has got to be the DIY Obliterators, top stuff!

Thanks, with the photos seem Photobucket given up. It wired I not use that account since Dec? I been useing the one you can see the current photos more yet that not given up. Give it a week or so, should be ok then. The next update will most like be when the army is fully painted which I am aim for the 25th Feb as part my painting pledge for my local GW store & a good way to make 25 year of Warhammer 40k.

 

The freehand work on the banner is staggering, how long did it take you to finish that banner alone?

 

Dosen't take to long. There still to be finish, there a lot more work to be done. But the basic stuff was done during my hour & a half hobby time I have later in the day, usely around 7.30pm to 9pm. Just trying to have a balance with painting for other, then real life stuff & then my own time.

While I painted some chaos star for a friend few week ago on there Chaos Guards took 30 min's.

 

But still lot more work to be done before these banner are finish.

 

Obliterators - There more to come, as said for 250pts I am aim on two more for the fire support. While I have Autocannons, these are more "depend the army" I fight against. Take my Wolves for exsample where they are mounted in Razorback. Throne of Skulls all my tanks where immobile on turn 1, so this allowed me to give fire support vs the Guards.

But I alway tend to be on the move & wanting to get into close combat. So Obliterators are my only real solid fire support. So 1750pts add two more. Got a few idea for them & have been gather bits. Just right now lack of money toward the hobby has slow down progress right now, but I need to focuse on my 1500pts force & I got some stuff for my Space Wolves that need to be done for a event I'll be going to a few week before Throne of Skulls April.

Update

 

Yesterday my Iron Warriors fought there 6th game of 40k since this new version of the army. They where against Sholto (David) Deathwing army last night that my local wargaming club - Stirling wargamers. It was a really great game & very close, belive in the end it was 9 v 7 Kill points for myself. But before that just count the Kill points mental it was hard call with the gaming going back & forward, it was really down to the finial turns. It games like these I really enjoy & why I really like 5th ed. No one hide, everone committed there army to a "do or die" as one of my friends put it when ever we fought during a tournament back in 2008.

Also it was really great as everthing was battle it out until the bitter end. Nothing held back, nothing hide whole game.

 

Sholto will be write a battle report when time permits. But for now he took a few photos of my Iron Warrior army after our game

 

http://incunabulum.co.uk/blog/2012/02/10/a...-iron-warriors/

 

I've still got a fair bit to finish.

 

Just my Unit of Terminators need the base done, I'll be spend tomorrow that my local Gw store painting Object marker. Then there thing like the Black Templar on my Warsmith base I'll need to finish off in the future. But right now I got a lot of thing on the go. Also I got two week until the 25th the dead line of my local GW store painting pledge, so there no worries. Also got a Space Marine Captain to paint up for the 25th as well as part of the store painting comp.

 

Also one week from tomorrow & hopeful the Iron Warriors Omnibus will be release. Even though I got Storm of Iron & the limited ed IW novel. There a lot of short stories I look forward & find out Honsou future.

There was lot more. I've still got to get around to name my Champions as well, just waiting to get the Iron Warrior Omnibus when that is release.

 

Update

 

Recently I've made one new Iron Warrior Marine who will be replace a model in Squad 1 - Iupatus Proeliator. This happen from time to time with a army I take to tournament, update the odd model here & there. Just new idea to try out, maybe why I like to convert my armies & never been a fan of building models from the kit alone.

 

Basicly I'm trying out the Citadel Liquid Green Stuff on the T face bezerker helmet. My sculpting abiltiy is not the greatess, basicly I can not sculpt that all. As much as I would like to learn how to sculpt, there no one around here who can teach me.

So when it come to conversion, I tend to alway try make useing green stuff limited or not use it that all prefferible. However it dose limit some idea I have, that I would like to try out.

Just I alway been a fan of armour, from the diffrent desgin like Lord of the Ring, anyone with the exstended DVD can see all the work behind the idea of Sauron armour for exsample. Or the Space Marine for the computer, the multi player allowing you to use diffrent armour for your Marine for on-line gaming.

