Iron Warriors 5th Grand Company - Army log

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Incredible looking unit, great work.

 

My only issue would be that the blood spatter seems too...regular? 4/5 marines in the front row all have blood in the same spots at the bottom left and top right parts of their shields, and all their shields are held at the same angle. It detracts from the overall effect of the unit. I am sure that it is just a model placement issue, with the grunts at the front.

 

Thanks Xenith & for the feedback

 

Once I got the unit painted, I'll be going back & will add a bit more on both the shields & part of the armour, but not as much as my unit going down path of Khorne   As you said with the unit effect, show the flow of battle/close quarter fighting in the trench or holding the enemy fortification that the Breacher unit would be battling in.

Bit like my third Heldrake I'd kept going back & add bit here & there days/week after it was originally painted, as well as adding some bits to the base before using it for Throne of Skulls March.

No worries. Looking back, have you considered a Khorne Berzerker plasma pistol for Cypher? Those are suitably archaic.

 

Cypher's own pistol is an odd, slimmed down one.

Thanks Xenith, that a good call on the Bezerker plasma pistol.  Once I move house next week (Friday) I'll have a look out for that along the Chaplain model from the box game see what I can do/ideas

I'll hopeful have the rest of the Fallen Angels unit ready once the move happens.

 

I enter my local Games Workshop store painting comp - model of the month.  This month theme was unit leader & I won with my Iron Warrior Champion - Bronn Tal Mk2.  The Mk2 version was made after dropping the Power Fist for a few points for Throne of Skulls March when my Chaos Lord - Narach was given the Axe of Blind Fury.

Also with the Mk2, I given him a Space Wolf trophies (wolf skull) as during ToS Nov he killed a Wolf Priest during a challenge & then turn into a Daemon Prince.  One of my greatess & hard fought games.

Photo was taken some stage last year when he was still WIP.

Few other note

 

- Breacher unit finish, but I will still go back to paint/tidy up part of the models.  I'm hopeing on have the four new models varnish.

- Just pick up a Rhino today for my Breacher unit.  This will need to wait, as said by Friday I will be moving house.  This will also give me time to think off some cool idea to try make it fit a bit more for the Breacher unit.

 

Move house - One aim I have planned is to get a gaming table so I can pretty much get more games.  So this mean I got my local GW store, Wargaming club & now home.

With this in mind I will be looking that a possible log on the gaming table & terrain.  I think it important, as well as having cool armies, it help having a great gaming table & terrain.

i agree. a cool table and terrain allows for so much creativity!

[RolandTHTG]

For the Breacher's rhino, why not make it look like one that has just rammed itself through a breach in the fortress. (I suggest the following, knowing full well that I don't have to model it ) 
Maybe have small strands of barbed wire hanging off the sides, or bits of rubble scattered across the dozer blade/top of the vehicle. Paint extra 'fortress dust' along the treads and sides, etc

Thanks for the comments

 

 

Update

 

I've move house two & a half weeks ago. This just mean I can get time back toward the hobby I got a few new Iron Warriors to add to my army as I have a event on the 1st July, then following that I have a two day 1750pts tournament & then near the end of July I have a one day 1500pts tournament by the gaming club D.W.A.R.F which will be there first Warhammer 40,000 event.

 

Due to the move I not got a area set up yet to take (that least) decent photos of the models. So right now useing my painting stastion for the photos right now.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06825_zps7ad9df23.jpg

 

One of the first thing to get done was to get the painting stastion, TV & PS3 all set up. I think this has been the most tidy it been since I started the Iron Warrior log two year ago.

 

Breacher Rhino

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06843_zps2cfb449a.jpg

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06844_zps8b2fc69c.jpg

 

I did try out some other idea to try make the Rhino stand out a bit more. But sadily none of them turn out right, so I kept the Breacher Rhino in the same style as the rest of my Iron Warriors transport. But maybe go back & add a bit more battle damnge & go a bit heavyer with the Forge World weather powder.
I should have the Rhino fully painted by tomorrow

 

4th Heldrake

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06849_zps68a8c1fe.jpg

 

There still a lot of work to be finish. For this heldrake I wanted to try out the verdigris effect, to try show this as a older Heldrake/age a bit more. I use Sotek Green & the medium to really thin it down to a glaze/wash.
So far this heldrake has been great in the past few games. Not like my first one which never arrive until turn 4 for over 30 games.....

