Iron Within Iron Without - with Vastopol +HH++

[Olis]

From this angle his right knee looks a bit funny. Kinda flatter than looks comfortable. 

[Vastopol]

Hi, yeh hes meant to be standing on a backpack for a secenic base, ill be painting it seperatley for both, most likely a Imperial Fist and a 'Black one

[Olis]

Ah. It's the sight of it out of context that's confused me. ^_^

[Vastopol]

Hello all silent for a few days with exam work and coursework marking however managed to start the building process here are some example pieces using IW/IH and generic parts, the Warsmith has an Iron Warrior Icon shaved away from a spare shoulder pad (Weapons not glued on for purpose of painting);

Iron within, Iron Without !

[Doghouse]

Very nice start so far, I'm a bit Iron Warriors fan so will be keeping an eye on this one. :tu:

[Vastopol]

So just got back from Comic Con at the Excel Centre, first time iv been to one of those types of things, the real selling point for me was that Forge World would be there, once I got there I headed over and there was no queue at all ! compared to Salute a few weeks prior which I queued for what felt like a hour.

Anyway quick pic before I begin the cleaning process, these are all the bits I need now to really make a good start on the force, not pictured are the FW airbrush paints (something iv been holding out on) so picked up a few of the silvers and yellow to test, review to follow;

So pictured above are ;

Apothcary Set
Contemptor Cyclone Missile Launcher
Raiper Laser Destroyer

Castalex with Dark Fire Spear
1 set of MK3 Marines
1 set of Iron Hand Tactical Squad
1 set of Breacher Marines
Vindicator Laser Destroyer
Vindicator (stock)

As-well as MK3 Power Weapon Pack, Valkite Chargers more Pads, Metla Guns and the Event Exclusive models,

 

The idea will be to mix the Iron hand components into the breachers and tactical marines to break them up a little, aswell as make a Master of Signals 

Now the cleaning process begins ............

Iron Within, Iron Without !  

[Olis]

Wow. That's quite a haul, brother. I hope you've got a spare bowl to soak all that resin in. 

[Vastopol]

So bit of an update of the past few days, been busy cleaning bits down, cleaning mould lines ect but some progress to show;

 

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GLMj-mxe8-4/VWI0ppSFrhI/AAAAAAAAAJU/hwSE3-ieiFo/s1600/DSC01773.JPGMaster of Signals with Volkite Charger, I have the stock model, but wanted something in MK3, always knew I wanted to use the binoculars from the tank crew for this model, happy with how he has turned out, need to add some 'gubbins around his wasit as there is a nasty chunk missing from his waist line under his right shoulder.

 

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zm_ZarO3G4Y/VWI0xx6dCoI/AAAAAAAAAJg/OjuONAImXPs/s1600/DSC01775.JPGApopthcary to join my Siege Breakers, stock model nothing too exciting other than the weapon swap of the bolt pistol for a Volkite Charger

 

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0BtZpktxmM0/VWI0xlp_zvI/AAAAAAAAAJc/2um-g-chBPg/s1600/DSC01776.JPGMock up of how the Melta Guns interlock with the shields, my squad will have 3 of these in total, but the end goal will to have a 20 man unit so 4 Meltas in total

 

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ObXp4XmDL3I/VWI1W7vYNhI/AAAAAAAAAJs/FPHRMdG2_v8/s1600/DSC01777.JPGSergeant for my Siege Breakers, the head crest was careful removed from a standard MK3 helmet, shaved and green stuffed into place on the siege breaker head, had to reposition the power fist as wasn't happy with the orgional pose, but not sold on this pose either, need to green stuff the extra armour onto his feet.

 

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NUVxoRiD6lI/VWI1XiqXUqI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/GxwxHR8--sQ/s1600/DSC01779.JPGStill playing around with paint ideas on this guy.
