Greetings, fellow Dakkites.

It's been far too long.

After an extremely busy period of school, work, and moving, I've finally had time to get working on my Iron Hands army again.

Below are some painted models which you might remember from my original WIP thread.

Iron-Commander Vaarkul
(counts as Vulkan He'Stan)



Iron Father Theodosius
(master of the forge with servo harness, thunder hammer, combimelta)



Epistolary Phoebus



Sternguard Veterans
(sergeant with power fist, combimelta, 4 combimeltas)



I also have three dreadnoughts and two tactical squads fully painted. I'll get them posted up as soon as my camera recharges.

Also, for more views of the miniatures above, check out my hobby site:

http://nicholaskay.com/ironfather/gallery.ironhands.html

i love them!! one thing is a bit iffy though... the legs on the veterans look to chunky and boxy... other than that im green with envy

beautiful stuff!

also what model did you use for Iron-Commander Vaarkul ?

?

Sageheart wrote:beautiful stuff!

Thanks!

Raen wrote:also what model did you use for Iron-Commander Vaarkul ?

?

Well that's a tough question to answer.

Vaarkul is made out of the legs of a terminator, the torso of a marine, the arms of chaos space marines, the head of some terminator/marine sergeant.

His backpack is just a space marine packback with some bits, gears, guitar wire, skull bits, wrist watch pieces, and defiler cc wpn tentacles.

His weapon is a banner pole, an IG flamer, a GK force halberd, and a gear.

His shield is the cupola cover of a rhino and some metal bits.

His "loin cloth" is a bunch of guitar wire, electric wire, and gear bits.

Everything else is lots and lots of plastic card, some green stuff, way too much guitar wire, and some thin metal wire.

Raen wrote:i love them!! one thing is a bit iffy though... the legs on the veterans look to chunky and boxy... other than that im green with envy

Some people aren't huge on the bionic legs, but that's cool with me. :-D I wanted these guys to be venerable in their own right with extensive bionics. I don't think any of them even have their original limbs.

Oh hell son, these are balling! Great job!

That commander model is top notch . I wish I had the patience to model custom figures like that.

Got some more pictures taken.

These are my three dreadnoughts, Agaphon, Damril, and Kalos.

Dreadnought Agaphon
Agaphon is the most level-headed of the dreadnoughts, often providing fire support.


Dreadnought Damril
Damril is incredibly laconic and single-purposed. Once he finds a target, Damril wades into enemy fire without a second thought.


Dreadnought Kalos
Kalos is renowned for his ferocity and lust for combat.
Kalos can be found in the most vicious combats, thrashing foes with his power flail.


Once again, you can view more pictures of these dreadnoughts on my hobby site: http://nicholaskay.com/ironfather/gallery.ironhands.html

Whoa nice Iron hands mate really amazing job!

Those are some of the most stunning models I have ever seen. Bravo!

Absolutly amasing.

Love this stuff! Very nicely done.

Thanks to all!

I'll try to get some pics of the tac squads up tonight.

Once again, check out my site for more detailed pics.

I am so envious! These are great! However the legs on the sternguard spoil it for me, and I feel the dreadnoughts are a little over-loaded.

So good, your attention to detail is very good, looking over your dreads i love all the little details I would love to be able to build and paint models like this

Those are all really cool models. The "power flail" missile launcher looks kinda weird though. I could see it being mistaken for a missile launcher often.

Where did you get those gear icons with the wrenches(Left Breastplate and Left Shoulder(right side of pic))? Are those FW brass etchings for Iron Hands?

Some superb stuff there, theres so much going on with the models! But they arnt to complicated, fannytastic.

Great stuff.

Super Shiny...

Woohoo your back! I remember these from the 1st go around, and am excited to see more of them. The AoBR Dread is near unrecognizable, in the best way possible!

Ya not everyone likes them, but I love em.

Thanks! I do commissions too, so PM me if you're interested.

I haven't had any problems yet, then again all my dreadnoughts have the exact same armament.

Those are the FW vehicle bits for Iron Hands- I did also use bratch etchings elsewhere, though.

Thanks, glad you remember them!

Ya there are two normal dreads and one AOBR dread. I had one fresh dread, one fresh AOBR dread, and one old cruddy dread.

I made sure to swap the legs and arms as much as possible to keep a consistent look between all the dreads- I think the AOBR body has one cruddy dread arm and one new dread arm...

Wonderful stuff, but I agree with the aforementioned comments on the legs, they just look out of place, rather like if someone's jammed Legos onto the hips, but the rest is top-notch work

Absolutely stunning work!

WOW they look awesome.my fave is the dread with all the wires ripping out of it,it reminds me of hellraiser and crazy anime all at once.

Glad to have you back Klaus! I was just thinking about your work the other day. Your Vulkan model is extremely impressive!

