IronGland Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 So I've finally decided to stop lurking round this site like a bad smell and actually post some pictures. Hopefully it will provide some extra motivation and help cut down on the amount of time spent procrastinating. I've been involved in 40k since 3rd edition, dipping in and out as my interest waxed and waned, collecting various models; Ultramarines(who hasn't?), guard, tau, orks, black legion, tyranids, guard again and then dark angels, but never really getting anywhere. Just painting a squad or two(badly) and then giving up to play video games. But pc games stopped holding my interest or providing stimulation so I resolved to dive head first into 40k once more and actually finish an army and play a game! Roll on one year and I finally finished some models. Give it another decade or so and I should have enough to play a game... I decided to do a CSM army and settled on the Iron Warriors. Although the CSM codex seems to get a bad rep I felt there were some good modelling opportunities. You know, really let loose with the dark, twisted depths of my imagination. And I liked the IW's colour scheme and methods of war; lots of tanks and heavy weapons backing some hard as nails infantry. Also I rather liked their depiction in Dead Sky, Black Sun and Siege of Castellax, I found it kind of amusing. About the army: I was really impressed with the true/large scale models people were making and wanted to do the same. I found extending regular legs to be awkward and couldn't get the posing right, so I went with normal torsos on termi legs. This guys blog helped a lot http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/286355-eds-heresy-kill-teams-custodians-and-ruins/ Not a fan of the "spikey marines" look so I threw in as many different bits as I could. lots of forgeworld 30k torsos/legs mixed with 40k plastic stuff. Also been using umbra pattern bolters, they remind me of mass produced, stamp-pressed metal guns of the ww2 era, which I felt suited the IW Don't really like the standard CSM back packs so have been using the Korne Beserker ones. They are surprisingly fiddly to fit on. Really liked the weathered painting style some people were using (especially this dude's http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254518-sons-of-horus-once-more-into-the-breach/) and wanted to do the same. So expect lots of mud, rust, blood and shell strikes as possible Enough talk, onto the pictures! 1st CSM squad with MOK 2meltas and ccw's http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00086_zpsburlwziq.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00087_zpsgqowxwhg.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00169_zpsbyebjxbg.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00170_zpsvw6ooamx.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00174_zpseikkrqw1.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00172_zpsveyulutq.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00176_zpsqnhky8et.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00177_zps6g66ofmk.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00180_zpsqpqjgozc.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00181_zpsbffn8i6y.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00184_zpsb8mvfmzo.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00185_zps1wiop263.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330904-40k-iron-warriors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronGland Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Since the Siege of Castellax i feel it is customary for IW armies to have raptors. So here are mine! http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00142_zpsx5kcbwya.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00221_zpscfjj0j3p.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00222_zpsra8kn7hb.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00223_zpstgjfpu4x.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00224_zpssjuk6ivd.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00232_zpszxikyc9x.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00233_zps6yv8wsro.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/Iron%20Warriors/DSC00234_zpsrhu4yydc.jpg Heres the champion.

As for WIPs i'm making 5 more marines for the MON squad, autocannon havocs, a sorcerer, forge fiend and currently painting the three little piggy's of the mayhem pack. I'll try to get some pics up later on. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330904-40k-iron-warriors/#findComment-4653636 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marqol Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 This is an awesome group of Iron Warriors. Like the detail into every model, especially the one going for a guardsman touch down.

IronGland Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 I've managed to get some more models to the painting stage. First up the rest of the mark of nurgle squad minus guns http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/DSC00243_zps0rhkexrf.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/DSC00244_zpskczsznuf.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/DSC00245_zpss5fwoyp7.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/DSC00246_zpse6bbvfwf.jpg And a sorcerer. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/DSC00247_zpsnibq65fi.jpg This guy requires a bit of explaining. Having never been truly favoured by the warps touch, the sorcerer grew fed up of his mediocre psychic powers and asked a legion warpsmith to craft him a device that could amplify it. The device he received would suck the warp power from the brain of a recently deceased psyker and transfer it to him. But he needs a constant supply of freshly cut heads to sate his desire for power. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/DSC00248_zps9namxdqk.jpg fortunately being an Iron Warrior means he has access to all the cut heads he could want! http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/DSC00249_zpsf3tlwgrg.jpg http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/DSC00250_zpsnnapnevd.jpg I think I over did the undercoat, some of the detail seems blotted out. http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e9/Bennel88/DSC00252_zpsuo3sfysq.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/330904-40k-iron-warriors/#findComment-4673622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
