Kaldoth Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Hi all! Got a local tournament coming up in a couple of months and I've finally worked most of the bugs out of my list. I'll be running a nurgle list, but with an Iron Warrior paintjob. Soooo, without further ado, here is the test mini! This is the first marine I have done in about four years, so I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. I've got some more basing material coming in the mail, but until then it's plain ol' drybrushed gravel. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c206/Kaldoth/IMG_20150412_060809775_HDR1.jpg Was meant to be a little above table top quality. C&C! ^_^Cheers,-Kal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson73 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Looking good, nice work on the hazard stripes and oxidation/scorched metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kythnos Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Looks like a really solid start. Especially the hazard stripes turned out great. I'm hoping to see more from your IW soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Seylek Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Hey, so can anyone give me tips on how to paint hazard stripes like that? Do you do it free-hand or use tape, and what paints do you use and how? Brilliant model by the way, planning to start IW myself, hence my questions.

Brother Talon Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 @ Inquisitor Seylek Stripes can be a pain. Most use a base layer, and then really thin down the paint to be used for the stripes. Use an edge of sorts (plastic ruler) to draw the lines, and then fill in your stripes afterwards. Or you can use frog tape(or whatever brand of painters tape you can find) and make really thin strips. Fill in the uncovered sections, and BOOM. Hap- err... Grimdark little stripes. ------- That is an AMAZING model mate! Being a combination Iron Warrior/Nurgle model, I only have a single complaint. Not dirty enough. Needs more grime, some rust and oxidation (perhaps on the backpack?) That aside... really impressive work. Not bad for a four year hiatus. Almost like you never stopped!

SystmOveRide Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 As a former IW player, though I still intend to do a CAD with IW, I love it. Also I have to disagree Brother Talon, if you've read the book Storm of Iron (and if you haven't I would really suggest doing so, it's amazing) you'll notice that pre-battle IW armour is clean and grime free on the outside with an oily-ish surface due to the polishing, so I think this model looks exceptional, almost as if they're preparing the siege and starting the battle.
