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

[ThisisJimmy]

Loving the look of the army, all the small conversion and additions make for a more realistic looking army. The brass etch looks amazing on the rhinos, as do the rhinos themselves. Goo luck trying out the weathering powders, I will be very interested to see how they come out

[Dosjetka]

As always, spectacular conversions and painting. Your attention to detail is amazing too B)

 

What's coming next?

Update

 

First up the two models - Terminator & Melta arm IW I shown in the update before the Rhinos are now finish

I really like useing the GW truft grass for the base & will be make use of this in future projects. Really recommend the truft, best to super glue them onto the base & then varnish the models, it look a lot diffrent once this has been done/not to flat.

 

As said during the process of making my Iron Warriors force. Once I am near finish, I tend to look though my army ether replace models or adding bits. This is purely because of new cool idea to be honsty, to try stuff like the liqud green stuff for exsample or the brass etch I use on my Rhinos or the Obliterators when you see Mk1 version vs the current Mk2's.

 

With this being the case, recently some models have had a little change.

 

One of the Terminators from the second unit. Pretty much I was not happy with the orignaly Terminator body. So I replace this with a new one body area (arms & legs are still part of the orignaly model)

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04905.jpg

 

The Chaos icon on the Terminator body came from the recent release WFB Chaos sorcerer (sp?). While I got some more Forge World Honour Guard helmets bits recent as well.

I'm happy with how the Salamander Helmet turn out. As said all my trophies are base on the armies I fought over the ten years (trying to rememeber them all :D ). While thinking back I rememeber battle Salamander back when I started my Iron Warriors back in the Games Workshop in Stirling (before the current one was open) & it was during those days I was getting into the gaming side a bit more with Conflict Scotland 2002. I would battle White Scars & Salamanders during those days in the store.

 

On that note, after trying painting the Salamander helmet. I am thinking about a possible Salamander force useing purely just the new paints which are due for release in over a week time.

 

New Paints - As everone hopful seen or heard, Games Workshop bring out a whole range of new paints. 145 paints in April. The paints I have use, I like them & look forward to useing them on future armies. One of the main paint release for me is the Medium. As said during this army log, I got the Eavy Metal medium to use on paint for a shaven hair look, I've really enjoy useing this & to see the medium release in single pots, it going to be as great as Badab Black (I do use a pot of Badab Black a week!, wish I could say I was jokeing) & Devlin mud in my view.

 

Also I replace the Icon of Glory from Unit No1 with this new version

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04902.jpg

 

Finial a friend recently give me some of the Ork armour plates, the once I use though out this army. So I though be cool to add one to my test model I painted up just before starting this new version of my Iron Warriors

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04898.jpg

 

Also I'd added the yellow & black strip on the face armour plate after I painted this model back in Nov to just add that spot colour that I got though out the army.

 

Next week I should be getting the MIG Pigment fixer & get that FW powder sorted for the Rhinos.

 

With Throne of Skulls April in a month time I still got

 

- Galaxy effect on my capture & control banner, hope be shown how to do this soon

- Forge World weather powder, this will be getting done next week

- Destroyed Marker for my Rhinos, useing the Valyrie/Storm Raven base as it the same foot print/size as a Rhino model & can fit ten Space Marines.

- General tidy up my models, make sure nothing I miss.

 

Might be another Chaos Marine painted up due to new idea, but we will see.

 

Also while I am down in Nottingham, I am hoping on pick up the FW chaplain model I talk about during these months

 

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/ASTE..._MINOTAURS.html

 

I was orignaly hope to get this model & use the skull helmet for one of the Iron Warriors unit Champion. But I was unsure of the release & just wanted to get my IW army fully painted.

I will now be aim on buy this Chaplain to try convert into a HQ for the Iron Warriors, hopeful the "rumour" codex Chaos will have some nice chose if it release. But for now just buy this model & converting it for my Iron Warriors. Also looking that the Chaos Guards models to "count as" daemons in friendly games/bigger points games.

 

Also I am aim on building the Fallen Angels this weekend B) So hopeful have them in the next update along with the Rhinos.

