I love that Contemptor with the Imperial Fist being destroyed! How did you do the banding on the Contemptor itself?

[lokkorex]

Ratking: beautiful army and models, mate!

[ratking]

Wow, that's quite a big army you're having there - impressive! Do you have close-ups of your superheavy and your HQs? I'd really love to see those in more detail

Sorry no close ups of the shadowsword, but champions and HQ are no problem.

 

Firstly the eternal WIP that is the warsmith of the 13th grand company, Started this guy way back and am pretty tempted to strip him and start again as my painting has gotten way better since.

Lieutenant Huron Ironheart.

Lieutenant Abarax, Warpsmith. I wanted to come up with another title for him, as I think warpsmith is too close to warsmith, any suggestions?

Welcome to the IW here on the B&C!   Nice Army you got there!   Keep pics, fluff and/or battle reports coming, we're happy for everything. You can put it right here, or you can of course start an army log.

Cheers. Its pretty sweet to find such an active topic on the greatest legion.

 

I love that Contemptor with the Imperial Fist being destroyed! How did you do the banding on the Contemptor itself?

The banding is done by hand with a putty called procreate, it's like green stuff but grey. I find it does sharp lines better and is easier to file. The rivets are scale rivets from a train company called titchy trains.

If the forum rules allow it I can post my blog at dakka where I have way more pictures and all the WIPs from my projects

 

Ratking: beautiful army and models, mate!

Thanks, no sign of slowing down either.

Since then - Champion got a lot more paint, hopeful finish painting tomorrow.  Both Dreadnought have there arm glue on & the more painted one nearly finish.  Hopeful get the Dread & Champion varnish.  Then next week start painting the second Dreadnought.

 

Then it just my Lord.

Also my 5th Grand Company might possible get another Knight added to there Ranks.  Just trying think of somthing really cool for this model.  I know I want to use the IW transfer once Forge World release them.  Also make use of the new Chapter upgrade spure for trophies.

Then have this as a Warlord when I use the knight as a stand alone army.

On another note - Has anyone read Ironfire short story.  Any key point/spolier & any info on Warsmith Idriss Krendel?

 

nice bit of filler, also includes those siege engines gifted to perturabo by the lion

 

this new 40k novel is also relevant, if you read the extract

Yes I saw the book on Saturday & hopeful going to pick up my copy this weekend.

 

Any info you can give on Ironfire?  Just seen nothing on it so far & be cool find out a little bit about it & most all Warsmith Idriss.

 

[Warsmith Demetrios]

*Hopefully IP doesn't mind me using the 5th as a little portion of my war bands fluff* 

 

 

      I, Warsmith Demetrios, would like to personally introduce you the my honored, vaunted warriors of the 25h Grand Company                                            The Iron Warriors 25^th Grand Company

                                               

 

            Commander: Warsmith Demetrios

 

 

 

Estimated Strength: 1000 Astartes operating alongside the Warsmith at any given time (skeletal force of 200 left behind on Medrengard on rotation to guard any holdings and keeps), several Dark Mechanicum elements, innumerable mortal military assets organized into a military force known as the “Steel Sons”

 

 

 

Base of Operations: Space Hulk vessel Gorgophone and the Mirekeep on Medrengard.

 

 

 

Sub-Groups/Cults: Inquisitorial records from past millennia suggest that amongst the 25^th Grand Company there seems to be a slight split in the way worship of the Archenemy is conducted. It seems that the overwhelming majority of marines within the warband have served since the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, and many of them were recruited directly from the Iron Warriors original home world of Olympia. Testimonies extracted from mortal serfs of these warriors encourage the idea that the rituals and practices of worship amongst many of these warriors are strongly similar to a blending of pre-Imperial Olympian religious practices hybridized with daemon world culture. As such, the painting/etching of daemonic runes, and ancient constellations meant to evoke dark power on their power armor is commonplace. However later recruits, almost exclusively from more savage daemon worlds, see such organized worship as foolish and pointless. To them, the only way to honor the Gods is to send to them the screaming souls of their enemies. There is rarely any conflict between these two subgroups, apart from the instigation of hostilities mainly caused by the terminator champion known as “The Beast”.

