GhostMalone Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 And I'm all flustered over the heavy weapons ;) Maybe some volkite culverns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calgar 2.0 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Heathens, do you use a bitz website at all? If so, which one do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adeptus-Alaska Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 no, he really doesn't, at least after seeing his bitz-box. he has about 1.5 decades of bitz collected! it's glorious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 And my Officers are made of dead Thunder Warriors, stitched back together. On a serious note, I decided the HB didn't quite meet my standard, so he's back on the chopping block. I should have an update on him by tomorrow.

I prefer to either fall back on what I got, or trade. When all else fails, I usually use Ebay or the Warstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I really dig how rough and gritty your marines are. I would however like to make a suggestion. Your marines live and die in the trenches, yet only their feet get dirty? I believe some well placed patches of mud are in order. Specifically the hands, elbows and knees. With just some tasteful additions of mud, you visually expand the story that you tell with each model. I look forward to your progess. Who knows, maybe this will inspire me to jump in the delorean with you and take a ride to 30k. On the opposite side of course. My loyalty will always be to the tenth ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 A redo of the HB guy. I'm much happier with this version, looks like he's carrying a monstrous MG-42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demus Ragnok Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Yeah I like the MG 42 better than the first hb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot better, but it makes me think of a Lewis gun with the cooling shroud on the barrel, minus the drum mag on top: http://i.imgur.com/bQUecOz.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy1391 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yea I thought Lewis gun or a Maxim08 when I first saw it as well. Would fit with Heathens Great War inspirations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Heinrich Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Like the new gun, but his left arm feels awkward, just tried bending my arm like that.... yep awkward. Can you straighten it out at all like the Aliens Smart Gun pic on the last page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Like the new gun, but his left arm feels awkward, just tried bending my arm like that.... yep awkward. Can you straighten it out at all like the Aliens Smart Gun pic on the last page?I just tried to see if it was accurate. Heinrich is right. It's awkward around the shoulder so maybe if you could swing it to the character's right a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vile Siren Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Awesome work so far! I feel Iron Warriors have a lot of potential to be a great and brutal looking force and I think you are pulling that off nicely with the different count as guns and different combos of bits to make them all look awesome. If I may ask what paint did you use for the skin on your hammer guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Yeah gotta agree about the hand. Perhaps you can model the heavy bolter with a grip on the top? As for my previous comment on dirtying up your models, apparently I have failed to notice your response to similar responses. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 Love the body of the gun what bit is it from? The Ork Stubber from the AoBR box, chopped down. That's a lot better, but it makes me think of a Lewis gun with the cooling shroud on the barrel, minus the drum mag on top: A side shot (which I'll put up later) will dissuade that. ;) Like the new gun, but his left arm feels awkward, just tried bending my arm like that.... yep awkward. Can you straighten it out at all like the Aliens Smart Gun pic on the last page? 'Tis true, but the Mk. III torso is not built to be flexible, sadly. I can't bring myself to place the grip any further forward, because I want the barrel to be interchangeable in case of a burnout. Melting barrels are never fun, especially when the rounds you're firing are mass reactive. Awesome work so far! I feel Iron Warriors have a lot of potential to be a great and brutal looking force and I think you are pulling that off nicely with the different count as guns and different combos of bits to make them all look awesome. If I may ask what paint did you use for the skin on your hammer guy? Just had a procedure done on my back today, so I'm laid up in the Recliner of Doom. When I can get down the stairs to the War Room without falling, I'll post the recipe. Yeah gotta agree about the hand. Perhaps you can model the heavy bolter with a grip on the top? As for my previous comment on dirtying up your models, apparently I have failed to notice your response to similar responses. My bad. I am violently against top-mounted grips.

You could always make the grip part of each barrel (240 for example again, but in reverse for the carry handle rotation) that would even expedite his barrel changes. Bolt to the rear, Flip his grip, rotate 90°, push up and pull out hot barrel, grab new barrel, put in and pull down, rotate handle down 90°, ready to rock.

BassWave Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 They might make sights on top for a reason in today's world, but to be fair, there are targeters in astartes helmets ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyaenidae Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 Targeters are tools, and tools break. Shock and concussion of non-stop and continuous artillery bombardments can raise all sorts of hell with electronics, and broken lenses don't heal like the Iron Within. Nothing beats Mk. I 'Eyeball' targeters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