God damn your stuff is gorgeous. I especially like your glowing eye-lenses.

Update time

 

I though my 1500pts Iron Warriors army would be complete & done, I was wrong ;) As said though out this log I like to go back, add some detail, replace some models due to new idea. We seen how my IW Rhino went from free hand painted icon to FW brass etch & same with the banner.

But the army come along nicely & Throne of Skulls April is in three? week time, 28th & 29th April.

 

First up the Rhinos & Forge World weather powder.

 

I mange to pick up some MIG pigment fixer on Thur there. Was mean to get this on Tue, but the snow put a stop to that. But I got it & few moment ago apply it to my Rhinos

Also with this Rhino, I replace one of the trophies with a brand new one recently, useing the Vampire Count Skeletions (sp)

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04930.jpg

 

This photo was taken when the model was just painted/

 

Just with GW release new paints this weekend. They had memeber from the studio show here own personial armies & seen Steve Bowerman (Hobby team) Night Lords, it was really cool with the conversion work & just see some of the trophies he had on his Rhino

 

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog...pid=2200052-gws

 

It that the 50 second mark. It cool seen armies like that, along with Wade Raven Wing, Chris Imperial Guard & Duncan Deathwatch kill team force, with some of the conversion work & look of the force.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04943.jpg

 

I am going to try find some names for my Rhinos, along with the Champions for each unit.

 

Three Rhino, just took the photo when getting the lap top ready

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04955.jpg

 

With the weather powder

 

Spare model - When trying somthing out for the first time it alway worth haveing a spare/old model to try out stuff. So for exsample with the yellow, I use one of the clip together Space Marines before apply this to my Blood Angels force. Of for the FW weather powder I had a old Rhino missing some parts which I painted a small area into the IW colour just so I could see how the powder would look & if I needed to make it darker or lighter when mix the 3x powder together.

 

FW weather powder - I found it was better to mix the three I had. When apply the powder it best useing a dry brush, for me I use the GW medium dry brush as this give me better control when apply the powder onto the tank.

 

MIG pigment fixer - First up make sure your wearing a dust mask or that least have the window open. When useing this I use the GW wash brush & just dab it onto the weather powder (I also try to make sure that the brush was not to over the top with the MIG pigment fixer, by wipe some off on some paper) as I was being careful not to have any of the powder wipe off. That first it seem the powder was going away, but once this stuff dry the powder is alright & is seal in.

I give my Rhinos 2x Coat of both the powder & MIG pigment fixer. Went with a layer of FW powder, then seal that in, re-do the FW powder & once again seal that in with the MIG pigment fixer.

 

When working with the Powder, it worth having a sheet of paper. Just so you don't get any onto your cloths & it easy in my view to get this onto the bursh, like paint on a palettes.

 

For me I just wanted this to give a dust look onto the tank (not sure how it look on the photos?)/not muddy. I have like how the Forge World weather powder has give the tanks more depth.

Just my aim when start this new IW force or any army general make them look cool & to try out new things. For this IW force I try out Medium, FW brass etch & weather powder as well as useing yellow a bit more a colour I rarely use a lot off.

 

I said some time I replace model, just for some cool idea & this is what happen. I orignaly posted this Melta arm IW that the start of the project

 

Melta arm Iron Warrior - I base the Iron Warrior pose roughly on the art work of Cadaras Grendel from Graham McNeill novel "Iron Warriors"

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04320.jpg

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04321.jpg

 

Cadaras art work from the Black Library web site

 

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

 

Since then, not only has the model done pretty well in the games he fought. I though be cool to update him a little bit & this is the Mk2 version

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04945.jpg

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04948.jpg

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04949.jpg

 

Bits on him are from - Battlefleet gothic for the parts on the backpack. Space Marine Tactical: Helmet (trophie) & camera, Scout: Bionic/Googles, Devastators: Backpack bit, Orks armour loin cloth use though out my army (just seem to fit in with the seige & trench warfare & Chaos nature), Kroots/Ork pockets, Grey Knight for the left hand, Space Wolf Melta gun, Grey Knight ward staff for the spike to go on the Chaos shoulder pad & I think that it.