 

 

 

Interactions with other Grand Companies/Legions: holds a “friendly” rivalry with the 5^th Grand Company of Warsmith Abhorred Riddick, the latent hostilities of which only being held in check by Demetrios and Riddick’s lieutenants when operating together. Deep mistrust and hostility towards the Emperor’s Children. Passing association with warbands from many of the other traitor legions, both friendly and hostile.

 

 

 

Attitude: Demetrios seems to see himself as a builder of a new order. He hopes to help in the building of a new Imperium under the banner of Chaos after Abaddon has led the final Black Crusade against Terra.

 

 

 

Quotes by members of the 25^th -

 

 

 

             “ I’ve never been one to take more enjoyment in tearing down our Grandfather’s Imperium as opposed to building something much more beautiful from the ashes.”

 

                        - Warsmith Demetrios to Black Legionnaire Kraelor, Lord of the Drael-Eshja’hk

 

 

 

            “My Warsmith and gene-brother never gave up on me. Khor’ghal would’ve consumed my soul had Demetrios not led the raid that acquired the Iron Heart. Now I am in control of my daemon, and I can march alongside my brother once more.”

 

-                    Possessed Lord Aeron, gene-brother to Warsmith Demetrios and leader of the Iron Hounds possessed pack

 

 

 

“Bring me a portion of the captives will you? I go through test subject oh so quickly, and my children do get ever so hungry.”

 

-                    Arch-Heretek Dresdon of the Torn Shroud

 

 

 

“Liquid metal will choke you’re lungs, clog you’re veins, leak through you’re eyes. And me? I will be their to rip all the secrets from you’re mind as it happens.”

 

-                    Sorcerer Lord Irimaz the “Metallurgist”

 

 

 

“GET A FLAMER ON THAT HAB-BLOC! CUT THEM DOWN! SPARE NO ONE!”

 

-                    The Beast commencing a sanctioned ritual of burning in the name of The Gods and Demetrios.

 

 

 

“The Beasts have a purpose my lord, no one is denying that or their skill in combat, but how can we fill the Gorgophone with slaves or newbloods when they kill as much as any World Eater?”

 

-                    Terminator Champion Alexon, leader of the Iron Talon Terminator squad

 

 

 

“ He sees the future in everything. Our Lord isn’t a madman who just murders mortals like some of the others. He knows without mortals there is no new Imperium, or newbloods, or means of powering the meat grinder we are. He’s shared his vision with us, and I’d gladly die a million times over to see it come to fruition.”

 

            -           Unnamed Steel Son.

Yes that ok/great   Background looking really cool, do you have any photos of your Iron Warriors force?

 

Also though I show Siege Knight I'm currently convert up for my Iron Warriors

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC09991_zpsvikj5ssg.jpg

 

Still a few parts to convert/waiting for.  Then it waiting for the Iron Warriors transfer before I can add further battle damage & weather powder to my model.

 

Also just notice it been 7 months since my Iron Warriors last saw battle in a event.  Just waiting for a Throne of Skulls to be annouce later on this year & just be great get back down to Warhammer World.

They most certainly do use Assault marines.

 

Read the Space Marines battle novel- 'Siege of Castellax' it features an Iron Warrior assault squad.

Perry - That really cool :D

[MeatGrinder]

Does anyone have any decent ideas for making spawn fit into an iron warriors theme? Less mutate-y and more mechanical. I'm considering looking into some of the mechanicum range, like the kataphron, but I feel like they mightn't be chaos-y enough. It seems finding the right balance is difficult.

I've been using Skaven Rat Ogres as a base for my spawn and added additional mutations, cables and armour plates to 40k-ify them:

In the background of my army they're the poor sods who have to care for the demon engines, e.g. chaining them again after each battle. We can all imagine what a :cussty job that's got to be... ;-)

The kataphrons would make great spawn conversion bases, I think. The price of the kits is unpleasant, but the modeling possibilities are well themed for IW.

Have you though about the Renegade Ogryn (as another chose), try convert them with a few bionic from the new Mechanicus models & add Obliterator style virus on them?
