Nice!! Do you have any mettalics on it? It's hard to tell.

All plastic. they have been drybrushed Gunmetal grey and Boltgun.

They look AWESOME!!You should put some hazard stripes on one leg to tie it in to iron warriors. If you want help on colour schemes check out lexicanum.

A nice start, definitely.

But, many of them look simply like Black Legion Termies with a little silver on them.

I'd try to get more of a metallic color on your termie's armor.

Im waiting on some P3 Menoth white and Cygnar yellow to do the hazzard markings.

Very clean paint lines, definitely a good start

One lil tip that will really help the details and metallics pop out, is using a wash and then adding a quick drybrush or high light layer.

The wash, Devlan Mud would probly work best, runs into the recesses and adds shading, another very light dry brush over that makes the raised areas look shinier. You could even try to use a silver or silver/boltgun mix to make the highlights stand out more.

I should dig out my IW and take pics, I havent looked at them in a few years

Looks great but I agree with Cryonic; on first sight they look like black legions.
I would add a considerable amount of mithril silver and yellow hazard stripes.

Looking good, once you get the stripes going I think it will come together really well, and as said above maybe try a highlight here and there and maybe some washes. Deffinitly a great start, keep it up.

What colour did you use for the lenses?They look pinkish.

Change all the black spaces on the armor to caution stripes, and they'll really be complete.

Yes there was Tentical pink and red ink for the leses.

@Mistress of minis:

Thanks Assoon as the P3 paints and the shoulder pad arrives I'll be doing the reaper and the hazard markings.

Cool. But after doing a wash you should dab adot on the corners for highlights. Those are really cool!!!!

To hell with it ... Im going to prime #5 without the shoulder pad....

Looks pretty good to me! Cant wait to see when you get them completely finished

How good is that?!?
I'm suffering a slight inferiority-complex as of now...

Im the queen of drybrushing.

Hazard markings done, 2nd Terminator unit made up, but as it's with rain Im making up the Unit (cool show) of chosen. and not priming or taking photos.

Those look familiar...

They look good. I like the clean trim work.

5 Chosen down 4 to go then convert a Techmarine

Chosen ready for the Metal IW pads, Terminators megatroned*





*Primed

chaos rocks
!!!

look great so far, cant wait to see the stripes on them.

This is black legion

Like really...

I suggest not going with a drybrushing but coat the black with boltgun highlighted by mithril on the main armor...

WOW that is a long link....

I like them the way they are.

They look good, but why did you place the one in the last picture out on the front of his base?

He had a barrel behind him and then I removed it before megatroning

Ah, okay. I didn't see the barrel.

they are very nice!

I recommend painting some danger stripes on, to make them more Iron Warriors.

Overall great work!

I was getting my new computer from my mom before my brother pinched it today so I could not take photos of the markings.

Very good painting, neat too!

I think i'm going to have to steal that wash and then drybrush technique, sounds good!

Techmarine conversions are really cool, especially when a chicken's involved but are like hell to saw through the torso!

I disagree, I think they are instantly recognisable as Iron Warriors, Black Legion after all are 'BLACK' and there's a fair bit of silver on these guys.

All in all I'd say top effort and I for one like the look of these guys and that's without seeing the cheverons.

Regards,

Grim

Im thinking of having 120 troops

Please note this is only a thought, and thanks guys for the nice comments.

I agree with Grimbrandt: These are instantly recognizable as Iron Warriors. The warning stripes would simply mash the point home like a Seismic Hammer squishing a Grot. Incidentally, I recently noticed a fantastic tutorial on battle damage that might be useful for Miss Dee, courtesy of Grey_Death, which would emphasize the hard grinding attrition-based warfare the Iron Warriors excel at.

About 120 troops, you may prefer to just go with sixty, and use the points saved on Iron Warrior-sy stuff like Chosen, Havocs, Vindicators, Dreadnoughts, and so on.

all my elites are 5 2x terminators and 1 chosen of 10 inc Techmarine

Wow good find that.

Nice work....

Thanks

Im still erked that they dont allow IW to use the basilisk anymore. They REALLY watered down chaos marines in 5th. *sigh*

I know, one of the MO staff said IW's are a cult.

"But they are a Chapter." I said

A cult?! Kick that guy in the nuts. They are a full blown chapter. And in all honesty, are the least chaos, chaos LEGION in the game. Seriously, kick him twice in the nuts, once for your ears hearing it, and once for my eyes reading it lol

atleast we can use Vindacators

I dont play chaos anymore. When 5th came out, I was pissed. I literally just got rid of everything and started Orks. I ALMOST picked Orks when I got into 40k forever ago, but peer pressure lol.
Anywho, yea you can use vindicators. And if used like a wall, MAN can you lay some serious death on a table. I would swap between basilisk or vindicators for my heavies. And then a gun line of marines. I stayed really true to the fluff. Some battles Id kick some butt. And others I got it handed to me. But I REALLY loved playing the IW. They were great

I kicked butt in the EoT campaign with IW won 8 out ot 8 games yet the GW guys called it an Imp victory. So I Lobed all my GW stuff out.

