RedwaKe Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Hi everyone So, like many of us I had a hard time choosing which legion to do but I finally did; The Iron Hands. Always liked them, they got awesome minis and I can paint them to a standard that I like in no time. Here's the test mini: http://i.imgur.com/7gc37XO.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/eGAuD0P.jpg 9 more ready for an oil wash: http://i.imgur.com/14QlwR1.jpg A lot more came in today: 2 Sicaran battle-tank, 1 vindicator, 5 Iron Hands and 15x Mk Iv Astartes http://i.imgur.com/O27BKgt.jpg Along with: http://i.imgur.com/vDGAIfI.jpg Thats it for now ! Dont know when I'll update since I have to borrow a digital camera everytime I want to take pictures.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Welcome the the fold You've got a good balance of weathering / clean surfaces going on, and I'm a fan of the green eye lenses - the test mini captures just the right level of grittyness for the Iron Tenth. Looking really good so far, & I look forward to seeing how those vehicles turn out Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299106-glory-to-the-iron-tenth-heresy-iron-hand-army/#findComment-3858942 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBA Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Nicely weathered. Will keep on an eye on this thread. Don't you just love opening up that crappy brown box? It's like christmas every time..

RedwaKe Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks for the reply guys Managed to apply and clean the oil wash. I also started gluing one of the sicaran while the wash was drying. Can't wait to paint it now ! Don't you just love opening up that crappy brown box? It's like christmas every time.. 100% agree. I just couldnt remove that stupid smile from my face until the box was empty Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299106-glory-to-the-iron-tenth-heresy-iron-hand-army/#findComment-3859047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrolf the Cunning Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Really nice work mate. There is a really nice level of weathering as others have already mentioned. Aligns very neatly with the character of the legion methinks. Where are you based if you don't mind me asking as that seems to be a pretty brutal import charge?...

Slips Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Redwake, my man, you chose a VERY good legion. Especially for Horus Heresy. Just look at Iron Hands Fanatic and Wolf_Packs stuff (among illustrious others) for inspiration / an idea as to what I meant :p That said, your own IH's are VERY nice, indeed. Keep up the good work! I too like the Crappy brown FW Box. They look so underwhelming considered to whats inside that its always a treat to rip into it.

RedwaKe Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 YOURE IN QUEBEC!??!?!??!?!?!?! DUDE! Me, Wolf_Pack and a few others are in Montreal! You in Qc City proper or did you mean the province in general? I live in a small town near quebec city so I'm like 3 hours away from you. I spoke with Wolf_Pack in the past few weeks about the campaign you've started and I might make some special appearance someday. But campaign or not I definately would like to play games with you someday !

RedwaKe Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 With the new wow expansion and access to the hearth of the storm alpha I didn't paint as much as expected but I still managed to complete some things: http://i.imgur.com/xL9Pxcf.png http://i.imgur.com/xeNA4Hm.png http://i.imgur.com/HO2kGP9.png http://i.imgur.com/mSJngMb.png I'm quite happy with how it looks so far and can't wait to paint the MkIII Iron hand squad (which is the next step) Hope you like them !

RedwaKe Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks guys, glad you like them ! Also, teach me your battle damage magic :c Its actually mostly done with a sponge. First with leadbelcher and than with runefang steel, doing an oil wash with a color similar to rhinox hide between these two steps. For the white I used the hairspray technique.

Skalpynock Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 That glow effect is astounding. Green optics fit the Iron Hands far better than the official blue IMHO, and with your glow (especially on the Sicaran) they feel possessed by the Machine God himself. And now I'm considering a change of legion.... why does it have to be the Hands who get the experimental funnies from Mars while we're stuck with lots of basic stuff?

I had a hard time choosing between blue and green osl but in the end I'm glad I chose green.