 

Mk2 - Champion Goran Brakar of the Desolatum Tempestas squad (Breacher)

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06856_zpsccac0a6f.jpg

 

I was not to keen on how the orignaly Champion had look when I started the Breacher unit a while back. So chosen to make a brand new conversion for the Champion. I like the way the power axe has turn out useing the Thunder Wolves power axe along with Power Axe from the Space Wolf spure (3rd ed) & parts from the Grey Knight Ward Stave to make the weapon stand out & more personial as his weapon.
Just help add that theme & to make each Champion in my Iron Warriors force stand out/diffrent from each other.

 

I will need to go back & re-paint the eyes as well.

 

Iron Warriors from the Breacher unit

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06836_zps1c033edc.jpg

 

I had to recent re-base this Iron Warrior for my Breacher unit. Just the base he was orignaly one would not fit properly into the army case & resulted in the model breaking when I would be going to my local Games Workshop store or gaming club. I think you can see I added some green stuff to the chainsword weapon due to some of the damnge.

 

Chaos Lord in Power Armour

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06850_zpsfb358e6a.jpg

 

As said that the top of this post. My Iron Warriors are going to a event on the 1st July that 1250pts, this is maybe one of the few times I will game that a small point leval. Just for me I general game that 1500pts+ just lot cooler.
So with that in mind it ment some change to my army list & one them to take a Chaos Lord in Power Armour.

 

The Chaos Lord will be a nod to Warsmith Honsou

So he should be ready for painting by next week.

 

Cultist

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06847_zps7ba26ba1.jpg

 

I'm adding a third unit of Cultist to the Iron Warriors. As said in the past few updates, the models will also be use if I want to use codex Guards as allies or a stand alone force. So there will be a few models in the near future for Guard command squad & some units in the near future.

Also since Bolter & Chainswords is allowed Guards now I found two Leman Russ Battle tanks I was starting to paint just before moving house

First up - As you can see the Demolisher Tank has taken some damnge & bits missing since the move. However I recently mail order the Guard tank spure as there was parts I needed for my Breacher Rhino. So will use the armour plate from that to replace the once missing on the tracks.
For the tanks them selfs. I've just painted them useing the Games Workshop spray gun & blu-tack part of the base coat before spray the other colour. The tanks don't really take long to paint. Just spray the two base colour, wash, highlight & battle damnge. Then once these are varnish I will be adding the Forge World weather powder.

One of my friend got me this backpack fro the Heresy weekender event

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06838_zpscfe2354a.jpg

 

Just I use the Apoclypse backpack which was release back in 2007. I use the Apoc backpack to carry my army when going to tournament, local GW or wargaming club but it given into wear & tear. While the Heresy backpack can not fit the standard GW case, it can carry my Heldrake, codex, army list, dice & template.

Ah you lucky bugger, you got the backpack! Nice!

 

I love the additions to the army. The chaos symbol to the tank is really well done but I would find a way to make it 'pop' more. Even though it's red (it could just be the picture) I really have to look for it. It's well executed, I'd probably just out line it or something.... Anyway, great job.

 

I don't know how you do it. After years of painting IW I have fizzled. I pick up a metalic colour and the desire to paint just dies in me lately. I grinded through about 3-4 models including my Heldrake in the last 2 months, but -nothing- like what you have finished above. Great job.

[Chaeron]

To a top standard as ever - good work!

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks for the comments :D

Suprise you forgotten my past painting records.

Update
 

No matter what army or event, I always still seem to be building & painting.  It a week until I go to my first event out of three in July

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06878_zpse88edb7a.jpg

I've base the Chaos Icon on the one from the Forge World brass etching & also tie in with the Chaos Icon I've painted onto the Breacher unit.  I should be getting this painted tomorrow.