Amazing work. They look really grimdark (meant as a compliment).

Everything is great, but Iron-Commander Vaarkul and the Dreads are my favorites.

Stunning.....

Best Librarian I've ever seen, I'll be converting my Master of the Forge accordingly. Thanks a lot for the insight. Just one question-- what did you use for the open hand?

I envy you so much... love em

epic !! love dem dreads

I really like the hint of rust on the dreadnoughts.

Everything is incredible! you've successfully captured that 'grimdark' feel

Fetterkey wrote:Best Librarian I've ever seen, I'll be converting my Master of the Forge accordingly. Thanks a lot for the insight. Just one question-- what did you use for the open hand?

Thanks! The open hand was actually from the old skaven/undead/goblin command sprue.

Great work. The Iron Hands are oft overlooked as a chapter. I thought you did some really great and gritty models all around up there. Cheers.

Pretty creative(clever) use of the dry-wall anchor for the drill on your dreadnaught...great work.

Top notch dreads and some original ideas too,
Me like

very cool i love how dark they are.

You have spiced this thread with a significant amount of awesome-sauce

Wow are those models amazing, you should be proud.

Thanks for all the kind replies!

I really want to get pics of my other units/squads up but I'm having trouble keeping my camera in focus (squad photography is always difficult).

As soon as the pics are up to spec I'll get them up.

Very nice Iron Hands. Thanks for sharing.

Moreeeeeee please.

I may cry.....they are amazing mate. Fantastic job.

Great work, they are really gritty and earthy I love them!

Amazing love the dreadnoughts.

The time has come! Here are some updates (sorry for the massive delay).

I still have a few things to finish up, but the rest will hopefully come soon (soon being a relative term).

Anyway, enjoy!

Terminator Squad 1





Terminator Squad 2




Sternguard with Drop Pod


Tactical Squad 1








Tactical Squad 2







Dreadnoughts (updated!)





Drop Pods


Demolishers






Land Raider Redeemer





And that's all for now!

Questions and comments are welcome, feel free to ask!

-K

Wow the candles on the Redeemer are pretty damn awesome.
I love the 2 terminator sargeants. Same with the first tactical squad sarg, he looks like hes swinging his gun in someones face and then his gonna uppercut them.

I'm loving all I'm seeing.

Do you have more coming, or is this your whole army? Some cybernetic scouts would be sick

All of this: Boss.

All this does only one thing, make me not even want to paint my iron hands an risk comparison to this awesomeness.

Were the vehicles done with dry brush? not airbrush right?

Damn those are beautiful. Only complain is about the sternguards legs, but other than that they're perfect!

They are amazing conversions with a really suiting paint scheme.
You're amazing.

Sad that I'm just saying the same as everyone else, but at least its unanimous.

freakin epic.

These models ooze grimdark from every cog. I really like the flame cannons on the redeemer.
Well done!

Don't think I've actually seen anybody do Iron Hands before, these are really good, like the dreads, and your land raider is brilliant.

This is the best overall conversion work I've seen on a Marine army. Bravo!

Amazing work. Ive always liked the iron hands and this has just made me like them 10X more. There right up there with the death watch for me.

Yeah, I can't say anything here that anyone hasn't already said, but, you really have captured grimdark in a way that I frankly didn't think was possible at this scale.

This is literally one of the best armies I've ever seen. It's an army I dream of playing against.

*buys plane ticket* Now Klaus, if you hear any strange noises in the middle of the night don't worry, it's just me relocating these

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you need any transfers?

Those are some great models. The Iron Hands are awesome, and I'm glad to see you executing them so well. Good luck with the rest of the army.

Love it. Very awesome! +1

How did you paint the blade on Vaarkul's halberd?

Phenominal, you sir are amazing. They are incredible. I love the beaten look. The rust is lovely. they just look brilliant! Well done sir. Well done indeed. PLease show us even more!!!

Awesome... That's the only thing i can say.. Pure awesomeness.

Possibly? Usually I freehand the clan symbol and use a green stuff stamp for the chapter icon.

CrimsonPrime wrote:*buys plane ticket* Now Klaus, if you hear any strange noises in the middle of the night don't worry, it's just me relocating these

Once my window fan unit relocated my army...relocated them into a million pieces all over the room

snake wrote:How did you paint the blade on Vaarkul's halberd?

Light grey base, skull white blocking, bleached bone over all but the most "hot" areas, yellow over that, light orange, orange, orange-red, red, dark red, black. As the colors progressed, I used less and less and only painted along the edges or "coolest" parts of the blade.

see image for ref:

I really like them! How many watches have died so far? I assume the cogs are from watches. must be great to play with them.