 

But thanks to GW release Citadel Liquid Green Stuff, I am able to get a small % of these idea done. Hopeful the photos show it. I've try to add a Chaos Star around the T face plate area of the helmet. Just plasticard to thick, while the Citadel Liquid Green Stuff give it the right depth & you can just paint on more with out it looking to cartoony/to over the top

 

Note - Right now the sitting room/space I take my normal photos is current being painted up. So photos space has been my painting stastion. So if photos are funny it'll just be due to the way the light are

I'll try get some better photos once the sitting room free.

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04723.jpg

 

I've alway had the idea to try this out. Orignaly done some art work base on my Warsmith before he became a Daemon Prince. Part of that was back in my NQ leval (first year) of college where on of our project was to make a 1:1 scale head gear, this was back in 2005.

I went ahead to make a Iron Warrior helmet useing a Biker helmet

 

This was the helmet made back in college in my first year & first project I got to bring my hobby into the college course. I took part in a NQ to HND model making course so I could use skills from the college with my hobby, hopeful join the hobby team down in Warhammer World in the future.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/DSC00198.jpg

 

So I try to use the above model to test out some idea. I really like useing the Citadel Liquid Green Stuff & I will be useing this in the future to try out other idea on my Iron Warriors force.

It not just for fill in gaps, Citadel Liquid Green Stuff great for trying stuff like this out. I am going to try finish my Ultramarine army, use this on the shoulder pads for the Ultra icon.

For me it just help out a lot, as said my skill to sculpt is very limited.

 

Also on the new Iron Warrior. After the game against Sholto (David) on Thur, I though be cool to add a Raven Wing helmet. As said all trophies tend to be base on armies I fought over the past ten years or those in my local GW store/club.

I think Sholto Raven Wing are the first RW force my Iron Warriors have ever fought as well.

 

Also if you notice the clear plastic rod on the Iron Warrior base & a skull on the base next to the Iron Warrior. This will be a servo skull that I'll be adding onto this model. I still want to get around to convert up some servo skulls & adding some though out the army. Just think there cool & just for fighting in a trench, it a good way to keep a eye out, know what around the next bit/when to get ready to fire.

 

That it for now. I am current re-base two Terminators from my second unit. Was not happy with how the dead Templars where looking. So the base have been re-done & looking a lot cooler, also make use of the Vampire Counts Skeleton Warriors I've been buying over the past few months for this Iron Warriors army.

 

Game wise - Look like my Iron Warriors have a re-match against Orks Mech force.

Looks great IP, i'm still getting to grips with the old Liquid greenstuff so impressed with that detail work there!

 

Also, cool helmet, heretical, but cool!

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

That Sholto battle report now up on his blog

 

http://incunabulum.co.uk/blog/2012/02/14/4...rriors-1500pts/

 

Edit - Note there a little mistake on the army list. The unit in this list do add to my 1500pts. Just forgotten to edit the Obliterators point cost, pretty much my 1750pts list was the only one I found, edit to my 1500pts (less Obliterators) & forgotten to change points. THe point cost should be 150pts for the unit of 2x Obliterators not 220, while the single Obliterators are 75pts, not 150pts.

So again it is my proper 1500pts list, just forgetten to edit the list from 1750pts down to 1500pts

 

IW front - Just tidy up some models right now. Adding Chaos Rune to my power weapons, getting everthing ready for the 25th Feb deadline for my local GW store painting pledge.

Thanks. With the "rumour" Chaos Marine codex due out later this year. There a lot of stuff I want to try out & a lot of other Legion I am looking into collecting in the future. See what else can be done with the Liquid Green stuff.

Update time

 

Time running short. As said I'm aim to paint what ever left in my Iron Warriors 1500pts force for the 25th Feb as part of my local GW store painting pledge. As said in past update, from time to time I replace a few models due to new idea, trying to make the army that bit cooler & that what happen since the last update....... :)

How else will I know if a idea will work or not :)

 

First up, I mange to get the Iron Warrior from the last update with the Raven Wing trophie. He now fully painted

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04741.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04742.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04743.jpg

 

I went for gold on the Chaos star on the face plate. Just the other T face bezerker helmet I have, before trying out this idea. They all have silvier to show battle damnge & just to help with the yellow/black/to show the T face area of the helmet. So went for Gold on this model so he would stand out from those who have battle damnge. Other wise they will clash & when people are check out the army, they will not notice/think all T face helmet in the army are the same if this make sence.