 

Salamander trophies on him will be base on my friend force when I use to fight them back in the GW store I use to work in.

 

Also I re-base one of the Iron Warrior from the 3rd unit. Just his orignaly base, super glue got spilt & a little bit to much static grass go onto it. So replace it with a even better base now

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04952.jpg

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04953.jpg

 

Can't rememeber if I posted this, but it update Rhino hatch for the first unit Rhino

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04920.jpg

 

Again like the last one, take a Chaos star image from the internet, scale it down & then double side tape onto styrene/plasticard & then cutting out. I also cut out the corner part to make the icon a little diffrent.

 

I have also got some more work on the 5 Chaos Space Marine unit (look after object) for my 1750pts force

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04918.jpg

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04919.jpg

 

Just need to add FW brass etch to the banner & a Chaos icon to the top of the banner

Excellent work as always. I really like your tutorial on sealing the Forgeworld weathering powders. I'll definitely give that a shot on my vehicles.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks

Update

Well Throne of Skulls April is in a week & a half time & there still a bit to do

First up

I was down in Warhammer World last week as part of a store trip/mini tournament & pick up a few Forge World item. One of them if the Chaplain model I commented on the topic now & then

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05037.jpg

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05038.jpg

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05039.jpg

He just getting painted purely for painting comp. The Axe head come from the Khorne Champion from the Warhammer Fantasy range. Really like the look of the axe & will use this idea for future Iron Warriors conversion or Chaos armies (new codex permitting)

My Capture & Control object marker

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05042.jpg

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05044.jpg

I orignaly wanted to have a Galaxy effect on the banner. But any time I try this on a spare model, it did not turn out right & made the FW brass etch Chaos icon fade away. So looking though the White Dwarfs, I came across the Warhammer Fantasy 30th year, when Harry the Hammer model was release. One of the Eavy Metal painter Neil Green had painted some nice Daemonic face on the armour plate. So though be cool to paint this onto the banner.

I only painted the corner as I do not want these to over shadow the Chaos icon.

I got one finial conversion to do before Throne of Skulls. I recently got my hands on ADB Night Lord Novel - Void Stalker & like the last two Night Lord novels, it brillaint. I am thinking of replace one of the Khorne theme Iron Warriors to have a Executioner chainblade like Xarl from the Night Lord novels
http://aarondembskibowden.wordpress.com/20...-by-shane-cook/

So I will be mail order Seth from the Flesh Tearer range tomorrow & hope this arrive on Fri. Just though be somthing cool & just when people are looking that the army, it stuff like that they'll notice.

So hopeful the next update I will have my Iron Warriors background. While it is not needed, end of the day like my Space Wolves. My Iron Warriors - the 5th Grand Company, are my favrout force & it bring life to the army. Not just that, but also my IW have been around for over ten years, in my view it would be a insult if I did not included background to this force.
Also will have photos of each unit once more as they are. Since there been a few changeies.

Also while not Iron Warriors, these are still powder armour.

First up, my Space Wolves made it onto What new today

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog...pid=2300182-gws

This was taken when I was down in Nottingham last year & it 750pts out of y 1750pts force. Really happy with this.

*note remove Space Marine Salamander model due to army no longer happen

1) Excellent work on the banner :ph34r: High standard of freehand as always.

 

2) Well done on the Space Wolves, always nice to get some reognition!

 

3) Nice Sallies too. Maybe try some battle damage, they would really suit it.

 

4) Love the look of the Chaplain, please tell me where you got the trophy on his back pack. Chopped skeleton? I need it!

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks

 

1) Excellent work on the banner High standard of freehand as always.

 

Cool, was a little worry. Take the banner to my local GW store today see what a few people think as well ;)

 

2) Well done on the Space Wolves, always nice to get some reognition!

 

Yes I was really happy with this & greatful for Dan taken the time to take those photos last week during the store trip to Warhammer World.

 

3) Nice Sallies too. Maybe try some battle damage, they would really suit it.