Cant believe i hadnt found this till now. So good to have you back Klaus mate. The IH have improved so much, painting is sick too!

SO, MUCH, CHARACTER!

All this stuff is incredible.

Your Vulkan rocks my socks to the extreme!!

Thanks guys! I do have a little bit more to paint, as mentioned before:

-4 skimmers (just their crew/weapons)
-2 razorbacks/rhinos + weapons

I also have a couple things left to build/convert should I choose to (which I probably will)

- 1 Venerable dreadnought
- 1 LR Crusader/Redeemer
- 2 lascannon marines
- 2 missile launcher marines

Welllll I let someone else do the dirty work, I just buy the collected bits. They are definitely fun to play with... I've had to develop new methods just to get them to work/be usable.

Just wondering, any tips for the chapter icon shoulder pads? I suck at scratch making the symbol many many attempts that look terrible. How would you suggest I get nice ones without having to pay the obscene price GW Australia wants for the Iron Hands kit ($69)?

Okay I give up...I have started a Pre-heresy Iron hands but now I'm ready to jack it in because I will never get to 10% of the level of your force. Crazy Good.

This makes me sad! There is way too little representation of the 10th legion out there... people tend to forget they are one the 20 first founding chapters

CrimsonPrime wrote:Just wondering, any tips for the chapter icon shoulder pads? I suck at scratch making the symbol many many attempts that look terrible. How would you suggest I get nice ones without having to pay the obscene price GW Australia wants for the Iron Hands kit ($69)?

Yeesh. See if you can get your hands on a GW bit and make a green stuff mold... also I know some 3rd party studios (chapterhouse, I believe) makes their own knock-offs. I'm not a big fan of their pads, but it could be a solution to your problem.

All I did was make one pad with a standard SM shoulder pad and some green stuff. Once cured, I put some petroleum jelly over it and pressed a ball of green stuff over the icon (careful to avoid the rim of the pad). After that cured, I pulled the two apart and voila! Custom green stuff stamp.

Ummmm Hell ^ no.

HOWEVER, you can all see them on the GW Blog soon in December along with a write up by yours truly. :-D

Can I make love to your army? LoL Those are the some the best SM I've seen!

Edit --
Almost makes me feel like I need to finish my army now...

Whew, they look like they've been to hell and back.

This is what Iron Hands should look like!

The only part I'm not absolutely astounded by is the dread inspired lower chassis for those Sternguard. They look a spot too...Dread leggy for me. That said, I don't dislike them at all, I'm neutral. I just think you should spread them throughout your army so all the cybernetics look more ad-hock and individualistic!

I find that reaction a lot, people either or them. I actually rarely/never use my sternguard as a unit, instead spreading them throughout my army as sergeants with combimeltas.

I would like to spread that conversion type through the rest of the army, too, but found that the custom built legs end up being 'true scale,' and look weird on random tac marines (who's the big guy?).

Such a cool army! Absolutely fantastic!

I am in awe of your painting and conversion skills sir. Just well......wow man.

Can we have an army family photo? I'm a fan of steampunk and of Vulkan with MotF, so this army just blew my mind.

Not literally, since I can still type and all but there are metaphorical nuclear bombs on my mind right now. My mind is a nuclear holocaust.

I need a bigger lightbox... lol.

My gaming table is at my parents' house (I've since moved out of state) but maybe I can find a local club to 'donate' their table for a photoshoot...

Why not? You can all have an army photoshoot or something. Only instead of super models you get to shoot... miniature models!

Okay that wasn't very funny, heartserenade.

I'm green with envy at these! This definately motivates me to stop procrastinating working on my army lol.

Unlike most of the others, I really like the legs on your Sternguard. The aesthetic of your work exemplifies just how extreme the Iron Hands really are.

You make a valid point... maybe once I finish the army I'll take that group shot (still have two rzrbacks and 4 skimmer crews).

Klaus, still loving your work. My IH force is coming along, I have a few takers for the Great Council.

Sure you don't want your clan in here?

Cool! I did add my clan leader (Iron-Commander Vaarkul of Clan Sorrgol) but realized I can't add my photos until I actually upload them to the dakka dakka gallery (no external linking). Once I have a change to do that I'll add them, but I am a bit short on time at the moment. :-p

NO Problem, I have jazzed it up a bit with some Iron Hands illustrations. Add whatever you want whenever you see fit, I'll keep the whole article homogeneous by formatting it all together.

One thing on the page that is bothering me is the quote, "Iron Within, Iron Without." This is actually the Iron Warrior's battle cry and is utter HERESY!

Klausmasterflex wrote:One thing on the page that is bothering me is the quote, "Iron Within, Iron Without." This is actually the Iron Warrior's battle cry and is utter HERESY!