 

One of the new replcment, I mange to get a few more Forge World Red Scorpain (sp?) Honour Guard helmets, they fit in really well with the Iron Warriors look

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04744.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04745.jpg

 

Then another who make use of the FW helmets

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04746.jpg

 

I also found a Iron Hands bionic leg left over from a past conversion. Though it would be good to try convert the Chaos leg with some of the bionics bits

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04747.jpg

 

Then another Iron Warrior who useing the liquied green stuff on the T face plate on the helmet. Also a friend was recently asking me about 40k tournament & he remind me that I needed to add few White Scar helmets base on his army from back when we use to battle in 2005.

Terminators

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04750.jpg

 

The base are brand new. Just the orignaly once, the dead Black Templars did not look right in my view. So re-base the two Terminators & preffer how these base have turn out.

 

Also I mange to finish the Terminator unir a few days ago while in my local GW store

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04751.jpg

 

I really like useing the GW turft grass. It best to use super glue on these & then varnish the model. Just it help the turft, just from the glue & then the varnish drying. Also like useing the GW water effect on the base, just shame they are no longer sold in store?

 

Here my Object marker

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04752.jpg

 

Happy how they turn out. I'll need to tidy up the Templar icon on the shoulder pads in the future, also would not mind adding a bit more to them, useing codex Armageddon for idea's.

 

I've also recently replace one of the Rhino hatch (squad 2) due to feeling the icon was a bit off & because I found a really cool Chaos Icon I wanted to use

 

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04754.jpg

 

To save time, I save the image & then scale it down to the right size to fit onto the Rhino hatch. When it come to make icon. Some are drawn from scratch, all the size mark out, etc... But some time if there a temp, it worth useing this. As said there I use a Chaos star icon I found & this help save time scale it down to the right size for the hatch. Just use double side tape to tack the paper onto the plasticard

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04755.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04756.jpg

 

Happy how this turn out & that I never use a ruler once, all cutting was done by eye follow the image on the paper. Though when cutting with plasticard, more so someone useing plasticard for the first time. I highly suggest useing a flat metal ruler when cutting.

 

Space Wolves - I'm adding a few models to my Space Wolves. The undercaoted model is going to be a new Wolf Guard Battle leader. The Wolf Priest is there purely to try copy the image on his shoulder pad onto the Wolf Guard. Belive I have over 3000pts fully painted of Space Wolves, only this Wolf Guard Battle Leader is not painted up.

 

Iron Warriors - So over the next few days during my own hobby time I will be busy getting these Iron Warrior finish for this weekend. I'll be aim to get another army photo on the Sat 3rd of March, with units by unit photo.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04753.jpg

 

As for the 250pts, that slow getting done. Just gather some bits. I should hopeful have a update showing the 5x Chaos Marine unit. While the Obliterators I'll need to wait & try get a mail order place to get Bile backpack.

I've also bought a box of Dark Angels a few days ago which I'm aim to make into Fallen Angels. After all the Bile backpack also come with 4x Cypher backpack, be a shame not to use them & just somthing to paint more than anything else & to plan out my future Fallen Angels force (new "rumour" codex chaos permitting?)

 

Also the Iron Warriors 5th Grand Company saw battle against Orks on Thur. Ended in a draw as the game went onto turn 7, 5 object. Belive there was only 4 Orks left alive out of 60, while I only had a 10 man Chaos unit hold a object. Had a Rhino contesting the Ork object unit it went onto turn 7 doh!

Should be battle Daemons soon, been a while (ToS July 2011) since I fought Daemons.

While not a Iron Warrior, it still power armour. I converted up Uriel for the painting comp my store was holding today with it being the 25 years

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04802.jpg

 

I use the Red Scorpains Honour Guard/Librarian kit for the armour & shoulder pads, while the head came from my bit box. The Sword is a finecast Emperor Champion. Not sure how he done in the painting comp as I had to leave. I did however win the "paint a Space Marine in 25 mins" painting comp, the Marine I painted for that comp took me a mere 5 mins to paint, 20 mins for the paint to dry, only allowed to use 5 paints which was given to us randomly.