 

Don't worry, there is some battle damnge ;) Just photo not shown it/need to be painted to be brought up. The Salamander force will be base around mid way though a campign (sp). I'll be trying out more of the Forge World weather powder on there Rhinos as well. Want to go all out on this force like my Iron Warriors & Space Wolves.

 

4) Love the look of the Chaplain, please tell me where you got the trophy on his back pack. Chopped skeleton? I need it!

 

Vampire Count Skeleitons. Lost count of how many of these boxies I bought, from the battle force when I was a staff memeber to the recent stuff. There really great & once my favrour kits for trophies.

The whole Vampire Count range has a lot of great bits for conversion.

Small update

 

So Throne of Skulls April tournament is next week.

 

I mange to some skulls from the Cygor kit from the Beastmen range, which I added onto my Capture & Control object marker

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05046.jpg

 

So that the banner now finish. Just felt it needed these trophies, like the FW weather powder was to my Rhinos.

 

Also my mail order arrive today & have converted that IW that I will paint before the event (Wed).

Idea - The model is base on Xarl from Shane Cook art work on ADB Night Lords novel

http://aarondembskibowden.wordpress.com/20...-by-shane-cook/

 

I've recently been reading Void Stalker this past week. I use Flesh Tearer Seth model for the chainsword weapon. Just felt the image fitted in with the 3rd unit of Iron Warriors, as said they are slow going down the path of khorne & just be somthing cool when people are looking though the army to notice stuff like this & the crusifed space marines.

On the chainsword, I added the Chaos star icon which is from the Warhammer Fantasy Chaos Sorcerer model, the same kit I use on the Terminator model a few update ago (one with the Salamander Trophie).

 

Painting before a event - This has been somthing that happen since I started attend tournament back in 2002 with Conflict Scotland. Pretty much I alway seem to be painting up to the very last moment of a event. Conflict Scotland 2002, the day before I pick up the metal Chaos Sorcerer for my Iron Warriors purely because he was a cool model. Since then it went from a Emperor Champion, replace a weapon for a razorback, etc... over the past ten years & it just dose not seem right if I am not painting up to those last moment.

So the model show there will be painted on Wed & going to spend Thur just make sure my Iron Warriors are all tidy up, nothing miss out, etc...

 

Trophie - I had a really good game vs Orks yesterday & my oppent saw the orks skull among the bits to convert the model. So they said to paint a blue mark on the skull to rep his force. Blue because they are collecting a Deathskull clan theme force, which is really nicely converted.

So I will add some tatto or somthing to show it as a Deathskull & see if there logic work blue = lucky :P

Not sure what chapter I will be the Space Marine helmet from.

As said all trophies in this army are base on armies I fought in the past & present over the past ten years.

 

This is the Iron Warrior sorcerer I painted back in 2002 before my first tournament - Conflict Scotland. The days before I use inks that all & when I started my Iron Warriors force.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05049.jpg

 

I will try get a quick update next week of the Iron Warriors or that least the finish model arm with Seth Chainsword weapon.

Love the look of your chaplain. That head looks great. The guy based on Xarl is looking mint as well mate.

Quick update before Game of Thrones is on TV

 

Throne of Skulls was this weekend & it was a good weekend. My battle report up, just one more battle to do & then a bit about stuff.

 

But a quick bit on here. Overall I had five brillaint games vs five oppent, along with two great practise games as well. I won 2 games, loss 2 & draw one. I also saw I got three or more oppent vote for me as there favrout oppent (after the games, you vote for one of your five oppent) which was really cool.

Overall I came in top 30 out of 132 gamers, with 12 pts. I notice that the Best Chaos Player had 13pts in the tournament, so happy how close I was by 1pt, so right now am the second highest Chaos Marine player from ToS out of 11 Chaos Marine player that attended.