I may have some Ork bike sprues with bitz left if I can find them.

I seriously friggin LOVE Orks. Im planning on starting a Necrons force, mostly because I have a really cool idea planned for them, but thats in the future. Orks tho, I really think somewhere, in a parallel world, Im an Ork lol. And bitz are good, Ill take um if yo dont want them lol

Someting to do with Direct orders

Tom emailed me saying They will get the bits on tuesday of next week.

i like, very crisp paint job, remember "Iron within! Iron without!" great war cry imo

I have another bunch of Terminators to base and transfer up, got chosen to put metal pads on poss wednesday they will arrive.

thanks

http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/images-17916-3565_Iron%20Warriors.html here is my IW WIP and doddgy free hand

i prefer the way that the termies are painted, looks different to the basic IW scheme, but alot better

the one above is not finished yet

i like it, looks very actiony, i like his armour, with all the chain mail etc, could have sworn i've seen a similar base somewhere before....

cheeky . I have 9 more

well the virtuous nature of my 5 marines would win any day

Got my Techmarine, IW pads and a Warsmith I didn't order, so he is going to be a champion to replace my running champion from Tac Squad 1. Running champion has been demoted to Tac squad 2.

I didnt say it was a conversion

I really liked the way your models were before the hazard stripes, well painted and detailed. However, I really think those hazard stripes need to be redone if you want to keep them. I would try using small bits of tape or something to help keep your lines straight, I have really shaky hands and I can't draw a straight line for anything and use that trick sometimes.

Those are very nice!

I hate to say i told you so derina, but...

i like it dee, i have to admit when i first started collecting
warhammer 40k my first where the chaos iron warriors i love them (i agree taking away the basilisk whas stupid
but im keeping it as a nice centerpiece)

i also have a warsmit and i made one from the iron hand iron father (afther all there war cry is also "iron within iron without").

p.s. dee what are your heavy supports vindicators or defilers?



poll: should chaos get the dreadcalw as there drop pod option in the codex????.

I have some Oblit's coming over in the post from the USA.

Hmm. Those stripes look a bit off. Is it the angle?

No its me Im still trying to perfect them.

Something a girl can do when she has no Primer and can't Megatron.

Yea, Stripes are difficult. I usually put down the lightest color first, then draw with a ruler and mechanical pencil onto that where I want the lines. You may wish to give that a try.

The latest mod is pretty sweet, though. I can't wait to see that one done.

Stripes can be a pain in the ass to paint, especially when on a dodgy surface.
Try buying a very thin fibre tipped pen to draw the lines on 1st.
makes life alot easier, allthough, due to bad camera skills this pic looks horrible, but just something ive used the pen for.

Hi Dee,

Very excited to see how the TechMarine will turn out :-)

You'll also be pleased to hear that I'm using Iron Warriors Heads for my Consecrators army! They have old school Dark Angels 'Knightly' helms...so it is a must!

I hope you're well :-)

Im good thanks, got all the chosen up to hilight, bronzed 6.5 of them and also working on some Scythes as well.

Nice nice, I'm currently working on some Cypherian Consecrators this will be my army.
Everything is relatively unknown about them...so a perfect bunch of fella's to write my own fluff about :-)

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/253044.page blowing my own trumpet.

hey have you red the book 'storm of iron'? ifso you could do iron warrior beserkers and honsou as your warsmith, or even the daemon prince warsmith. if you have not read it i sujjest doin so in the next 24 hours or my head will explode =O nice tech marine convertion also like it

you should try and fit a Khorne Icon or the skull off the chest of a Iron Warriors Warsmith on his chest that would look nice

I lent SoI out to a former friend when he was still a friend, did I get the book back?

Hell No!!

Had to get the rereleased version, I was thinking of getting some Beserkers and IW pads and the conversion kit as well.

...then just get on some Servitors with pneumatic drills and your iron warriors will be well on the way to really being the famous seige masters I've heard about :-P

every thing is on hold for a moment due to an immanent move 20 yards down the road

Terminator Lord.


Chosen Champion - the Servo Harnes (Tony Stark)


Still cant use a camera to save her life.

Some great work, Dee

About your stripes (not that I have any experience doing them), but maybe you could lightly draw them onto the areas with a pencil and this would give you "guide lines" for when you paint them on

Love the conversion work lookin forward to seein the whole army

Just working on the harnes now. Thanks for the coments.

stripes? eh, now the balls in farsworths court;

seeing as most of the time for industrial style stripes we'll be wanting the yellow to look like its painted onto the black(ei, black is the base colour) if theres too much yellow it'll just look wrong regardless of how good your lines are.
just make sure theres more black stripes showing than yello eg.

Great job.

I like your ideas of using those tech-marines - for Iron Warriors. Great work, mate

Thank you

Seeing as I'm getting back into modeling/painting. This is swaying my army interest to Chaos. Your Terminators look great!

Thanks Slappy

Nice Iron Warriors - liking the pink for the eyes, adds some colour

Thank you.