 

On to the Iron Warriors

 

+ Mail order has been place for the Bile Backpack to convert up my Obliterators. So this will arrive Sat next week which will be good timeing

+I'm hope to build my 5 Chaos marine unit tomorrow night so they are ready for painting this Wed/when I go to my local GW store.

+ Try get Fallen Angels made so that somthing to paint/just look cool.

 

After that, I'll add bits here & there from the FW Chaos Guards for exsample to "count as" Daemons for those once off big games I'll have from time to time. Then I guess it pretty much waiting for the "rumour" codex Chaos to be release.

The fifth memeber will be built once I pick up a few parts tomorrow.

 

Also hopeful got some close up of the blood splatter one Unit 3, as said useing the idea from Space Marine the Computer game to try show this unit slow going down to the path of khorne, but not all out yet like the World Eater, my unit still make use of Heavy & Specil weapons & know when to hold there ground/object

Finial the two Obliterators to bring my 1500pts force to 1750pts

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04828.jpg

 

My mail order should arrive on Sat, Bile backpack (come with cypher as well) for the arm parts. Not sure which heavy weapons I will arm the models with, just need to search my bit boxies to see what will look cool!

 

I'll also need to look into adding a 13th Company trophie, as one of my friends has started 13th Company for ToS Oct & might possible have some Chaos armour base on my Iron Warriors like the helmets.

 

Iron Warriors should be battle Daemons on Thur as well & then it look like I got another re-match against the Blood Angels on Sat. Hopeful try get some better army photos & unit by unit photos as well on Sat before the game.

Update

 

First up, it has been a little slow on the Iron Warriors force. Past two weeks I suffer from a virus which just led to me haveing a headace during those two weeks, but thankful it clear up now. That least it was not like the virus I had back in Oct/Dec which lasted for two months. Virus are the bane of my life ;)

I am getting back on track to get my Iron Warriors up to 1750pts fully paints, along with any other new models for my force.

 

I'm trying out the liquid green stuff once more to get some diffrent armour desgin on the Terminator. I always like the Chaos Terminators since I started the hobby fifteen year ago & it was great seen these models made into platic. However I am not to keen on the current body for the Terminator set, apart from the Chaos Lord one which you'll notice I use a fair bit.

I though be cool to get try out some green stuff on the Imperial Terminator armour

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04852.jpg

 

Right now this is only the first coat of liqud green stuff. I'll need to add another one tomorrow before I undercaot the model & then see how it gose after the wash stage if more green stuff need added to give it that right depth.

 

Also here the two Obliterators that will be part of my 1750pts force, along with the small Chaos Marine squad I shown in the last update

With this one I wanted to show the Plasma Cannon had just shot/re-charge after fire, as why the sort of bit come out of the Plasma Cannon (from the IoB Skaven Lord?).

On Fri my Forge World order arrive with the Raven Guard Captain (head use to convert the Terminator model show above) & Chaos brass etch. I though I would use the brass etch on my Capture & control object marker as I was not to happy with the IW icon I made out of plasticard & then the free hand painted Chaos icon. So though be cool to try the FW Brass etch

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04860.jpg

 

I am happy with this & the brass etch has given it little depth & just look really cool.

 

Also with the banner, I been thinking of idea to make it look really cool. Just this is my army standard, a banner that been with the 5th Grand Company since the crusade & during the heresy era.

So I been check out the front cover art work for Codex Eye of Terror, if I can get this to work it pretty much

 

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

 

I'm wanting to have a warp/galaxy & then a few planets starting to break apart, die from the power of chaos. Hopeful a friend will be shown me how to get a galaxy effect on the banner. As I been trying out few galaxy effect, but nothing working :(

 

Also I re-done the Icon of Glory banners for my normal squad as I think the FW brass etch is really cool

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04862.jpg

 

These have just been re-painted, there still a lot to be done like the Chaos Rune to be re-paints on. So should hopeful get these done tomorrow afternoon.

