The IVth Legions Astartes

Recommended Posts

Greetings everyone,

This is the first posting of my work Ive ever done. That being said I'd love to hear all of the feedback you have on it be it positive or negative. I am completely ready for 30k battles and this is where I am cataloging all the glory of the Iron Warriors.

THE THEME

The basis for the army is set at the Dropsite Massacre, so lots of desert goodness coming your way. I will be using this blog to bounce ideas off of you guys as well as my local gaming club HOBBY CENTRAL WAR BOYZ. I want this army to have loads of troops and armour all around.

MY PLAN

At this point I have begun building the IVth Legion starting with the Primarch Perturabo. From that point on I will be building up the infantry base of the force. I am in no way made of money as I suspect most of you are in the same boat.

Currently I have:

1- Perturabo

40- Tactical Marines

5- Rhinos

1- Razorback

The tactical marines will be converted into various Mk armour types of the Heresy Era Legion. At this point Perturabo is complete and I have posted him in the Tale of 20 Gamers Parallel Thread.

Here are some of the WIP shots of Perturabo

Mr. eversole! It's Grog! Perturabo, looks super rad!

 

Thanks a lot everyone for the comments.

 

Grotsmasha- I have also noticed in the Collected Visions, Perturabo dawning terminator armour. Maybe when the Forge World version comes out he will be in terminator armour. I'll buy it either way.

 

Empty Choke- you'll have to help me improve my face painting its a bit rough.

 

NEW IDEA:

I have contacted Gav Thorpe via facebook and he has given me his overall idea and inspiration for the Thunderstrike Assault Guns (featured in his audiodrama Raven's Flight). More on that in the coming weeks.

 

Gav says its like this tank Bandkannon on a rhino chasis.

Here's an update on the Iron Warriors got all the greenstuff work done on the first five Mk V marines. Now they have been primed and ready for paint this week.

I also finished assembly on the other 5 marines in the squad. Now its time to paint the first five and add studs to the second group here.

Nice, cheating by using GW bitz instead ;). Not everyone who wants a Heresy army wants an extra mortgage ;)

Any idea how those Kabuki miniatures match up with FW's Angron size wise?

They look pretty darn cool

I do think Angron is a little taller than the Kabuki model, though both are bent quite a bit at the knee. I think they are pretty close in size I'll show both the FW Angron and the Steel Knight. Hope these help.

Angron

So a change of direction as I still have tons of 40k Iron Warriros to paint. I'm tired of not having anything built or painted so here we go. The 40k side here is set on Hydra Cordatas (Storm of Iron) I could even tie in my Pre-Heresy guys to the same planet. Pics to follow as I can't get them to load from my phone.
