Iron Warriors The Rusted, Iron Warriors

[Brother Nathan]

working away getting a good chunk of cultists done(will update pics soon but also done a test bezerker, feedback please! 

[Kythnos]

A nice classic model! I think you did him justice. What I like to do with the Khorne units in my force is to paint their fists and helmets red. But your berzerker clearly classifies as a worshiper of the Blood God without these markers.

[Brother Nathan]

not a bad idea. i may do red fists or gloves but more from i want them to look gore drenched ironwarrior madmen rather than like world eaters. thanks!

[Dr_Ruminahui]

I like the berzerker, though the white looks a bit out of place - might just be the photos.  Maybe do the skulls on the armour brass instead?

[Brother Nathan]

Thanks all. Just a heads up as progress has stopped dead. Wife had wee one 10 weeks early and all plans unmade and living day to day blag blah. May be a while til I'm back again.

[WarriorFish]

We're not going anywhere ;) See to your needs and we'll see you when normal returns, or at least what passes for it :lol::tu:

[Brother Nathan]

got the last of my cultists done. will have to get a group shot now

[WarriorFish]

Getting Cultists done always feels like a special achievement, as the work that goes into them doesn't directly translate into effectiveness on the tabletop alas. It's a commitment :lol: Good to know we've earned a group shot next ;)

[Brother Nathan]

[WarriorFish]

Excellent progress, hasn't taken you too long either :tu:

[Brother Nathan]

Thanks. Apparently taking a batch to work on night shift dots em done eventually. Trying to use night shift efficiently when it's quiet seems to help with painting backlog. Think I'm due to get something mechanical done as my reward. Leaving basing for a bit then will batch do it.

They're looking good - they look like they are out of a cheap 80s post-apocalyptic sci fi movie, and I mean that in a good way.

That's surely one of the greatest complements, given 40k's origins? :lol:;)

[Brother Nathan]

definitely is and is what i was aiming for. Rag tag like could be out of something like the warriors but not one specific thing either so target achieved. need to get back to those bigger models now. thanks all!

[Brother Nathan]

I like the quartering of yellow and black on the shoulder pad!

[Brother Nathan]

cheers, thought id take a few ideas from blood angels and figure that war masters/captains/lieutenants /high ranking iron warriors would have their own yellow and black heraldry and leave their marks on the realms... will work on such with future characters and a few revisions...

Re: Thread/Army name.

 

In tribute to GW, my Warsmith is named Edixo "The IInd" Suorref of the II Grand Company. You're fine. 

[Brother Nathan]

as i wasnt sure where to stick this i figued this is the best spot. managed to get a copy of imperium for once(normally sold out) so nabbed this generator. didnt fancy standard and have lots of christmas lights lying around so upgraded by drilling out and glue filling and painting said glue etc...  fairly happy with progress but ran out of iron dust.. also plan to add smoke (dirty cotton) as have lit up the stacks too  fairly pleased with outcome. should look ace beside my iron warriors