 

While not Iron Warriors, these are still Space Marines :D Though be cool to show some other models

 

Hopeful a clear photos of Uriel Ventris from the 4th Company of Ultramarines

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04866.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04871.jpg

 

With the second wave release of Space Wolves, I will be aim on adding another 1500pts to my current Space Wolves force. Hopeful will have a topic on this once the army started. This one is going to be a pure Wolves force eg: Fenris Wolves & Thunder Wolves. It will mean I will have over 5000pts of Space Wolves with 3x diffrent force (Tournament, Wolf Wing & pure Wolves).

But until then I am replace a few Wolf Guard Terminators in my Wolf Wing force, useing some of the new parts from the Thunder Wolves kit

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04868.jpg

 

You can see the rest of my Space Wolves by looking through past topics from my tournament force, to my Wolf Wing force which I collected 2010 Christmas. Yes there a lot of Space Hulk terminators parts use in the conversion.

 

On the Iron Warriors - There still a lot to be done. There the Fallen Angels unit I still got to get converted & painted & then there a few new Iron Warriors models to be built once some more bits arrive (FW Honour Guard helmets). I also got just over a month until my Iron Warriors will be attend there first tournament since 2009.

 

I'm also thinking of place another order for the Chaos Brass etch to add onto my Rhinos.

Also gaming side my Iron Warriors (overall since 2004) have hit game 600 just a week ago against Imperial Guards to get some practise for Throne of Skulls April.

By the dark gods!

It warms my black heart to see such spectacularly painted Iron Warriors.

 

+++Mr.M+++

[teku]

like Mr. Malevolent says awesome Iron Warriors! The Space Wolves also look very nice! Love the Icon you did on the banners :lol:

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks

 

Just place another order with Forge World for the brass etch. Also have some weather powder in that order which I'd like to try out on my Rhinos. Only thing is I need to find a place that sell MIG pigment fixer? to seal the Forge World weather powder, so hopeful a model/art store in Glasgow will sell this.

Also if anyone use the weather powder feel free to give me any tips in general when useing the powder.

 

The brass etch. Just after getting a set last week there, I really like the icon & would like to now add some onto my Rhinos. So try to fit them onto the back right area of the Extra Armour & be cool to have them fit around the bullet holes I have in that area of extra armour.

So hopeful get this part done during next weekend once my order arrive.

 

Today get that Terminator finish & the fifth squad memeber for my five Chaos Space Marine unit for 1750pts list so they can be painted this Wed that my local GW store.

 

On a side note I really recommend that any hobbiest should get the Forge World model masterclass book

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Modelling-Supp...VOLUME-ONE.html

 

One of the best book to have & looking forward to the day Forge World release the next book.

Quick update.

 

First up, just place a FW order for some more brass etch, the icon are just really cool. I've also got a few FW weather powder in this order as well, not sure which once I just ask to FW staffer to put in once that they think would suit my army, I just said how my model where base. Just a few friends have suggested I try FW weather powder & this will be the first time for me. These will purely only be use on my Rhinos (or any tanks in the future). I just need to get around to pick up MIG pigment fixer, which I been told a new model store in Glasgow might sell or fail that a friend said about how to get this.

 

I look forward to useing the weather powder. As said part of this was from suggestion from friends on the Thur while I was painting my IW/tidy them up that my wargaming club & also from what I seen in the FW Model Masterclass book!.

If it all work out then I will have a bit about this & general tips I found useful.

 

On to the Iron Warriors side of things.

 

I spent today that my local GW store just getting the new Terminator painted, also once again I found myself quick replace a model with a new version, this being a IW arm with melta gun.

New Melta arm model for unit No2

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04883.jpg

 

I really like useing the Eavy Metal medium for the paint/mix for the shaven hair. Really hope GW release this soon :)

 

Also I added some Blood splatter on the Autocannon arm Iron Warrior from my third unit. As said with this unit I wanted to show them slow going down the path of Khorne, but only starting so they not thrown away there Heavy & Specil weapons just yet. I just felt it was odd that the Autocannon arm model was the only model to be clean/no blood on him.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04876.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04877.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04878.jpg

 

The idea is, someone ran up to attack him or the Autocannon arm model in close combat basicly. He punch the oppent & then use his right elbow to knock the oppent back. With the oppent fallen back from this attach, the Autocannon IW useing his Autocannon that point blank range to shot apart this oppent.