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06877_zps9b48c5b5.jpg

I'm also current painting a Blood Angel trophie for the Breacher Rhino.  This is base on my friend Graham army & use part to match one of his models so it stand out from the other Blood Angels trophies I got in my IW force. 
I like the Heresy look that this has & in my view help show that my Iron Warriors fought during the Seige of Terra.

 

I've also replace another Breacher Iron Warriors due to not being to keen on one of the orignaly models

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06876_zps369937aa.jpg

 

I think for this one I want to try paint a blood hand print which is inspired by - the damend artifiecer - World Eater topic - The itch of the butcher nails
http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271912-the-itch-of-the-butchers-nails-the-xiith-legion-is-loose/?hl=+world +eater

 

After this lot I current got to build &/or paint

- 9x Cultist

- Terminator w/Combi Plasma

- Iron Warriors for my third unit/squad that slow going down the path of Khorne

 

Also a while back I mange to get another two of the 6th ed box game chaplains during a wargaming event - Carronade in Falkirk.  One being kept to convert a Chaplain for my Ravenwing force.  The other one was orignaly going to be use to convert my Chaos Lord for the event I am going to this weekend.  However I got another bit & mean I got the third Chaplain model spare.  I'm currently thinking of adding a second Dark Apostel/Forge Chaplain to my Iron Warriors & have this one arm with the Flamer (not sure of the name) & because I really enjoy painting the first Forge Chaplain back in Decemeber time?
Try conversion base on the - Vakrah Jal company from the Heresy novel Betrayer.

 

Before I forget, the CHaos Lord in Power Armour

Quick update

My Iron Warriors attend there first event for July being Warhammer Invasion (Conflict Scotland) where a few store went down to Warhammer World for the day with three games that 1250pts.
This would be the first Invasion event my Iron Warriors would go to, past two year had seen my Space Wolves.  So was really looking forward to the event.

 

On Firday I ended up converting a brand new Dark Apostle - Forge Chaplain: Daxos Styx & taken this model over the Chaos Lord in Power Armour.  I was lucky to as I ended up getting three games vs Orks, each Ork list being diffrent from 157 Ork Hoard army, Mech Orks & Biker/Mech orks force.

 

Photo take by the Warhammer World event team for the single model painting comp

The Forge Chaplain did really well until the last game - I failed two look out sir rolls & ended up rolling double 1's for his armour save.... that four 1's rolled in a single turn.....!!!  I chose the model due to like this conversion more for the 1250pts limit & just somthing new to try out along with the Burning Brand. 

My Iron Warriors also ended up pick up the Best army award which I am really happy with.  In the past I commented that I like going to event to get games vs new oppents & armies I may not see all that often.  But it the army side of things thare are more my goals when I attend events.

Also here the Breacher that was converted/replace a model in my Breacher unit.  Not sure how the photo turn out so sorry in advance as we've recently had the light change in the new house, the last once where to dull.

The Dark Angels being base on my 700th game against my friend force back in May just before I was moving house.

 

I got another event - Clan Wars which is this weekend.  It a two day event/tournament that 1750pts.  So I will be taken my Throne of Skulls 1500pts army + a second Heldrake, Chaos Marines bring the Breacher squad to 9 models & a fourth Terminator.
With that in mind I recent painted this Terminator after pick up some Forge World stuff on Monday from the Nottingham trip

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC06905_zpsdea96b49.jpg

Then the next event/tournament is on the 20th - Fire Storm by the wargaming club D.W.A.R.F that 1500pts.   So I will have a few new Chaos Marines to convert up for the event.

Update
 

Sadily it seem some of the updates during July has went missing in the warp, as the fourm has a problem with our datebase

 

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278012-corrupt-database-problems/

 

So bit of a update with some recent models & hopeful some of the update that went missing in the warp that happen a few days ago.
 

