Your work never fails to impress me, Mortis - these termies are no different, they prefectly capture the whole aesthetic of the IV^th Legion

Plus the choice of Tartaros armour instead of Cataphractii (which I'd imagine is the typical choice for Iron Warrior players) is pretty cool

yep! they are awesome! i want to see more :P

[Chaeron]

Looks awesome - love your work as others have said - so can't wait to see this develop.

 

 

[Augustus b'Raass]

I can only reiterate what the others have said: great work, great picture, great paint job, great choice of armour. Double thumbs up, mate!

[chaplain mortis]

@iron hands fanatic. ..thank you so much for your kind words..very appreciated, I always had in mind that the iv legion would be a "battered" non shiny looking army...and I wanted to try tartaros pattern as I have never painted them before...but I do have 10 cataphractii ready for spraying lol

 

@Atia...thank you for taking the time to reply...very appreciated. .and have a couple more termies done now for your perusal...many thanks again..

 

@Chaeron...very grateful for your reply..happy you like my work :-)...plenty more iv legion to come..thanks again.

 

@Raass...always a pleasure to have a reply from you...gonna see if I can finally get round to putting your namesake In this army haha..thanks again for taking the time to comment.

 

So another 2 done...5 more to go..then on to another unit.

Gonna put this one to a vote..

Next unit to be painted should be...

Tactical squad?

Cataphractii squad?

3 contemptors and 2 deredeo?

 

Let me know, and anybody know if the ETL is happening earlier this year?

 

Thanks for looking

[Atia]

they look superb =) 

 

 

 

3 contemptors and 2 deredeo?

do that! we need more dreadnoughts ^_^ but ... you could save them for ETL :P more points for the heresy :)

[chaplain mortis]

Cheers Atia...very looking forward to painting the dreads...but that is alot of points towards the heresy forum for Etl.. (assuming its happening)

 

Thanks again for commenting

[deathspectersgt7]

Great job on the Terminators.

[hushrong]

Very nice! I love the weathering done on them!

[Flint13]

Spectacular!

 

I love how you seamlessly transfer from the muddy weathering at the bottom to the scratchy, battleworn look at the top. 

 

What's next on the list? 

[Brother Dallo]

I'm liking your Iron Warrior terminators. As has been said, choosing Tartarus over Cataphractii is an interesting choice, and I think choosing the less stereotypical armour mark really works.

 

Thanks for stopping by in my plog.

 

Keep up the good work.

[Der_H]

Love the termies. The weathering is great. powders?

[chaplain mortis]

@DSS7...really appreciate your comments mate, thanks for popping by! Cheers

 

@Hushrong....many thanks for leaving a great reply...mucho appreciated.

 

@Flint (lady mod)...thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, and added a pic below of what I would like to do next...need more primer!!! Thanks again for your reply always a pleasure.

 

@Brother dallo, thanks for your reply mate, I would thoroughly recommend tartaros pattern as they are a joy to paint, these were originally for my world eaters army...they just got reassigned to a different legion..

Will be keeping an eye on your plog for some inspiration! Thanks again

 

@Der H...thanks for the reply buddy...and yep, various weathering powders were used, but also oils and enamels for the grimy/rusty parts...thanks for stopping by

 

And just as a weird update..thought it would be interesting to show a side by side of some w.i.p

 

From left to right..

Termie just primed..zenithal high lit and glazed

Termie as before but with basic colours and a wash laid down

Termie as before but with chipping, oils and enamels applied...just awaiting basing, matt varnishing and powders..

 

Thanks for looking and appreciate all the replies and likes!

[Augustus b'Raass]

MIxing up the different Contemptor parts, eh? I wish I had done that with mine. Unfortunately I don't have the patience and just build and paint them up as I get them....

Lookign forward to those of yours though!!!!

[Daemon2027]

Oh the Iron Warriors are looking very nice mate, the finished weathering is fantastic. I've started to experiment with oil paints for weathering, hopefully I can get results similiar to you.

[daemonclaw]

once again some great siegebreakers looking as dirty as the sons of ferrus war veterans should look imho,with all the siege tactics going on you dont really have time to repaint your armour.this is how i imagine them to look ,like christina says diiiiiirty

[DeathbyWes]

The weathering on those Termis is so slick!  Lookin forward to seein those dreadnoughts painted up.

-W

[chaplain mortis]

@Raass.... haha, I had those contemptors for so long in bits, it seemed to make sense in just trying to mix them up. Hope to have the 3 of them painted in the next few weeks..thanks again for keep popping by mate!

 

@ The Hydra...hope your well mate? Thanks for your comments, hope the oils are working out for you? Just remember to varnish your acrylic work first and your good to go! If you ever need any help with em then just give me a shout!

 

@DC...cheers for the reply...glad you lime the dirty buggers, something of a difference to your book selling boys haha!

 

@DeathbyWes ....thanks so much for a great reply! Glad you like the weathering...keep your eyes peeled in the next few weeks for the dreads. ..and maybe 2 Deredeo if they ever turn up lol..thanks again..

 

Finished the unit of termies off...nitemare trying to photo the em all in a unit..

Hope you guys like and a teaser of what is coming soon..

 

Thanks for looking guys

Yeah I'm good mate, you? Work with the oils has been intresting so far, like definitely eye opening. And I have varnished, in fact experimenting with different varnishes for differnt effects.

 

Love the TDA's, only thing I could say is maybe a bit of colours in the eyes just to add so rhying to the metals and dirt.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Looking good mate! 

 

 

May I ask why on the left guy, you choose to put the left shoulder on the right side and vice versa? It's an interesting effect.

[chaplain mortis]

@the hydra...im good mate thanks...and thanks for commenting, glad the oils are working out for ya!

As for the eye lenses...im gonna hold my hands up and just say it sheer laziness on my part lol...but I have been experimenting with tamiya clears for lens effects. .thanks again for replying.

 

@Raass...hope all is well with you mate? Thanks again for your continued interest. ..regarding the shoulders, I just thought they looked better that way round lol..abit more like the mkiv shoulder pad of similar design..

 

Quick update,

 

Second layer of weathering is down...bit of a rusty pup at the mo...varnish and addition of arms will tone the look down though.

 

Thanks for looking guys

[Dantioch]

Looking awesome man! Can't wait to get my hands on a contemptor such a cool model

[Augustus b'Raass]

You're really not fracking around huh, with that IW weathering. It looks sooooo good. Dang!

 

I like the shoulders like that, mind you! It's just that I've never seen it and thought it creative.
