Beachymike123 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 While painting my CSM squad and chosen for my vow, i came across a small conundrum - what colour do i do the horns for my iron warriors? i've always had a soft spot for them, and they have been in my chaos armies over the years in many roles, but i want them to have a stronger place in my new warband, so the majority will be from the IV Legion. however, i've been playing them since 2nd ed, when their horns were red, and loved them when they got their own boxed set, which is when i first noticed they had changed the horn colour to bone. just wondering what the general consencus among iron warrior players is? also, as i haven't read many iron warrior books, does anyone have any descriptions or references to iron warrior sorcerors? i only ask as i'd imagine they'd be different to most legions because of their appearance and the fact their possessed are more like machines from their descriptions. many thanks in advance, leinmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Warrior w/ Servo Arm Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I painted my old ones red as it was just plain easier. The tutorials for bone involved an additional chestnut wash so I stayed away. That said, the bone does seem to look less bland. I would go for it.

Warsmith Aznable Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 One more vote for bone. I had never heard of the red horns, as I have not been playing since ye olden tymes, but after looking at a couple pictures of this style I can say I don't like the red. If you have to have horns on your helmets (and I don't really like the horns anyway) then they might as well look like horns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 also, as i haven't read many iron warrior books, does anyone have any descriptions or references to iron warrior sorcerors? i only ask as i'd imagine they'd be different to most legions because of their appearance and the fact their possessed are more like machines from their descriptions. The 3.5 CSM codex stated that Iron Warrior possessed were not in fact daemonically possessed but rather possessed of powerful cybernetics powered by bound daemons - I've always taken that as an under-the-counter 'yes' since the daemons still need binding.

minigun762 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 If I see horn looking material, its getting a good bone color applied to it. I guess I'm just a traditionist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Keyaetus Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Bone, but metallic could also work. +1 to hazard stripes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulminata Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I painted mine in a Dark brown with a dry rush of bleached bone. The tips are completely bleach bone, the base Dark brown and the middle varying shades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth_giles Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I liked the old red horns too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llagos_Tyrant Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I always paint my horns for my Iron Warriors (or anything else) like bone. That's how it should be in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
