apologist Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) Iron Bear WIP ...and he's a big chap. The Iron Bears are described as twenty to thirty centimetres taller than other marines, which caused a few wrinkles for me! I've ended up still using the same principle as I usually do for my marines (based on Terminators), but more built up.

MikhalLeNoir Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 (edited) I think it fits. Just look at his primarch. Love it. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/9/4/824791_sm-.jpg By the way, where is the head from?

Demus Ragnok Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 @mikhail I believe that head is from the stern guard kit. Apologist I'm very happy to see you working on BotL I love your work especially the fluff for your Iron Warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Really? It looks bigger and especially broader. Which trick did you use? http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/9/6/825340-Anasem.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 That's the head from the plastic PA librarian kit. With added hair, of course. Also, it looks freaking amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 (edited) Sooo, the big one is closed to finished. A few details to add. Some.melterbombs (normal grenades are too small^^) and some poor godslayers.and Gravestalkers beeing crushed by the bear himself. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/9/12/826682-Brotherhood%20Of%20The%20Lost%2C%20Daer%27dd%2C%20Lost%2C%20Primarch.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/9/12/826684_sm-Brotherhood%20Of%20The%20Lost%2C%20Daer%27dd%2C%20Lost%2C%20Primarch.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/9/12/826683_sm-Brotherhood%20Of%20The%20Lost%2C%20Daer%27dd%2C%20Lost%2C%20Primarch.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2016/9/12/826685_sm-Brotherhood%20Of%20The%20Lost%2C%20Daer%27dd%2C%20Lost%2C%20Primarch.jpg Edited September 12, 2016 by MikhalLeNoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 You know what he suddenly made me think of? A blood bowl player :lol: :P He's awesome Mikhal! Are you planning on doing anything more experimental with the shoulder plates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 (edited) Haha. He plays a private match of bloodpowl with kawil and koschei where the marines are the ball^^. I try to get as close as possible to draks painting although i will have a few things different like the gauntlets of ares and less armor in the crotch. So i will add more to the pads. Maybe you have an idea? Always happy to try a few things out Edited September 13, 2016 by MikhalLeNoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Phew, all finished. Pics tomorrow (once Redd has seen them first - only fair); but in the meantime, which Legion is next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomus Sardauk Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Phew, all finished. Pics tomorrow (once Redd has seen them first - only fair); but in the meantime, which Legion is next? How about one of the Drowned Men or a Scion Hospitaller? Edited October 10, 2016 by SanguiniusReborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Drakzilla~ Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I may be biased, but I'd like to see a Warrior of Peace portrayed in model form. Even so, a Drowned legionnaire should be next. Would love to see how you tackle that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Book 1 Legions: Harbingers, Grave Stalkers, Iron Bears, Scions Hospitalier, and the Drowned. Yeah, the Scions or the Drowned should be up next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Captain Redd Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I'm incredibly excited to see! Also another vote for Cthulu marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Uhmmm don't forget the godslayers!!! My vote goes for fiery orange!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 I still say we prioritise those without models. And there's plenty of room in the Insurrection for a hitherto unknown Scion Hospitalier to cause some ripples... So my preference would be Scion ≥ Drowned Man ≥ Warrior of Peace ≥ Warbringer ≥ Predator ≥ Void Eagle ≥ Jackal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Only that the scions have a painted preator. Slips used those awesome colors who change their color depending on lighting (had no better w ay to describe the effect^^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 It was there. But I can't find it too. Alips removed it on purpose so that apologist tackles a scion next!!!! ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) Thing is with the Scions is that the regulars, Depthstriders and Phantoms are all pretty singular. Damn, if I had the money, time and man-cave to answer the call of resin and plastic, I'd totally do a Scions army. Or dive straight into madness and build the Black Legion/Doom Bringers/Nemesis Legion/Dark Conquerors... I just can't find a combination of words that's properly satisfying. I feel it needs to be the Something Legion Edited October 11, 2016 by bluntblade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Oh this guy? He was mostly a proof of concept :P http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a598/stampeeder/2016-02-04%2000.25.18_zpsaueqifhm.jpg http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a598/stampeeder/2016-02-04%2000.25.56_zpsrpdbfe5u.jpg The Red is literally just Blood for the Blood God and the White is a Pearlescent White I found from Liquitex who also have some clear paints with colored metallic flakes in them.

bluntblade Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Was he before or after you'd really built up the image of them with everything streamlined, plain black visors and all the rest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted October 11, 2016 Share Posted October 11, 2016 Before. Besides, I don't really convert any models I get so this is just the stock Praetor in Cataphractii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apologist Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 Warpathman Dohmnall Sakima of the Iron Bears In terms of modelling, I went for a bare head with a neat beard (the plastic power armoured Librarian) then sculpted on some short hair. This gave the figure a slightly Nordic feel without stepping on Space Wolf imagery. I played around with this by using a relatively dark skintone and dark hair; which gave a good background for some warpaint. With such a rich range of areas to draw from, it's easy for a figure to become over-complicated or too busy, and not work as a finished piece. He also had to read as a 'Space Marine', so I didn't want to cover him in bits and bobs. By keeping the silhouette clean, he doesn't read as an odd-coloured Space Wolf. Armament is a good way to introduce character; and 'power tomahawks' are mentioned in the background. I couldn't resist adding one, using the Justaerin weapon pack. This shot also details the Legion and Clan symbol – a bear's paw (top) surmounting a stylised deer's head. Hope you all like the result, and thanks to Redd for letting me have a go at making and painting an Iron Bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
