Iron Warriors 5th Grand Company - Army log

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Aye I'll be bringing Draigo wing again, still deciding on my final list but got it down to 2 lists :thanks:

 

I'm really liking your force, I have had a soft spot for iron warriors since reading storm of iron, and have a few badly painted iron warriors in my mismatched first ever army :thanks: and I love miniguns too.

 

Your oblitorators look great too. And your objective markers might inspire me to get mine painted (3 plaguebears, yes bears). And maybe try and get one sorted for capture and control, but we shall see, I really don't enjoy painting...

 

Really looking forward to throne of skulls. And all the great armies there :lol:

 

Thanks

I've got 3 objectives sorted, I do have a spare terminator grey knight to put together, so could make a standard bearer like you, or maybe a stack of bloodletter corpses with a grey knight arm sticking out, recovering a fallen hero...

After the last update I place a Forge World order for the Renegade Militia icon & assault weapon pack

I'm going to use the torn apart body & some parts of the Milita icon on my Capture & Control object marker which is going to be base on my - 5th Grand Company Banner.

Since the last update I mange to get some time to paint the Standard Bearer

With the order arrive today, I'll get some time later this afternoon to get the banner converted up. Got a few idea from the FW stuff, to adding a plasticard/styrene Iron Warriors icon.

 

Also mange to get two of my Rhinos painted up, still got a lot to paint before these are fully painted

While the first Rhino I painted for my 1st Iron squad - Iupatus Proeliator need to be finish for tomorrow. My local GW store running a painting pledge & I chosen to get my Rhino ready for this month. Just need to paint the human head on the trophies rack & it should be finish for tomorrow as well as the Dire Avenger helmet which is base on my friend Andy Eldar base on the battle from ELG 40k Radio World Wide War & as said due to both of us work for Games Workshop a few years ago.

I've also spent some time trying to get the last Obliterators for my 1500pts force finish.

I've replace one of the finecast Techmarine arm I orignaly had, it had a chainsword. This has been replace with one of the arm's from the Bile backpack. Just felt it look cooler & also the techmarine arm broke off recently.

So hopeful get this Obliterators base (static grass & turft grass) & varnish on Sunday.

 

Champion for the 3rd unit

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04677.jpg

 

I was orignaly going to wait until FW release that Chaplain model. But if there one thing, I am not a fan of waiting. So I'm just going to get the Champion painted & if the Forge World model is release by Throne of Skulls April time, then I'll replace the head with the FW Chaplain helmet.

 

Finial one more Iron Warrior marine for my force

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04680.jpg

 

I wanted to try a diffrent conversion for Bionics. The Bionics are from the Space Marine helmet from the Space Marine Land Raider Crusader/Redeemer set place onto a T face Bezerker helmet. I also wanted to use that last Forge World Bionic arm on a Chaos Marine.

 

Right now I am just gather the bits so I can get ready to move onto the extra 250pts to bring my force to 1750pts. Going to try spend tomorrow finish painting both Rhinos. Later today try get the Capture & Control object marker finish conversion wise.

I think tomorrow or next Sat I will try get another photo of the whole 1500pts force to show how the army looking since last time.

 

Also my Iron Warriors have had there third game since I started this version of the force. Was against Space Wolves, Capture & Control, Dawn of War. Was happy not to get spearhead set up as it seem to be the one mission set up that I been getting a lot since last year & it become the bane of my life.

But the game was good vs the Space Wolves, ended in a Draw, barely anything left on the gaming table & both me & the oppent have learnt a lot from the game. So far that been a win against Blood Angels in Kill Points, a loss to Orks in d3+2 object marker & a draw in capture & control against Space Wolves.

Want to try get more games soon led up to Throne of Skulls April :D

It's looking really good, these models give me inspiration to finish my Alpha Legion squad that Im building to back up my Sons of Horus -_- Edited January 27, 2012 by Vissah

It's looking really good, these models give me inspiration to finish my Alpha Legion squad that Im building to back up my Sons of Horus :P

 

Thanks. Depend when the codex Chaos is release as rumour are point to be the first 6ed release. As well as a lot more work for my Iron Warriors. I will be aim to collect

- Alpha Legion,

- Night Lords,

- Black Legion*

*Black Legion - Black Legion was my second 40k army when I started the hobby fifteen year ago due to John Blanch art work. They where orignaly going to be taken to Conflict Scotland 2002, but Iron Warriors over took with Index Astarties being release in the White Dwarf.

Thinking of a Legion of the Damned look for my new Black Legion.

- World Eater (not like the rush force I done last year? when I barely had any of my own hobby time for a good few months)

- Fallen Angel army (inspired by a army I saw years ago that a old GW store I use to go to). Each have a lot of though/idea since 3.5 days of codex chaos & with new models being release during these years, it only added more cool idea for conversion

 

Might also possible get a force theme around the Bloodquest comics. But all this come down to the new "rumour" codex Chaos & what release model wise. As there also a Daemon force I am planning, tech-priest/chaos version of them.

 

Mange to finish the new Bionic eye Iron Warrior a few days ago

Also I've spent some time re-working the banners once more, change the yellow & black strip to the back of the banner instead of the front. Spent a bit of time today painting these.

Still a lot to go. On the back of the banner, in the blue area I want to add parts of a Chaos star. While on the front I want to add planets, ment to be shown Chaos over taken a world or somthing like that.

 

Also here my Capture & Control object marker

Since the last update with the model. I've re-position the head so it is looking more to the left. This is so the banner would not cover the face/helmet. Also it look cooler.

Like the banner above, this banner was painted a few moment ago.

 

So tomorrow I'll be aim to paint my last unit for my 1500pts, the second unit of Chaos Terminators. Once there down it just object marker & Rhinos crews. I got my first Rhino all finish for my local GW store painting pledge. So now I up the challenge, by the end of Feb I want to get my Iron Warriors 1500pts force fully painted. The deadline the 25th Feb, the day that will mark 25 year of Warhammer 40,000.

 

A few bits have been arrive for my extra 250pts to bring the force to 1750pts. Still got a bit more before I will start on this

 

Also I will need to start thinking of names for my Champions. All my units have names. Just you can't go about with a faceless army, more so with a force I collected for near half of my life.

When I get my hands on the Iron Warrior Omnibus I'll be aim to read though all this again, from the classic Storm of Iron to the new short stories.

 

The Iron Warriors 5th Grand Company will be getting a re-match against the Blood Angels I fought against on the 31st Dec. So I'll be aim to try take my camera & try see if I am able to get another photo of my whole army as it currently stand.

Your freehand skill is amazing IP. All the chaos banners and script look great.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

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.

Then as said move onto add 250pts to bring the force to 1750pts. Not sure what I will add after this, as I'll need to watch out with a "rumour" codex Chaos due for release later this year. But I'll possible be looking into a Dreadnought conversion & possible a unit of Chosen base on Fallen Angels purely for conversion & just for the one off bigger battles from time to time.

Might look into make a few extra Terminators with Power Fist in wait for the "rumour" codex Chaos. I'll also be looking that Forge World Chaos Guards & useing them to "count as" Daemons after play Space Marines on the PS3 recently for ideas.

 

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.

Are you still gonna make some Counts as Berzerkers like you said before?

The army looks great standing there mate :)

 

Are you still gonna make some Counts as Berzerkers like you said before?

 

I will be aim or try to get a Khorne Bezerker unit in the future but right now they are on hold. The orignaly 1750pts list has change. Right now Chaos Squad 3: Apocalypse sort of the Iron Warriors who are going down the path of Khorne sub theme wise, there slow going down the path, but still make use of Heavy Weapons & Specil weapons.

Once I get my 1500pts force painted, I am going back to Chaos Squad 3: Apocalypse & add the splatter blood effect like the Space Marine computer game.

 

I do want to add a unit to my IW & I think I'll be aim to make sure that the unit will be able to fit into a future Khorne force, new "rumour" codex Chaos permitting. Being inspired by the memeber Teethgrinder World Eater force.

 

Iron Warriors just won a game today as I mange to get a re-match against the Blood Angels from 31st Dec. Was spearhead (3 out of 5 games) with Capture & Control. So right now 2x Wins (Blood Angels), 2x Loss (Necrons & Orks) & a draw (Space Wolves). Just wish I stop getting spearhead set up, going to ask oppent for the next while to avoid it as getting really fed up of gettinf spearhead pretty solid since last year.

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.

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.

Dude, you should start commisions for fullsized Legion/Chapter head gear. Or, maybe you could get into helmet graphics and get commisions for those.

[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.

Looks like you had a really nice game there :jaw:

 

How is the extra armour on the Rhino's working out for you. I sometimes take it and that one game that I need it it does not seem worth the points to me. Do you need it a lot?

I'll alway take Extra armour, from my Iron Warriors to my Space Wolves force. Just end of the day it alway keep you on the move, there will be times when someone dose stun(?) the tank stop you from move & capture that object or getting away from assault/Melta weapon give the oppent that extra kill points.

I alway like to be on the move, I do not care the point cost for them. Also I like to get into assault. Armour help me out more time though out 5th ed than I can rememeber.

 

While the other side is. As said in the last update I done a model making course. Model wise this bring in elements of my college course into the hobby, same with make the icons out of the styrene/plasticard :P

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

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

Then another who make use of the FW helmets

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

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

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/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.

