Just read Tallarn: Executioner, an now i'm hooked on the idea of a traitor guard tank company so expect to see more armour in the future.

Also had some stuff arrive, masses of rivets, IW mkIII shoulder pads (finally) and other FW goodies.

Started work on my traitor guard armoured company starting with a Chimera.
I want them to looka fair bit different from the loyalist ones so went with a stepped back turret and auto cannon instead of a multi laser.

Also got the converted devil dog of trademe so stripped the paint with simple green, needs some patching as some of hk was done with cardboard and disintegrated when getting stripped.

I've got a mars pattern leman russ coming from forge world and another regualr one from the states.

Tanks are lookin good so far mate. love the melta chained behind the standard bearer too. Its little things like that, that will make this army stand out.

Love your work mate! great to see another iron warrior army!

Cheers for the comments.

Just a quick one of the Chimeras side armour, the idea being that its there to absorb the impact & energy from a shaped charge.

Chimera for an armored fists squad is done with converting, man do I like decking out tanks, Can't wait for my russes to get here.

Sweet chimera dude, the extra armour you have added looks great. Big fan of vehicles covered in aerials, stowage and tools.

Your stuff is still top notch!

some wip of the meat of the armoured fist squad.

Just re-watched "Beast of War" to keep my treaded hype going (if you havn't seen it, its one of the best tank movies out there, following a lost soviet tank crew in Afghanistan) also reading Gunheads, which is pretty good for imperial filth.

Started painting up the chimera. Started with flames of war Italian armour as a primer, then washed that with a diluted athonian camoshade, then zandri dust, karak stone and ushabti bone.
Kept the chevrons to tie them in to my iron warriors. Am having a bit of trouble painting the chains though, why did i add so many....

This is one of the first vehicles I've painted that hasn't been plain IW scheme so I'm quite pleased with how its coming along.







Also My leman russes came. one of the benefits of GWs slowed pricing structures in NZ is its cheaper to get a FW leman shipped from forge world then it is to get one in store here, plus I can make another russ from the spare bits if i just get some tracks.
Just wondering what to do with the side of the command vanquisher as I'm not equipping it with sponsons, thinking of crucifying some imperials and hooking them up to a dirge castor/vox system.

Finished some Havocs and a melta gunner and started working on the standard bearer.

Started going to the local gaming club and am toying with entering into a 1750 point tourny with Iron Warriors with death korps allies, should get me pretty motivated to paint.

Lookin good mate, the heavy bolter to auto-cannon conversions are wicked, never thought that would look so good.

Keep it up.

Thanks, though the 1st autocannon in that bunch is the sentinel autocannon. It works really well size wise and required little converting with just a normal bolter holding arm and the heavy bolter arm to secure it.

Finally got round to painting my defense line after grinding out the aquilas with a dremel and covering the grinding marks with plasticard strips.
I got lucky and it so happens that the chevron transfers from the CSM transfer sheets fit perfectly over them speeding things up greatly.
The bigger chevrons are from the Imp guard sheets with a printed IW skull PVA'd over top with another layer of PVA painted over that.

still got to find one more IG transfer and cut out some more skulls, then dry brush some golden griffon on the gold parts and add some sponged on paint chips to the chevrons to finish them.

More awesomeness. Love the ADL, really fits in with your army. Is that banner a freehand job?

I cheated wee bit on the banner so its not totally free hand. I'm pretty rubbish at free hand so cut out a printed IW skull and glued it on then painted over that to get the out line right, the numbers are secret weapon brass etch also glued on (so tiny and fiddly).
The details on the skull and Chaos start are free handish with the help of some taymia masking tape to get straight lines.

Heres the finished product of the bearer and standard section of the ADL.

This lascannon legionary killed it last game taking out a devil dog for 1st blood and a chimeria full with a particularly nasty iron hand staken HQ opening them up to be obliterated by artillery fire.
In light of his glory, he get the honor of having a repaint, new head and accessories, as well as some more efficient cabling for his lascannon (the open port on the back of the IW lascannon shoulder guard always bugged me.).

This stuff is Awesome! Can you join my campaign for a 30k Board on Dakka. If you can add [30K] to your Subject Title on the thread, and If I build up enough interest, LEGO may consider building a 30k Mini-Board!

My Iron Hands would love going up against your Iron Warriors !






TIME FOR AN "IRON" OFF!

That finished Banner is awesome rat, doesn't really matter how you got there when the finished product looks so good. Las-cannon dude looks nice and unique, and I'm looking forward to more.

Thanks for your interest and good luck with your campaign.
However I may use a lot of heresy era models and bits, but only because the Warsmith of the 13th grand company runs a tight ship, relatively free from warp mutated shenanigans.
This army is a 40k army so i'd feel it would be a bit misleading slapping 30k in the title.
Very nice Iron Hands by the way.

Your Iron Warriors look great. Excellent converting and painting. What you did with your Raptors looks like a scene out of a Quentin Tarantino movie in the best way possible. I also really like what you did with that Chimera. Mind if I steal your idea a bit?

Go for it man.

Been flat out getting my army ready for the tourny over easer weekend, really looking forward to it.
Running a different list to that above with 4 squads of marines with different setups, havocs with auto cannons 2 vindys, defense line with quad and the obligatory heldrake.
Got some WIPs of my Huron counts as (running as a lord with black mace), couple of new champs with power swords and the lascannon legionnaire as well as the starts of my display board.

"You're next!"

Looking pretty damn good as usual man. That display board looks interesting, cant wait to see it progress.

Sorry no progress pics as I was rushing to get it done so forgot to take some photos. Just got everything finished at 1:30 the morning before the tourny.

Ended up with 3 wins 4 losses and 1 draw, despite my armies preformance I had a blast, my army even got voted best painted so I won some terrain for that.

Your display board is awsome! This army blows me away every time i see it!

Starting on a new Vindicator kit I got for cheap.

I've always thought the idea of having a spare shell dangling off the back behind the rear armour as the stupidest thing ever so I made an internal ammo rack for the demolisher shells on this one out of some plasticard tubing.




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Finnally got round to adding rivets to the contemptor.

I've also been playing round with using the drum mags from the helblades auto cannons.
They are just blue tacked on at the moment but I am pretty happy with how they look, what do people think?



Started making little icons for the rear and side doors of the vindicator. I will probably make a push mold of this when its done to use on other vehicles.



"DRIVE ME CLOSER"

Im not surprised you won best painted with that. Display board ended up mint. The demolisher Shell rack is a freaking sweet idea, never seen anything like that before. The drum feed is looking good too man and really suits those reaper A/C's, he is posed quite dynamically too, which is good.

Probably going to steal the idea to store my paint brushes in barocca tubes, too .

Top notch as usual.

Just wait till you see why I posed him like that, dismembered Imperial Fists on the horizion and guts galore.

Finsished most of the painting on the vindicator with just some touch ups on the battle dammage and some weathering to go.
The icon on the side is the original with the one on the back being the duplicate from a push mold.

Frackin' awesome

If The gore is done as well as the raptors' victims, it should look sweet. Vindi turned out awesome too, this log deserves far more attention.
