shaw3029 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 With my Imperial Fist army well on its way I have decided its time to start a new Legion. Who better to go up against my Fists than Iron Warriors? I repurposed some models I had planned to use for the Fists such as the recon squad & a bunch of mk2/3 tactical marines who are much more suited to the Iron warriors. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/imagejpg3.jpg http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/imagejpg2.jpg http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/imagejpg4.jpg http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/imagejpg5.jpg http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/imagejpg6.jpg http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/imagejpg1.jpg Hope you like what you see so far.

Brother Vidius Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Great stuff! Exactly what IW should look like. Really like the sergeant with power sword, great pose!

Larkyn Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Ooooh...are those Chapterhouse Mk1 pads I see spread around? I've always like those pads, and I think they fit very well with the Iron Warriors. Which, by the way, the IW are looking sweet so far. And is that Book 3 in the background. Jealous.

shaw3029 Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Wow, thanks for the great response guys. I started work on a old squad of terminators that I had lying around from my imperial fists. I don't think they will be part of the army so they may find there way onto eBay. I should have them finished with some pics up early next week. Ooooh...are those Chapterhouse Mk1 pads I see spread around? I've always like those pads, and I think they fit very well with the Iron Warriors. Which, by the way, the IW are looking sweet so far. And is that Book 3 in the background. Jealous. They are indeed, they don't fit great though as they are a bit shallower than the regular shoulder pads but they can be made to work. It is indeed book 3. I picked up the collectors edition at the forge world open day. Cheers!

lokkorex Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 i remember seeing your iron warrior dreadnought on warseer many moons ago, and this is just as cool as the dreadnought! what HQ are you thinking about doing?

shaw3029 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 i remember seeing your iron warrior dreadnought on warseer many moons ago, and this is just as cool as the dreadnought! what HQ are you thinking about doing? Thanks, They are now long gone! Sold on ebay about two years ago now. They were a test for this army and a good practise for when I first started using a airbrush. I liked them but because I used a oil based paint and white spirit for that they can out a little too brown for my liking. No iron warrior should be grey knight shiny but they did quiet make the cut for me. Hoping to rectify that with these guys. I've not planned a full list yet as I've just made a small start on the army using units I have lying around but I do like the idea of using a moritat as the dirty tactics of him and a destroyer squad certainly suit the iron warriors. I also love bit of the special characters from book three so they may be making a appearance (although not at the same time as one is loyalist and the other is a traitor) Cheers!

Delvarus Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Love the recon squad. can picture them blending into ruined building and your opponent forgetting they are there.

War Head Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 excellent work brother! love the weathering, and interesting choice for eye lens colouring!

November Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Your grubby (in a good way) Imperial Fists were a big inspiration when I got back into the hobby, and your test IW squad looks awesome. This'll make for a really nice companion army to your completed Fists, and I imagine the metallics will be an interesting challenge to weather. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses...

shaw3029 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thanks again guys, I chose the lens colour as I personally like a nice bright green and it contrasts well with the dark metallics. I've just finished a squad of terminators, http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/image.jpg I converted these guys years ago from the plastic kit using a multitude of parts long before forge world had even started releasing any kits suitable for the Heresy. The shoulder pads are maxi mini, all imperial eagles have been removed, studs have been added, helmets converted, the reaper auto cannon is converted from the space wolf assault cannon (great backpack feed), the only recent addition are the twin linked bolters. Here are some close ups for you guys. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/image-2.jpg http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/image-3.jpg http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/image-4.jpg http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/image-1.jpg Hope you like em. Next up and very nearly completed (waiting on some shoulder pads) is similarly old assault squad. Cheers!

shaw3029 Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Thanks guys, I've made some progress on my Iron warriors. As well as assault marines & more tacticals marines I've also completed a dreadnought. Expect to see photos of the other marines soon but for now here's my dread. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/image-11.jpg Wouldn't be complete without a drop pod. http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr212/michaelshaw55/Iron%20warriors/image-6.jpg Cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290006-shaw3029s-heresy-iron-warriors/#findComment-3725557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
