Shattered Legions : Vulkan Lives! Edition... (new scheme)

[The Pounder]

Brushed steel ftw!

[Skalpynock]

Go with metal. They're Iron Hands, after all.

[Charlo]

Steel ftw. Similar to how I'll be painting mine (if/ when) I do them!

[Reyner]

Dark, scorched and angry iron is the colour you need. 

[Dantioch]

Have to agree with everyone else, that brushed steel is awesome!

[Dantay VI]

I like the brushed steel over the black.

I may be in the minority, by saying it needs to be a bit darker, as ever the problem is that washes will really dull the steel to a grey.

 

However the use of reds and blues will definitely offset them from the Iron Warriors.

 

Go with your gut. It never lies ;)

[Quixus]

Brushed steel does look better, but it makes them look quite distinct from their 40K counterparts. Not that that is a bad thing. BTW did the white bolters come about after the heresy or are they simply not painted yet?

[jimbo13]

Brushed steel draw!!!

[Galron]

I would go for a darker almost black. Right now aside from the red pad, I would say they look like a good IW scheme. Even the red pad could be chocked up to them being a different company than the hazard stripes guys. Sure you don't want to do IW? You have the scheme down pretty good.

2 days away from this thread and it's mind blowing. Brushed steel looks sick. Reckon it would look as good on a Vehicle?

[Spinsanity]

I've said it on FB and I'll it here again to drive the point home, I prefer the brushed steel look by far

[Memento Of Prospero]

I say go for it with the brushed steel; once it's darkened it should look really nice. Besides, I've always felt that the Heresy had too many armies that were literally just black (hence mine being brown-bronze...). Good luck!

Yeah go for the Brushed Steel!

Well you guys made it easy enough, with the feedback I've received all around, I will go forward with brushed steel! Thanks a bunch for the support!

@ Galron I would rather have a dead primarch than one that struts around with a stolen weapon, not man enough to make is own ;)

I'd just like to point out that while he didn't steal it, Ferrus didn't make it either...

It was a trade of worthy, handmade weapons. He also made weapons for other Primarchs, because Ferrus is a bro like that

[Pearson73]

Just to echo everyone else; the brushed steel's looking spot on.

[Frostmourne]

Still so stuck on painting my IH. So many varieties.

Seriously, the brushed steel does look great. Now I may have to redo some of my Iron Hands I started.

Hmm, or do you think they would look okay in both schemes together?

Maybe just for my 30K force... the rest can be... elsewhen...

[Lord Blackwood]

I really like the brushed steel version

You can do detroyers and immortals differet if you want. You could also differenciate veterancy or Isstvan survivors with it as well.

Also for anyone wondering how hard it is, it's ridiculously fast and easy to do. If there is interest, I'll do a step by step.

[jimbo13]

DO IT!!!! It would be nice to see an Iron Hand show some hussle. Not so fast that heads roll though..... KID'S GOT JOKES!!!

I'm all (g)ears!

[Memento Of Prospero]

Alright, since I have to paint this guy for my March of the Legions miniature, I will do a step by step. Should be doing him tomorrow.

Solek Jisteus, Moritat of Clan Tabarn'akk

[jimbo13]

He looks suitably nasty.... Real nice looking chap. Love the use of the astral claws model. CHOOM!!!

[Lord Blackwood]

Oh man , that guy looks like an absolute beast , i love how you were able to make him look so  suitable for your legion. Really looking forward to seeing homeboy painted.
