INKS Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 What do you get when you cross Iron Warriors with World Eaters? The IRON BUTCHERS. No really, I am not making this up. google it. lol I've been torn and looking for a way to combine my love of Iron Warriors (I still suck at masking off shoulder pads for stripes, just too small) and the need to play the new World Eaters. While these are two different forces (The Iron Warriors are really real back burner), I also wanted to paint both just a little bit differently. I love how easy (minus the stripes) Iron Warriors are. And I did not want another red army. (I am looking at you bloodletters and blood angels) When I stumbled upon the IRON BUTCHERS it was perfect. It's also how I want to play the world eaters, I think fire support is important. I think hitting in 2 waves of CC is important. So the theory of combining the two works out well. Anyway, I had a box of legionaries and WE can't take Legionaries (even if they could, hello berserkers), so these are more for the IW side of the army. Still this gives an idea of what they'll look like once painted up. Cpt.Danjou, Dr_Ruminahui, Doctor Perils and 3 others 6 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 They look really good... what method are you using? It looks like Duncan's newer method to me... a nice gritty gunmetal kind of look. I love the concept! INKS 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKS Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 I don't Nuln Oil and then yellow and then Nuln oil again. I just paint the yellow and nuln oil once. I more or less follow this guide for the rest of it. I added the red after, so that is just khorne red. In the future I'll be painting the red and then nuln oil it all, then pads. If my hands were steadier I would line highlight the red to make it pop a little more, but this will have to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Danjou Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 They look great. I feel your pain with the hazard stripes, specially on shoulders. Or on any rounded surfaces for that matter. My next project for my IW is a Berzerker unit, maybe in a two weeks, so it is nice to see a how mine might look. Keep up the great work. Cpt.

crimsondave Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 It’s bad to admit this but I’m gonna do Steel Brethren instead of straight Iron Warriors just to avoid the hazard stripes. Just one inner pad black and a transfer. Done. Basically painting Necrons. I know. I’m lazy. INKS 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