OMG I have just found an Alpha Legionnaire hiding within the IRON HANDS. Turns out there was a typo in the assignments pool, he's supposed to be infiltrating the Iron Warriors. Good Spot or otherwise we would have had this scum, living amongst us.

He has been.....administratively dealt with.

I dont like the legs but everything else is insanely cool!

Absolutely SICK army! You've done a fantastic job of converting each marine and vehicle into a unique personality. Great job on the weathering, I LOVE to see battle-scarred, gritty and dirty looking marines.

Your army looks like a techno-gothic nightmare. The skull headed flying baby thing is creepy. Love the dreadnoughts especially the riflemen.

I would have added dozer blades or siege shields to the vindicators for aesthetic reasons, and some of the bionic legs look too stick like, but other than that this is one hell of an army.

Pat yourself on the back, you deserve it!

Amazing conversion work by far the best looking Marines i've seen on Dakka. The legs on the sternguard I am actually a fan of they go well with the cybernetic/bionics theme of your army!


Keep up the good work!

Incredible. Not enough Iron Hands out there, and these are the best I have seen. Bravo!

Beautiful.

I would love to see you do up Ferrus Manus, just because...y'know.

+1 CHapter codex for the Iron Hands.

Emperor's balls these are awesome!

they are just mint

mwnciboo wrote:+1 CHapter codex for the Iron Hands.

It would be sooooo cool. I mean seriously, let's take a look:

1st Founding Chapters who have dedicated codices:
DA, BA, SW

2nd Founding Chapters who have dedicated codices:
BT

1st Founding Chapters who have special characters (to fit their play style) in the SM codex:
Ultramarines, Imperial Fists, White Scars, Raven Guard, Salamanders

2nd Founding Chapters who have special characters (to fit their play style) in the SM codex:
Crimson Fists

So, let's take a look at which chapters are playable (come with their own character):

First Founding:

I: Dark Angels: Codex DA
II: N/A
III: Emperor's Children: Codex CSM (Lucius or Legions, possibly)
IV: Iron Warriors: Codex CSM (not as much, anymore)
V: White Scars: Codex SM (Kor’sarro Khan)
VI: Space Wolves: Codex SW
VII: Imperial Fists: Codex SM (Captain Lysander of the Imperial Fists)
VIII: Night Lords: Codex CSM (not as much, anymore)
IX: Blood Angels: Codex BA
X: Iron Hands: Nothing.
XI: N/A
XII: World Eaters: Codex CSM ( Kharn or Legions, possibly)
XIII: Ultramarines: Codex SM (Marneus Calgar, Cato Sicarius, Tigurius, Cassius....this codex is essentially dedicated to them)
XIV: Death Guard: Codex CSM (Typhus or Legions, possibly)
XV: Thousasnd Sons: Codex CSM (Ahriman or Legions, possibly)
XVI: Sons of Hours: Codex CSM (Abaddon or Legions, possibly)
XVII: Word Bearers: Codex CSM (not as much, anymore)
XVIII: Salamanders: Codex SM (Forgefather Vulkan He’stan)
XIX: Raven Guard: Codex SM (Kayvaan Shrike, Captain of the Raven Guard)

So seriously, wtf.

This sums my Opinion up entirely, I think given GW's Habit of every other Codex Release being a Marine Codex, we may just get it.

I would like to see the Entire Force Structure turned on it's head, so you could take Dreads as Troops for example and Techmarines as Veteran Sgt's. Plus teminator Armour all over the place, so "Termie Techmarines with a Heavy Weapon Harness/Conversion Beam?" It would give Techmarines a 5+ Inv. Equally, Iron Fathers and Libby's only as HQ's, no 1st Company and lots of options for Vehicles and free upgrades, free extra Armour? or Locator Beacons fitted as standard to every vehicle, allowing Deepstrikes to be accurate, but no Termie Squads to even it out. Maybe, all vehicles get an Immobilised repair rule, on a roll of 6 on a D6. For gods Sake, all BA Tanks are FAST!!!

EDIT - Ooooh, how about, get this....Tech Guard Allies....Leman Russ's and IG options as TechGuard Allies?

Congratulations on the GW bump lol, very cool to read the article.

Indeed, cool!

Congrats on the blog post! It's a big accomplishment

Wow, this is amazing work. Thanks for sharing. I love the use of so many different bits and things cobbled together.

Amazing stuff alright.

Thanks for that, I wasn't sure if watch parts had bits like that. It's amazing that such small cogs and the like are made. It's nothing new of course but it's always fascinating seeing what we as a species are capable of. Congratulations on getting your army on the GW site too.

Congratualtions on making it onto the GW site, a really cool article showing off your skills! Much Kudos!

my head sploded

is there a website that sells bags of watch bitz or something?

You can get em off eBay Grundz, this is from page 3 of the blog:
