sword brethren Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hello. i have decided to reform my Iron warriors army and thought i would share some ideas and plans for the summer so i can bring a well made competitive Iron Warriors army back to University afterwards. So! to the Characters. Grand Warsmith Ferrox Kreige Grand Warsmith Ferrox Kreige has a fearsome reputation, a Terran born who changed his Terran name to Ferrox Kreige, an Olympian name. Kreige (a sergeant at the time of Perturabo's discovery) quickly rose in the ranks of the Iron Warriors immpressing his father with his steely determination and disregard of those who might hold him back. Kreige became Warsmith in the place of the failiure Warsmith Krendl and led his forces at the seige of Terra and has since banned religious dedication to chaos gods in favour of fighting for the destruction of mankinds shambling empire. Since the failure of Horus' rebellion, Kreige has led a small sized force of Iron Warriors against citadels of all races contemplating what possible challenges could beat him after bringing the Emperor's own walls down. Kreige's exploits in carrying the Legions traditional style of warfare to great sucess and swelling of Legionnaires under his command has caused the Primarch to once again be interested in Kreige's abillities. Peturabo has sent one of his most logical and successful commanders to bring Kreige back under the Primarch's gaze, an act that appears to have been unusually well received by Kreige. Iron Champion Flussigkeit Jared Flussigkeit has been second in command to Kreige for the past century, a century that has driven Flussigkeit to a bizarre unknown diety. The Iron Champion as he is known to the legionaires 11th company has struck a deal with an ancient unknown god for power and to become ultimate embodiment of his legion to impress his Primarch and gain control of the company. This deal left Flussigkeit more of an Iron Warrior that he could ever have been... Flussigkeit literally became an Iron Warrior, An Astartes made of an unknown liquid metal contained within power armour. He found to his delight that his power increased dramatically and that his could send gouts of molten metal from his hands. Rumour in the company is that a deal was struck with a Necrontyr lord and that his presence is no longer of human origin. Recognising Flussigkeit's new power Kreige awarded Flussigkeit with an ancient weapon from mankinds infancy in the void, a staff with a blade of roaring plasma flame. whether this gift was given in respect or fear is left unanswered. Ganimach, The Device, Commander of Perturabo's Assault Forces and envoy of alligience to Ferrox Kreige http://th03.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2011/312/9/5/ganimach__the_device_by_greyall-d4fihfn.jpg Greyall has kindly allowed me to use this character in my army and it is this peice of art that inspired me to re-make my Iron Warriors, his thread of artwork can be found on the following link allow with Fluff for this character. http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...0161&st=150 Ganimach has been almost completely accepted by Kreige (but not by many legionaires under his command) after the 'untimely death' of 11th companys assault captain, Ganimach has assumed control of close quarters assault forces in the 11th after orders from Peturabo to bring Kreige back under control and back into the other forces directly commanded by the Primarch. It remains to be seen whether Ganimach is present to take the 11th by force or whether he has convinced Kreige to return to the Peturabo for orders. that is the fluffy part of the post for now, each squad champion with have his own backstory once i have made them. C&C is welcomed for the development of my characters or any advice would be appreciated. thanks SB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252164-iron-warriors-11th-seige-company/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathar the great Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 You do know that Flussigkeit means nothing but "a liquid". I know it works with the fluff you have but anyone who knows a little german will find it more funny than anything else. Great conversions as always, though. I'm really looking forward to what you come up with for Greyall's artwork.

Kassill Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 There something off about Flussigkeit leg pose. Almost like he's about to take a squatting position. Maybe if I could see some more pics from different angles, might be an illusion of sorts. Ganimach is going to look awesome! Can't wait to see him finished! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252164-iron-warriors-11th-seige-company/#findComment-3063300 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Flusgeit is freaking awesome! Seriously your modelling skills are off the chain right now! Only thing I would make different is make the chain blades on the obliteraptors arms a mm or two longer.

sword brethren Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 thanks Terminatorinhell i see what you mean about the claws, i didn't want to make them look really long because the autocannon arm is already huge. i have an update, my first 'plague marine', a champion with a powerfist and combiflamer. i don't know whether i should make the whole squad using the doghouse gothic marine method or just to two champions, what do you guys think? i also have an update on the Oblitoraptor (mostly his retinue) he is now mounted on his base ready for me to mount the jump pack and have a third try at his face. his retinue are being made, being in close quarters with someone with the Oblit Virus makes it very likely to spread... so i thought i would model these guys just in the starting phases of the Oblit virus. i also took a shot of my "best bitz" box, when i put all the cool looking bitz i am likely to use. and after week home this is what i have done to my desk... anyway, let me know what you think of the stuff and opinions on how i am doing to plague marine squad would be great thanks SB Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252164-iron-warriors-11th-seige-company/#findComment-3074299 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kizzdougs Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Awesome! I'd been hopping your Iron Warriors would make a come back. The new minis are looking great. The guitar wire is particularly good. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Hopefully we'll get a new codex soon and your army will grow even more ;) Check out the E Tenebrae Lux challenge if you haven't already. These guys would be perfect for it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/252164-iron-warriors-11th-seige-company/#findComment-3074349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicced Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 outstanding work brother! one thing on the oblitoraptor though. it looks like his right leg is going to be entangled in the base decoration, maybe you should place him a little more to the front of the base...

These guys would be perfect for it. a new codex is a must, i hope we get legion traits! i checked out the link and took the plunge, i have sworn Flussigkeit and Ganimach with his retinue to the cause! It still lives! it does indeed. outstanding work brother! one thing on the oblitoraptor though. it looks like his right leg is going to be entangled on the base decoration, maybe you should place him a little more to the front of the base... thanks, you are right about the leg, i dont know whether than is the picture or the model, i will take a closer look later. Fantastic conversions!

Ovidius Incertus Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 This looks great! Definitely want to see how this progresses. And the use of guitar string is a great idea.