Like the Space Marine computer game, when you rip off that Heavy Weapon & a Ork/Chaos attack you, you can kick them back & then fire the heavy weapon into them. If that make sence.

 

So just tie in with the unit since the third IW unit has blood splater onto them, useing the Space Marine the computer game for this idea.

 

That it for now. Hope my FW order arrive before the end of this week, then as said just need to pick up MIG pigment fixer which I been recommend to use to seal in the FW weather powder. I got a few thing I'll be working on for the IW & hopeful get the extra 250pts element shown a while back all finish up as a order for bits just arrive this moring to help finish off a 5x Chaos Marine squad.

Also still need to get around to make my Fallen Angels unit.

Your Iron Warriors are awesome buddy! Liking the idea for the Liquid Green Stuff as well. May have to get some to give that a go.

Your Iron Warriors are awesome buddy! Liking the idea for the Liquid Green Stuff as well. May have to get some to give that a go.

 

It worth a go. As said my sculpting ability is very limited. Liquid green stuff has allowed me that small % of that least trying out idea I alway had when it came to converting Chaos Space Marines.

The T face Bezerker helmet is a fine exsample where I use the liquid green stuff to make the Chaos star for the face plate.

 

But I'd still like to learn how to sculpt :unsure: One skill I'd alway like to try out as there many other idea, just sadily can not do them for the time being. Just right now I use green stuff to bulk up my base to give them depth

 

Not just for Chaos, but for normal Marine or Banner be great to doing icons on there. But you will need a few coat of the liqud green stuff. Even when getting to the wash stage, I had to keep adding to the detail I already done.

Update

 

My Forge World order arrive on Friday there with the weather powder & another set of the Forge World brass etch.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04884.jpg

 

The weather powder I got are - Dark Sand, Light Earth & Grey Ash, which the FW staff memeber recommend after I exsplain the paints I use to base my Iron Warriors force. I should hopeful be picking up some MIG pigment fixer in a week time, which I been told great for seal in the weather powder.

 

As said if anyone who use the weather powder before have any tips, be welcome. Not sure if I'd have them in layer darker going to light or mix up the powder? I'll be trying this out on a old model before putting any of the weather powder on my IW rhinos.

 

While my Iron Warriors force 1500pts is fully painted. Some times it good to go back, add some more detail just to make the army that bit cooler & that what I been doing since yesterday, make some changies & adding some bits

 

Recent I been re-check the art work from the limited ed Iron Warrior novel Black Library where selling a few years ago

http://www.blacklibrary.com/all-products/Iron-Warrior.html

 

I notice on the Newborn had a cool Iron Warriors icon in white over the metal armour plate & also that himself & Cadaras Grendel had some rune which I though be cool as letter use on Olympia before the heresy. So been adding these to my IW rhinos, along with the FW brass etch

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04886.jpg

 

I'll be adding a little bit more chip effect to the IW skull but not to much. Idea just to show the planet, weather, etc.. My Iron Warriors are not ment to be brand new, want them to look bloody, chip, battle for a good few weeks, months or year?

 

Adding brass etch to my finish Rhinos to help add further detail. I cut up the brass etch to fit around the bullet holes

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04887.jpg

 

I felt my free hand painted Chaos Icon where a little bit off after adding all these new detail to the Rhino. So once again useing some brass etch, the bigger on for my Army Icon/my IW Grand Company Undivided mark

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04889.jpg

 

Just fitting on the squad number on the Rhino side door there, again take idea from the Iron Warriors limited ed novel art work on Honsou, the new born & Cadaras Grendel

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04893.jpg

 

Still a few more detail to get on. I'm needing to re-paint the squads Rune where the Mark of Undivided is on the Rhino door. Looking that the newborn armour for more rune/letter to use on the squad unit area/door. I think ToS April will be the time when my 1500pts IW force is fully complete.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04894.jpg

 

Hopeful this week I will be painting the last squad memeber for my 5x Chaos Marine unit for my 1750pts. Also I might be replace the Icon bearer from Squad one due to a new conversion idea I got in mind for the Chaos Marine.

Also the Fallen Angels as well, get them built this week & try get some time to paint them.

The brass etch symbols look great. Ive never really been a fan of the Iron Warriors but I love these.
