A Labour of Love: Iron Hands to 2.5k and beyond

That conversion beamer design looks awful familiar. Did you happen to see my Astral Claws Techmarine? Either that or you and I think on very similar wave lengths.

 

Beautiful army by the way.

Yeah! Thanks, I was looking for the model that inspired it, and it was your tech marine that did it.

That's a stunning looking Iron Hands army. I won't bother repeating the compliments given by others (though I'll second them). Something I noticed is that the bases work very well, providing a strong contrast while providing some warmth to the army, without cluttering things up.

Hey!

 

I actually saw pictures of this force on the Anvilarium Face Book page! Looking really sharp, I can definitely appreciate how you took the Tartaros pattern terminators and actually made them look good. Honestly did not like those models at all until I saw what you did with them. Lens clusters, brilliant.

 

I think the idea of seeing all of our Iron Hands armies arrayed on one game board would be quite the site. Especially if we're all collecting different clans! Which I believe we are, actually... I'll have to compile a list of everyone's clans, see how many over 10 we actually are! Haha!

 

Beautiful stuff brother,

Just a quick one from me today - keeping the thread alive. I'm in the middle of prepping for a long weekend of hobby fun including a trip to the Forgeworld Open Day.

Changed out his head and added some Servo Skulls.

Assault Squad. 

 

I've posted some more pics over at PaintWaterDiaries: Iron Hands

 

In other news, with those new Mechanicum Robot Dudes from Forgeworld, I've finally caved and ordered the parts towards a small pre-heresy force!

After the forgeworld open day, I couldn't fight the urge any more. I'm going to work on a small pre-heresy force for my IH. 


The intention is to use as much as I can from my current army with the addition of a few other key units... mostly contemptors...

Including the existing contemptor, this is my second. Converted from a deathguard version, I feel it has the necessary brutal and mechanical feel to it. I've gone and magnetised the left arm to add a bit of flexibility, and so I can 'counts as' Bjorn when the mood takes me. 


Aaaannnd... the first 'heresy' Marine:

Well, you definitely make me angry at myself for not investing in the earlier marks of armor for my guys, I had intended to do just that moving forward, but still..

 

Stuff looks great, you reached into my mind and extracted the use of the DG Contemptor as well, stop taking away my originality!

 

Looking forward to seeing some paint!