 

Alsp my Iron Warriors where up for Best Army nominee along with seven other players. The overall winner went to Eddie with his brillaint Ork force. I hear that I was just a few vote out from himself as well :D

So really happy with this

I've also change the base on both my orignaly/test Iron Warrior model from the start of the log as well as adding some bits from the Devastators backpack & Battlefleet gothic & I re-done a base on one of my Obliterators just look lot cooler to be honsty & I got some Vampire Count stuff I wanted to add to the base

Also I finial got around to make up the Fallen Angels. This is just half of the unit. Aim to make these Chosen for bigger games & have a full unit of ten Chaos Marines (Fallen Angels). Just feel chosen unit wise would fit the Fallen better in the current codex Chaos. Also with 5th ed allow Inflty unit to out flank it fit in with the Fallen Angels show up & battle for there own goals.

I am aim on painting up the Fallen Angels tomorrow. Useing the Cypher backpack left over from the Chaos Space Marine Chirugeon Backpack bit pack
http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1860240

In the next few days I am hope to get the other five Fallen Angels converted up after recently find a box of Dark Angels kicking about in my room.

I still got a few thing to do. After reading the short story in Black Library novel Architect of Fate, there a short story deal with the Iron Warriors vs Imperial Fist (led by Lysander). It comment about the Iron Warriors having a Forge Chaplain. Though be cool to try get around & converting up a model like this.
Again for bigger games I could alway use him as a Lord or Sorcerer. But just though be cool conversion wise.

Also have the Forge World Apothercary which I want to convert into Iron Warriors.

I'm also going to start a Chaos Guard theme force in the next few days which will be added to my Iron Warriors for bigger games. But that will be for warseer with the Guard not being arm with power armour

Update

 

Once again real life got a little busy cutting into my hobby time. But I mange to get some time to add a few new models to my Iron Warriors.

 

First up some new Chaos Marines, these Iron Warriors are just update some models due to new idea &/or add trophies base on oppents I fought during the Throne of Skulls April weekend.

 

One of the Iron Warriors slow going down the path of khorne

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05424.jpg

 

When I was build up a unit of Thunder Wolves for my Space Wolves force. I notice on oe of the part the scaribe/Thasound Sons icon attach to a bolter clip & bags. I though this would be a good way to show my battle against Matt, my round two oppent from the Throne of Skulls April weekend.

 

Another new memeber to the unit of Iron Warriors slow going down the path of Khrone

My Terminator has a new trophie from the Throne of Skulls April weekend

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05428.jpg

 

I added a helmet from the Legion of the Damned model when they came out in finecast. This is shown my round 5 game during Throne of Skulls April, when my Iron Warriors fought Black Templars. The unit of Terminators this model is part off killed the Templars Chaplain after taken on the unit of Assault Terminators he was part off

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/ToS%20April%2012/DSC05236.jpg

 

Also with the release of Warhammer 40,000 6th ed, I notice there a few mission where I will need some more Object marker. One mission which has 6x Object Marker & then we have the Relic Mission. This being the case, I though I would model a new object marker to go along with my Templars with Chaos icon & my Capture & Control object Marker - Iron Warrior carry the 5th Grand Company banner.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05430.jpg

 

The idea is a sword in the stone type thing, but being Chaos this will be a Daemon weapon. As for the Ultramarine, I'll work out somthing. Most like be he been dead for a while but it to use his gene seed as a sacrifice or somthing, main reason to be honsty is to wind up a few Ultramarine friends :tu: more than anything else after seeing how they'd re-acted to the crusifed Ultramarine on my Iron Warrior Rhino.

 

Finial I am about to make one more new Iron Warriors. I was looking that past White Dwarf & saw WD 291 which had a bit on Techmarine. Though it would be cool to sub theme a Iron Warrior who was about to join the Techmarine's just when the Heresy was about to happen.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC05431.jpg

 

This being the art work I want to roughly base the model on

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/180px-Techmarine.jpg

 

I am just waiting on a Forge World order where I order the Titan Tech Priest.

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...ECH-PRIEST.html

 

It just for, when people look that the army they can spot out conversion like this. People had commented during ToS April & that my local GW & Gaming club, they like notice all the detail. From the crusifed Marines, to the trophies & Icon base on armies I fought over the years or the Chaos Rune I painted onto the shoulder pads.

