+ The Iron Without - Iron Warriors Painting Contest +

[Doctor Perils]

Wow, awesome completion and revow undeadsoldier :D I really like your plasma-reactor effect for the Xiphon!

 

Have you counted the Trophy bonus for your first vow? I can imagine that it'll be worth a fair few points :) Remember that it has to be 50% of the unit or more.

@The Psycho: I haven't got the point value for your out of competition vow?


EDIT:
There are now 28 participants in competition, and there are 4 out of competition vows for the moment (please note that you may make an out of competition vow at any moment, so even those that missed the first vow deadline can join in on the fun )

In competition, there have been 10188 points vowed for the moment, and 1404 of those are currently safe (ie, completed with no revows after). Therefore, there is an average total vow value of 363,86 points per person (total number of points pledged / number of in competition participants), and we have a 13.78% completion rate (safe points / total vowed)

On the out of competition side of things, there have been 995 points vowed, (excluding The Psycho's points value as I haven't found it), with none completed yet.

It seems therefore that we are well behind the fists both on total vowed and on total completed - but when have insurmountable odds ever daunted the Iron Warriors? Let's show them the true meaning of bravery and tenacity!

IRON WITHIN!

@The Psycho: I haven't got the point value for your out of competition vow?

 

Is that necessary, since it is out of competition after all? I also haven't picked up the model I need for it, and haven't quite settled on a loadout yet, but I can try to settle on a loadout tonight.

[Doctor Perils]

Well, it's not urgent or anything, but I think it would be nice to keep track of - I think it can be motivating for some, and it can show us where we stand when compared to the Imperial Fists' OOC, or to imagine how much the points would be worth when compared to the ETL and such :)

Also, here's some WIP from me:

Copper's mostly done, I've also got some base coating for the chevrons/hazard stripes done. Next step's washes, then chevrons and detailed work.

Note to self: keep the weathering salt on until the rest of the base coating is done, I think the Leadbelcher spray gives a solid enough coat that the salt grains won't shove off as soon as you pass the brush over them. I'm still rather pleased with the overall effect.

I might have to thin down the purple line on the rapier too, but I'll see how it looks with the chevrons.

I also hope that my decals and brass etch will arrive soon, I'd love to include them to these model :) for future models, do you think that laying a decal over the salt-weathering technique could work? (ie, have a grain of salt or two under the decal, then remove the salt?) It could look rather ace, especially for larger decals, but I'm afraid that it would end up just ripping the decal

[Teetengee]

So I added it to my vow, but here are before pics:

Hey, he's awesome Teetengee Had you not considered making him a Chaos Lord?

eh, too plain, plus I vowed him as part of a chosen unit for Call, so i'll leave it as is I think.

[Soldier of Dorn]

So built my Warsmith: Dhur Gulak, of Shatter Company, 41st Grand Battalion.

Warsmith: 165 points. Cataphractii Terminator armor, thunder hammer, grenade harness.

More pictures here.

Cool, I really like your version of the grenade harness: it makes me think of the combi-grenade launcher/power fist that the new eclusive terminator captain has.

Of course! Right now, the Iron Warriors are slightly behind the Imperial Fists in terms of points - the OOC points will perhaps top them, so in spirit we're still beating them ;)

[undeadsoldier]

I don't remember what the bonus is but I have fifty percent on the tacticals so I'll have to do some maths. It definitely didn't help me in my 30k escalation league when I lost to the fists!

The bonus is 10% more points on the unit (rounded down) - if a unit is normally worth 123 points but has enough trophies, then for the contest it will be worth 135 points :)

[Wayniac]

I forget, a vow can be multiple units but doesn't have to be right?  So I could like vow a single unit for Vow #2, then when that's completed vow another unit for Vow #3, etc.?

That is indeed correct. Keep in mind though that there is a maximum of 7 vows, and each vow is a maximum of 4 units (with no points limit)

 

It also isn't possible anymore to vow a "colour scheme tester", as that option is only open for the first vow :)

Oh no I bought some stuff yesterday and am assembling it, just think I might split them into different vows (maybe combine some).

Well I'll leave it to your better judgement :) Splitting it into different vows can still be a good idea, especially if you aren't sure of finishing it all on time

[Soldier of Dorn]

Remembered to edit the picture of the model into my original vow.

 

In other news, he got primed tonight. Painting should begin tomorrow.

[Slave to Darkness]

Should have offered more praises to Nurgle ;)

 

Seriously hope you feel better!

[Doctor Perils]

Personal life (including health) is always more important then our Hobby: get well soon :)

 

Plus, you can still make Out Of Competition vows :)

[Wayniac]

VOW #2

I, Wayniac, vow on the honour of the Iron Warriors to fully paint at least one 5-man Chaos Space Marine squad with bolters and a Plasma Gun worth 90 points and 1x Helbrute with Twin-Linked Lascannon and Thunder Hammer worth 130 points,  a total points value of 220 points by Saturday 3rd December 2016. I promise to provide at least one "start" picture and a final "vow completed" picture in that time. I vow to bring honour to Perturabo and the Iron Warriors by completing my vow and not failing my brothers-in-arms.

 

IRON WITHOUT!

I guess 6k of Nurgle stuff for the ETL wasnt enough for the Lord of Decay. Should have gone for the holy number of 7k :lol:

 

Ill still do a cheeky out of competition vow, still got a few doodads to add to my Iron Warriors. Just noticed the Calls started as well!!! D: *sobs quietly under the bed* I seriously need to get to GW to replace the paints I used up for the ETL, thats gonna cost a small fortune *sobs louder, grabs teddy bear for comfort*

[Soldier of Dorn]

Cross-posted from my thread.

So progress: got some of the basecoats down. Not much, and not all of them obviously, but I'm happy with how he's taking shape. My classes start tomorrow morning, though, and so I'm certain that'll affect progress a little bit. Hopefully not too much, but a little bit.



Thanks for looking.

[Soldier of Dorn]

Another update.

Last update for the night: got most of his armor finished along with his head and trophy rack. Still a lot to go though.

[Doctor Perils]

Wow, really coming along well Psycho :) Have you got any plans for putting him in some kind of diorama with one of your Imperial Fists?