Yes feel free to post the photos. I found these Fallen Angels a few year back before the Games Workshop change there web site to the current format

Right now adding the Fallen just more for those one off big games I have from time to time & just right now somthing to paint while I wait on some bits to arrive to start the extra 250pts force. Also back in GW Stirling days in 2000? saw a really nice Fallen Angels theme force.

As promised here are pics of my Fallen Angels Kill Team for maybe some inspiration.

They still need to get some highlights but I think you get the idea ;)

 

These are the guys I send out into the frontline cause of there running pose :lol:

The Sarge has Feel No Pain.

These guys follow the advance and give some more fire support, also in the Kill Team games we play we play with objectives so they go for the objectives.

The Heavy Bolter has Relentless.

This guy goes on one of the flanks and moves to as much cover he can find to a nice juicy vehicle, walker or heavy armoured target.

He has Move Through Cover.

As you can see all my Fallen got all there equipment with them, even if he is not wearing his helmet he still has it with him. I did this because a Fallen Angel is mostly a loner so if it was me I would take everything I can find with me ;)

Also I hope that in the new Codex Cypher is in it and he can take a unit of Fallen as his retinue so I can play with them in bigger games ;)

 

Hope it gives you some inspiration for you models

Vissah - Thanks, look cool. Yes I hope Cypher return. Back in 2008 I use a unit of Chosen rep as Fallen Angels for a tournament that went 1500, 1750, 2000pts add 250pts per round. Went for 10 Chosen for the 2000pts game & had a model with Plasma Pistol to rep Cypher.

Just from a army I saw back in the days when I was young & going to GW Stirling, one of the gamer had a great Fallen Angels force useing the metal robe models.

 

How did you paint the robes?

 

Project Iron Warriors - Just got given some important bits today, so be building the five Chaos Marines soon, well as soon as some more Forge World Honour Guard helmet arrive.

Just need to get around to mail order bits for the two Obliterators soon as well, but that'll have to wait with 25th Feb this weekend (Iron Warrior Omnibus & Limited ed model). Get that sorted next week or so & during that time try get work on the Fallen Angels for bigger one of games/just somthing to paint right now.

 

For now it look like my Iron Warriors will be getting a game against Necrons tomorrow that my local Games club tomorrow get some practise for Throne of Skulls April!!

[Vissah]

The robes are just simply Dheneb Stone with a black wash over it :)

I'm not the best painter and I really just wants to play the game so I tend to paint my models and then use washes where ever I can for some easy painting :)

 

Looking forward to seeing your Fallen and the rest of your Iron Warriors.

Make sure you bring home a win for Chaos against the Necrons :D

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

That the 1500pts side of my Iron Warriors force now finish & ready for tomorrow for my painting pledge & for the day that will mark 25 year of Warhammer 40k. I'm going to try get some photos of the army & then unit by unit.

 

When going though my photobucket accounts, I found some photos of my IW force since 2005 when I brought the 5th Grand Company back & into the tournaments down in Warhammer World - Nottingham

So some photos of my Iron Warriors from 2005 onwords. Just let people see how my army has progress since then.

As said I'll try get photos during this week of the current Iron Warriors force. Then time permitting I hope to start getting the Chaos Marines & 2x Obliterators made along with the Fallen Angels.

 

Game vs Necrons - Was a great game. Ended in a draw with spearhead, caputre & control.

This set up will alway be the bane of my life due to rolling spearhead that many times in games. I think out of 8 games now since start this IW force, I fought it five time, while last year with my Space Wolves it all I ever seem to get!

Really nice seeing all those armies ;) I also see that squad of Fallen angels, were they good with Cypher with them?

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Really nice seeing all those armies :D I also see that squad of Fallen angels, were they good with Cypher with them?

 

If you check the Fallens angles back in that 2008 photo, it the model in the middle in the front row that rep Cypher (just a Chaos Chose with Plasma Pistol) in my army. Back then I pick Fallen Angels as I did not want to use old GW Inks on model that I'd rarely use. However with those Fallen they could be use in other armies I had back then & I had a lot of Dark Angels bits :D Went with Chosen as they made 250pts (tournament was 1500, 1750 & 2000, 250 per round) & also felt flank would suit the Fallen Angels show up with there own goals. Also thinking back to that game, it was lucky I added them draw some of my Tau oppent force away & being able to pin them so I could get into assault.

 

Update

 

Mange to get my 1500pts Iron Warriors force painted for today 25th Feb or know as 25 year of Warhammer 40k. Mange to get some photos today, some maybe blurry as they where taken quickly. Going to try get some better photos next week hopeful as I'd like to send some copy to What new today on the GW web site.

Any photos bit blurry it'll be due to rush & how busy it was today.

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC04810.jpg

 

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.