 

6th ed - My Iron Warriors have fought three games of 6th ed right now & so far I really like the new rules. I feel it add depth to the game. I really like issue challenges & can see this rule adding a lot more depth to my Iron Warriors champion & Warsmith background.

Right now all my time gaming are focuse on the new rules. I am waiting until our codex is release before I add any new units.

 

However one thing I notice during games is that I will need to give my Terminators units all Power Axe. I find as soon as they are bog down in close combat, being a small elite unit there only so many armour save you can make. For the Terminators I need close combat to be fought over pretty fast. Same time I am notice a lot of terminators unit kicking around the gaming tables recently. Also Power Axe are pretty cool model wise.

 

So far I fought Grey Knights, Daemons & Space Wolves. I just need to get use to not being able to assault out of my Rhinos any more. But that part of the challenge, what I like about new army books & rule release, challenge to learn new tactic, etc....

Main thing right now just to get use to the brand new rules. As last week I bought my Throne of Skulls October ticket in Warhammer World. So need to be all ready for the event/tournament :tu:

 

For the Iron Warriors - As said there apart from working on/off on the Fallen Angels unit. I will wait until codex chaos is release before adding any other units. I will however be looking to add Allies. I started a Chaos Guard theme force (see my topic over on warseer) back in June which will be going along with my Iron Warriors.

I am also recent planning on starting a brand new Daemon Force, I had one back in 2008? as part of a challenge from my local GW store

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...=152849&hl=

 

But I want a more up todate force, to go with my Iron Warriors for bigger games. Also my orignaly daemon force, I sold half of the army, the metal model half that a local wargaming event due to how heavy the force was to carry to my local GW store & gaming club. Add onto this the new range of Games Workshop paints, to try out a few idea on the force as well.

With the Allies rules, it will be great as it will allow me to use the unit I have along side my Iron Warriors force, while I aim to get the Daemons up to 1500pts. Right now I only got a box of Bloodletter & I can re-paint my (Plastic) Bloodcrusher I bought a while back. The Daemon project will be starting in November time.

Update

 

I said in the last update about converting up some Iron Warriors as Marines who where about to join the Tech-marines but then the heresy broke out. I mange to get the models built on Monday, was aim to do this during the weekend but suffer a bad headace as I hate the heat, I hate hot weather, I preffer the cold.

 

Anyway onto the models, the idea came from WD 291 on the Index Astarties base on the Techmarines & from this art work

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/180px-Techmarine.jpg

 

Both models, for Squad 1- Iupatus Proeliator. One of the right cover in blood is for squad 3 - Apocalypse

I got my FW order during the weekend there with the Tech-priest & the brass etch bard-wire (sp), though be cool to have one of the trophies with the brass etch around it & hopeful it will help teach people to stop pick up my models with out my permission......

Hopeful these two Iron Warriors will be seeing there first game tomorrow that my local wargaming club. Trying to get as many 6th ed games as possible & still need to try get the time to give my Terminators all power axe other wise they get to stuck down in close combat which I can not affored them to, I need there support with the other Chaos Marines units in the army.

Been a little while since I have updated this topi.

 

Today though out the UK, ever store was holding the Armies on Parade where the winner from each store would end up taken there army & display board down to Games Day which is in two weeks time. I really like the idea of Armies on Parade & fully support this, as end of the day it all about seen some cool armies & getting idea for our own models. As state in the past I rather seen cool armies with lot of conversions & nice paint work rather than people moan about the hobby.

Also for me since Armies on Parade started in UK that least last year. It allowed me to use skills I learnt from my college course back in 2005 to 2008, which was NQ to HND model making. I took part in the course so I could use the skills from the course along with my hobby & the AoP display board allowed that chance, as well as why I got the plasticard/styrene icons & extra armour on my Rhinos.

 

So today my local GW store saw a lot of great entry for Armies on Parade. It was really cool seen eash army & there display board & how they give a sort of image/story of the army & what they where doing if that make sense. It was really close on the votes as well. But my Iron Warriors mange to just make there way by a few votes & will be going down to Games Day. It also why not much has been posted as a lot of my hobby time was focuse on building the board & just this last week has been spent painting my own Armies on Parade board

[Hyaenidae]

Your level of dedication to this project is admirable, and the models show this. From the smallest conversion, to the faintest highlight, one can tell that you've really put your heart and soul into your work. You should be very proud, man.