Back on the 27th July, the White Dwarf daily has said my Iron Warriors would be shown as part of the Army of the Month for the August issue of the White Dwarf

 

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog.jsp?pid=10200024

 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/m3350272a_1.jpg

 

As you can guess I been really happy with this.  Pick up my White Dwarf last week, I been really impress with the work the White Dwarf team have done with both the article, overall photo of the army & single/unit photos.  I'm really greatful for the White Dwarf team time & help.
I think it around 5000pts of Iron Warriors that are shown with 110 models & 14 tanks.

 

I've been busy getting my third unit of Cultist painted.  I wanted these to be slight different from the other two unit of Cultist.  The idea is, if I use the codex Guard, this unit will be the Penal Legion.  So theme wise I want them to be the unit that infiltrate/setting up traps & engine work.

 

Not sure how the photos are right now, I'm still trying to get a place set up in the new house so I can get better photos taken

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/DSC06972.jpg

 

Still a few more part to paint before the unit is fully painted.  I'm thinking of adding a few more models onto this unit as I recently got a few new Guard models.

 

I added a new Apothecary theme model to Squad Apocalypse, my unit slow going down the path of Khorne before I attended the tournament - Fire Storm two week ago

Also in a game last week against my friend & long time rival Ian.  The Icon Bearer from the Breacher unit done really well & has earn himself some new trophies.
Basicly ever tournament me & Ian have went to, we always drawn to battle each other.  It became a running joke where we will ask what round do we want our game, only for it to happen, so there a good balance between my Iron Warriors vs his Black Legion & then our Space Wolves armies.  So Ian came up to Scotland recently to see family & though we'd get a game in, that my local wargaming club - Stirling wargamer.

 

I'm not sure if it seen in the photo, but I added the scarab & a Chaos Icon

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v473/ironwarriors/insane%20psycopath/DSC06977.jpg

 

Just during the game against Ian Black Legion & Daemonic allies.  The Iron Warriors was the last member of my Breacher unit & survive the odd from a assault from a unit of 16? Slannesh Daemon & ended up winning the close combat.  I think he deny the witch vs a unit of Horror just after that close combat as well?
I loss the game in the end, but there was very little models left on the table from both my Iron Warriors & Ian Black Legion force.

It been pretty cool how the Breacher are starting to have a life of there own in my recent games.  First few games would see them killed before they where able to do anything (new model syndrome).
 

 

Next for the Iron Warriors - I'm currently having a look & seeing what I will add next to my Iron Warriors.  Right now I have

- 5x Cultist as said above

- 2x Obliterators for my 1850pts list for a local tournament in October (Stirling Wargamer Rapid Fire).

 

My Fallen Angels unit on hold as the parts are missing in the warp since moving house
 

I'll need to convert up another Iron Warrior Sorcerer arm with a Power Axe.  As back in June when I was working out my army list for Warhammer World Invasion & struggle for a HQ chose before I settle on taken the Dark Apostle with the Burning Brand.  It was commented about taken a Sorcerer as another chose & something new to try out gaming wise. 

 

There also be a few new Iron Warriors to convert up before I go down to Throne of Skulls September which is in a month & a week time.

 

I want to add some more Obliterators as they are one of my favour units.  Also I would like to add another Chaos Dreadnought, but I think I'll wait until I am down in Warhammer World for Throne of Skulls September to pick up the model

 

I'll have a look though the codex Chaos & see what cool idea I can come up with.  As right now I like the codex Chaos & want to try add as much to my Iron Warriors, but also leave some unit out so I can collect other Chaos armies/Legion in the near future.
It just so I got the chose there for games ether for events/tournament both local or Throne of Skulls & so I can also get bigger point games with the release of the new Apocalypse rules

Saw your army in WD, very exciting.

Grats on making the White Dwarf, awesome work throughout! How do you do the eyes? Do you airbrush them or just do them by hand?

Grats on making the White Dwarf, awesome work throughout! How do you do the eyes? Do you airbrush them or just do them by hand?

 

Apart from the Chaos Guard tanks (GW spray gun), everthing else in this topic has been painted by hand.

 

I use - Regal Blue, Ultramarine blue & Ice blue.