 

Excellent work, man. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.... A titan perhaps?

[DaemonPrinceDargor]

I will echo everything Heathens said, amazing work mate! Looking forward to seeing them in the flesh (well, plastic...) at GD. :P

Yesterday was Games Day UK & I am slow recovering after a 16 hour worth of travel (8 hour down, 8 hour back up) & my Iron Warriors along with the board all seem to have made it in once pice :)

This year Games Day Uk got to be my best/favrout over the five years I started going down & it been great Games Workshop brought in Armies on Parade. For me it allow me to bring in my college (NQ to HND Model making) with my hobby.

Got a lot of people asking me about the board after I set up or when friends ask me to show them the Armies on Parade.

 

I also have a video of the board after setting up, but photobucket seem to take for ever uploading it. To be honsty less hassle today the better for myself :geek:

 

Also got John Blanche (sp) to sign White Dwarf 202 for me, the White Dwarf that started converting models & Chaos Space Marines for 16 years now?

It say Burn Heretic

 

Then the bought stuff. Everone always rush in when the event open that 10am, but I went in that 12pm as I wanted to see stuff (Codex Chaos Space Marines!!!) & still mange to get everthing I wanted :lol:

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Games%20Day%202012/DSC05605_zps4ce47cc1.jpg

 

New Iron Warrior novel, Garro Audio & Forge World Heresy book.

 

New Codex Chaos - I mange to get s short amount of time to quickly check Codex Chaos Space Marines which willl be release in less than two weeks away. So far I like what I seen, just a bit gutted I was not able to get as much time to check out everthing in the codex. But so far I do like the way Chaos Space Marines units have came out & the overall look of the codex.

 

With this, it will mean a lot of new stuff. When the codex is release on the 6th of October, I will need to get a 1500pts force writen out for Throne of Skulls October in Warhammer World Nottingham which is two week after the release of Codex Chaos.

This will also mean I got some money kept aside which any new units or models I need/changeies to my current force can be bought on that very same day.

 

Once this has happen. I am looking to make my Iron Warriors 3000pts. So far models I want to add to my army when the new codex is out would be

- Cultiest: Would like to convert these up like the Chaos Guards from Space Marines the computer game

- Warpsmith: I really like the new model & fit in really well with the Iron Warriors. Unsure if I will do much conversion work due to the amount of detail on the model is just right in my view/how I'd image the model

- Vindacators: While I may not use one game wise - well possible for bigger games, just be nice to have a Vindcator tank

 

But right now it just waiting for codex Chaos Space Marines, see how my current force is & what changies will be made & as said getting ready for Throne of Skulls October with two weeks to get ready before I go onto to make my army up to 3000pts. I will how ever buy the Warpsmith right away no matter if he in my ToS army list or not.

Thanks. Are you attend Throne of Skulls October? I still rememeber your painting your army though out the Friday in Nottingham/Warhammer World :D

 

the Daemon Engines, you planning on gettin any of these beasts

 

Yes, but unsure if they will be inlcuded in my 1500pts force for Throne of Skulls, all depend on 6th October. But I will included some for my 3000pts force & dispit what said on the fourms I like the models & seen them yesterday in the cabint really nice.

 

So jealious you got John Blanche's Autograph! :tu: huge fan of his!

 

Aye, just that art work as said though out this topic been a big part of my hobby life. WD 202 was my first White Dwarf & Chaos was my second army base on Black Legion. Ever time I started a Chaos force, always check this out.

You might be able to see John in Bugman bar, I know ToS October I walk past himself when I was going to order food & drink.

I missed out on seeing the Armies on Parade entries and was gutted that I missed the opportunity to see your models up close.

Love the army and its probably the best IW i've seen and its often being close to encouraging me to start my own wardband of IW.

 

The board is also exceptionally cool and is a brilliant backdrop for an equally brilliant army.