 

I pretty much drybrush the blues, then after dry brush with ice blue, highlight the edge with ice blue again.  While the glass/eye part was just painted normal using those colours.  I would also look into using Incubi Darkness, Sotek Green & Temple Guard Blue.  I use those one on the Forge Chaplain model (Dark Apostle).

 

Currently re-reading Storm of Iron so I can some ideas for adding some cool new stuff to the Iron Warriors :D

Awesome! Thanks for the advice, I just did my first hand-painted OSL eyes last night and posted them in my Night Lords log, pretty pleased with results and thankful I won't have to potentially jeopardize nicely painted models with an airbrush. I usually use the AB to basecoat and do shadows, but outside of that using it to do OSL terrifies me.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Update

 

Throne of Skulls September is next week & that mean one thing - getting some new cool models built, converted & painted before I travel down to Nottingham for the event.

 

I've added two new models, one for squad 1 - Iupatus Proeliator & one for squad 3 - Apocalypse

 

New apothercary for squad Iupatus Proeliator

But I felt he was very close to looking like the Icon bearer from my Breacher unit, which I wanted to try & avoid.  So since the WIP to the current base coat/wash, I've re-built him so he look for his next oppent for close combat after already slaughter someone.  I've added the new model to squad Apocalypse, as I always wanted to go back & add another chains-glave Iron Warrior to that unit, along with the Icon bearer I converted up October last year.

The new Iron Warriors Chaos Marine will be painted tomorrow that my local Games Workshop store.

 

Also since my last update, it seem the Space Marines have had a new release & a new codex which is due this Saturday.  As said from the very start of this topic, one of the reason I re-started my Iron Warriors was due to all the cool new kits release since then & this still stand to today.

A while back when I was just converting my unit of Breacher.  I commented I wanted there Rhino to stand out a bit more.  I wanted them to be Castellalan Rhinos which can be found in Angles Exterminatius (sp?) - Horus Heresy novel by Graham McNeill.  But sadily I was not able to work out anything I would like.

 

From Angels Exterminatius

 

 

Their main transport, the Castellan Rhino has unfolding armour plates and impact bracing so they can be turned into miniature bunkers.

'The modular construction allowed the Rhinos to be linked together in a chain, forming a makeshift fortified line when materials for more permanent emplacements were
unavailable or a defence had to be fashioned quickly.  Four hundred Rhinos assumed a perfect formation outside the walls in a layered barbican protecting the Legions’ line of retreat, while inside, an identical number of vehicles mirrored them. With the perforated citadel walls dividing them, the Rhinos became a fortified bunker complex from which to launch operations within the citadel.
 

 

But with the Space Marines release, I mange to find a kit the help this out

I still be converting my own extra armour as seen with my other Rhinos & also try tie in all the bits you see that the side of the rhino.

The only thing is.  I'm unsure which Space Marine trophies to add.  I'm currently thinking, base on armies I fought in the past - one possible the Iron Hands as I still to add a trophy base on one my old oppents back in 2005, also Iron Hands is one of the chapter I collect & will be starting a new force in the future once I see what the Forge World Horus Heresy release. 

Or there Novamarines base on my friend & current oppent & I've notice there a shoulder pad in the new plastic Sternguard that tie in with there Chapter Icon, I know my oppent has already commented they will start a crusade against the Iron Warriors if they see any more Novamarines trophies....

 

I think the other trophy I got line up are - Raven Guard, Ork, Imperial Guards, Eldar Farseer which will ether be Ulthwé or when I work for Games Workshop a member of staff Jet Bike army I shown a while back.  Also look into adding a Chaos Space Marine trophy & Necrons.

 

So I will be building the model during the weekend once it is release.

 

I've also got another two new Obliterators that I will be converting & like all other units try give them there own sub theme/background.  I currently looking that the Games Workshop web site & seen what bits/spure are like for conversion.  I need to get the Obliterators converted this weekend, as I go down to Nottingham in a week time.
 

I will be getting the new Hunter tank & the one of the box set from family as a late birthday present, with my birthday being this Thursday!!  So a great time for the new Space Marine release

Update

Throne of Skulls September was during the weekend there & as usely a really great event

 

I mange to get my Castellan Rhino built on the Saturday/Space Marine release.  But I was not able to get the model painted until Monday due to being a bit unwell on Sunday.

 

Photo taken by the Warhammer World event team on there facebook page.  Just I was very busy last week/  I use some of the brand new Space Marines tactical bit for trophies along with the box game Chaplain model.  I ended up going with a Iron Hands as a trophies as I not really had Iron Hands trophie on my IW before/hard to make the Iron Hands stand out just as a helmet other wise people think it Templars or one of the other Black Power Armour Chapters.

 

I enter my Rhino in the Legand painting comp, along with Lord Narach & my object marker

I also converted up two new Obliterators for Throne of Skulls, so try get photos of them later on this week.  Today pretty much recovering as I was travel back home yesterday leaving Nottingham that 8am, not getting home until 4pm (thank Scotrail for dely trains......)

My Iron Warriors where also up for Army Nominee as well.  It was a really hard chose during ToS Sept as there where so many cool armies.  I think there was 16+ armies & 8 had to be pick for Army Nominee during the Sunday launch time.
Each army had somthing that made it really cool & as said before it why I like going to events/tournament.  Seen all the cool armies, while I may not collect say Tau, there maybe a conversion or the way they base it that help toward idea to use in my armies or when starting a new one.  Lot of people commented it was really hard to make a vote.

 

Same with the Armies on Parade in the Warhammer World store on Saturday, it was a really hard chose to pick one.  Here some photos from the weekend (power armour related)

[Dammeron]

gorgeous work: I've said it before, but it's this kind of thing that keeps me anchored to the hobby: for me, this is the very epitome of what an Iron Warriors force should be.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks Dammeron for the comment.

It the same for me.  I like seen cool armies, while I may not collect this or that army they still offer a lot of idea.  Take Throne of Skulls Sept there, each army offer a diffrent idea to try out on a current collection or led to starting a new force.  This is why I join the fourm, this is what I like seen in the White Dwarf with Army of the Month & Parade Ground & also events like Throne of Skulls.

To me this is what the hobby is about & getting games against friends or event wise brillaint new oppents.

 

So going to ToS Sept last week, it was great & to talk to like minded hobbiest.

 

 

Update

It not like Games day is next week or anything............

 

Recently one of my friends had given me a hobby challenge to get a Duel ready for Games Day, base around my Iron Warriors force against a Ultramarine from the 4th Company.

The models are not attach to the base yet, just waiting on the green stuff to dry.  I will have the Iron Warrior glue onto the base/while painting, the Ultramarine be added once he fully painted.

 

General idea been my Iron Warriors have bombard a Ultramarine fort/Imperial City, Iron Warriors attach into the breach/city with the smoke just clearing.

You know, for a while now I've thought, "Wow, Iron Warriors would be so much easier to paint. How much would I have gotten done if I had gone with that legion instead?"

 

This project log has blown that clearly false preconception out of the water. Please keep up your amazing work!

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks for the comment.

Quick update on the Duel

 

I spent a bit of today that my local Games Workshop store painting up the Duel & just getting feedback from my friends.

 

Note - Photos maybe a bit funny, again having to take the photos that my painting stastion/just take a few moment ago being 9pm right now.

The Ultramarine sword say Calth. Just I needed somthing to draw attesion, same with the Bolter I done some writen/scrip to help fill in the space & some battle chips.

Overall the model still to be finish, just a few thing to tidy up on both the Iron Warrior & the Ultramarine. Then just varnish the whole model, water effect & gloss varnish on the blood on the chainswords.

Also of course to glue the Ultramarine onto the base.

 

So overall idea just my IW attack a Imperial Planet, with Ultramarines defending. After bombardment on the city, smoke clearing. IW has just killed some of the local PDF/or Guard force, while the Ultramarine killed some cultist/chaos guard, smoke clear/just notice each other for worthly close combat/hate between Chaos & Imperial.

 

Finial. Seem Games Day release Kor Phaeron and Erebus of the Word Bearers Legion

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/Games_Day_UK_2013_Pre-Releases.html

 

One of my friends just want the Kor model after seen the FW web site today. So I'll be buying Erebus (everone hate in the Heresy novels :D ) from my friend. I'm aim on converting Erebus into a new Iron Warrior sorcerer. There been a few small point games where I though of taken a Sorcerer. While I got Krull I converted up a while back. It just I would not mind having one with a differnt weapon set up (Power Axe), also just some of the parts would be nice for a conversion.

 

Also be pick up Ferrus as I do like the Iron Hands chapter & about to collect my fourth army of them.

Iron Warriors related:

 

Iron Hands Legion - I really like these models & I want to convert a new unit of Chaos Marines using these part for a event I got that the end of October, my Wargaming club tournament - Stirling Wargamer - Rapid Fire.
I will also be using the left over bits from the Hunter tank to "count as" a Havoc launcher for there Rhino Transport.

I got a second set of Iron Hands Legion order during the Games Day event.

 

Erebus - One of my friends who went to Games Day just wanted Kor & I suggested that we went 50/50 on the kit as I wanted Erebus.  He will be converted into a Iron Warrior Sorcerer with Power Axe just so I got the chose for my games.

The other item I pick up from Forge World are

 

Heresy book II - Really great book & as usely really great art work that always be helpful when it come down to conversion idea.

 

Ferrus - My family ask me to pick up this model as they though it was really cool & I will get it that Christmas time.  Just Iron Hands are one of the Imperial Marine armies I like & will be re-start my Iron Hands force very soon.
I always said since Forge World release the Primarch.  I would pick up the Lord of Iron, Horus, Russ & Ferrus.

 

Noise Marines - They just look cool & be great to paint.

Update

 

In two week time my Iron Warriors will be take part that my local wargaming club - Stirling wargamer, tournament - Rapid Fire, which will be 1850pts & 6 round during the Saturday & Sunday.
As always I'm looking forward, as it though the Rapid Fire event back in 2006 that led me to find out about the wargaming club & I been going ever since.

 

With the event being 1850pts, I been working out my army list & I'm adding a new unit which I commented in the last update, that I wanted sort of theme around the Stor-bezashk from Angels Exterminatus.  Main reason behind this was mainly down to Forge World release the new Iron Hands Legion kit that Games Day & just look really cool.

 

Rhino transport for the unit

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07272_zps16f9b26b.jpg

 

I'm using the weapon from the Space Marine hunter kit to stand in as a Havoc Launcher.  I just though it would be a weaste not using this part after converting the Rhino for my Breacher squad back that Throne of Skulls Sept, where I bought the Hunter kit for the extra armour.
Also the weapon has a great siege like look to it.

 

I'm just waiting on some bits to arrive so I can add trophies.  I be getting the extra armour plate added later today.  Also this is the first time I'm using the Forge World Iron Warriors Rhino parts.  Just as said before in the past I like sub theme my units & just add to the unit history.  So though be nice have this for there Rhino/when people are looking that the whole 1850pts army.

While the squad it self

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07273_zpsede3a02d.jpg

 

As stated that the very start of the topic.  One of the many reason for my new Iron Warriors force was down to Games Workshop release a lot of great new kits which ment a lot of cool new bits for conversion.
With the new Tactical Marines set seen a lot of new arms for exsample, allow you to have Marines shown them actual shooting there Bolter weapons.  Since this unit does not have extra Close combat weapons, though it would be good to convert a few with this.

First Imperial Fist I've painted as well.  The trophies rep the great game I had that Throne of Skulls vs the Imperial Fist during round 4.  It the ToS Sept weekend that show why I like going to events/tournament due to the brilliant games & oppents.  It also why I add these trophies to rememeber these brilliant games.

Also.......... few my friends who collect Imperial Fist armies are become a bit high & might since there getting a supplement..........  

 

Also some Horus Heresy era Iron Warriors I painted up toward a hobby challenge I had recently.  Still need to get another few MkIII kit

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07279_zpsa855fb47.jpg

This might end up as a small army, not quite sure right now.  But right now I just wanted to paint up some Heresy era Iron Warriors.

 

Also a while back I commented that I'm a big fan of the Fallen Angels & Cypher.  After seen Eddie conversion of Cypher during Throne of Skulls, it inspire me to make a Mk2, as I had the box game Chaplain model spare after those Forge Chaplain conversion I've converted for my Iron Warriors.
I try to make mine different & I hope Eddie does not mind, pretty much any army Eddie converted/painted always brilliant & got ton's of great conversion, as you can see from his Fallen Angels & his Eldar army seen in the White Dwarf during Armies on Parade article.

 

As said before it seen really cool armies like Eddie & from events like Throne of Skulls Sept that I enjoy seeing, getting tons of idea to use in my own army/collection.

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07283_zpsb788785b.jpg

 

I use the sword from the Mk1 Cypher conversion I done a while back.  I've also use the arm's from the Ravenwing Knight set, Iron Halo from the Marine Captain box set & the hooded head is from the Deathwing Knight box set.

Painting wise I mange to find a way to paint the robes, something I struggle with.  I went with Steel Legion drab as the base coat, Sepia wash, Karak, then bleach bone, then highlight with White Scar white.

 

I am looking into re-start my Fallen Angels unit.  As said a while back I sadily lost a lot of bits while I was trying to convert the unit due to moving house.
So I've added a unit of Fallen Angels to my Call of Chaos oath.

 

I've enter into Call of Chaos VI

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280738-call-of-chaos-vi/

I'd recommend any Chaos player should take part in this.  It help give a deadline in regard to painting models, but it also great to see all the cool models other member from our fourm do & get a lot of great support to get these new units finish.

For me I'm aim on converting/painting - Warpsmith (base on my Avatar kindly drawn by madscuzzy, admin of our fourm), Sorcerer using the bits from Erebus, 20 Cultist arm with Close Combat Weapons, Dreadnought, unit of 5 Iron Warriors & a unit of 9 Fallen Angels.

I'm just wanting to add a few finial bit just so I got the units there in the event I need them for any future events or just general games that my local GW store & wargaming club.
 

Finial

 

Back in July the fourm seem to have lost a lot of post just after the 12th of July.  It seem my Lord of Skulls update went missing   So though I get the photos back up of the model that where taken back in July.

I found the Lord of Skulls was a really good model to build & paint & also really enjoy using the model in a few Apocalypse games over the past few months.

 

Next update should be by the end of the week on the Rhino & new squad of Iron Warriors for Rapid Fire.

As this unit has shown, no matter what unit or point my Iron Warriors are (over 7000pts now) there always new units to add for diffrent events.
Like wise really like useing the Forge World Iron Warriors front armour part.

 

For Rapid Fire, my Iron Warriors also pick up Best army award which I'm really happy about. There a lot of great armies that Rapid Fire from a Khorne theme Daemon force, Eldar & Tau, just to name a few.

The Heresy box is the Abaddon vs Loken duel from Forge World which was the prize for best army, which is really cool & I am looking forward to building/painting the duel. I'm possible going to convert up Abaddon a little bit so he can be use in my Iron Warriors or any future Chaos Space Marine armies.

 

Just a few photos from Rapid Fire tournament

I had 6 brillaint games. End of the day, I will aim to win my games (other wise there no challenge). However in the long run, as long as a game brillaint & oppent got a great attuide that the main thing for any game for me. I want to finish a tournament/event know I had x amount of brillaint games & just really enjoy the tournament it self like today.

I think in 12 year I been going to tournament, I only had five terrible games/oppent I never want to get a game against again. But I had a lot more games that been brillaint & I'll rememeber for a long time/sort of why I like added the trophies to rememeber those great games.

 

Next event for the Iron Warriors will be D.W.A.R.F wargaming club - Winter War which is toward Charity (sp)/all money goes toward. It 1750pts.

Hey there, just want to say I love this thread. Followed your work for quite some time now on different forums. It's always been great inspiration! So thanks and keep it up. The white dwarf feature is well earned as well. I hope that in the future the dice will fall more in your favor.
