Glad you like it It's actually my favourite part of the hobby, that moment when you finish a project and can look on it in all its glory. Luckily this particular project has a phase two to look forward too, which will include the most ridiculous single unit conceivable (Perturabo and co)...

Ta! you know what, not too much. Probably about half a pot of Vallejo steel, a tub of leadbelcher air, and nearly a full tub of gloss nuln. Good mileage I think for 2.5k points.
The infinity stuff is now built. Hopefully I'll be able to get some sand on the bases and undercoat them this week and start painting next weekend

So, first blog post of the new year hope everything one who reads this had a fantastic festive period, I certainly did!
I had said previously that I was going to have a break from the Iron. I have made a start on some space hulk terminators, but my intention to do the infinity models has been hampered by not being able to get outside to spray them, what with winter weather not being ideal for primer. So, more iron has been done than intended... I haven't got too many pictures at present, but I've finished a chaplain and a ten man plasma support squad, a contemptor, and I have started work on the next batch;
These are going to be a little different. I'm going to do all my mkiii as pure IV Legion, and have a small collection of them. They'll be veterans in bigger games, but won't have cheverons, or the death mask icon.
I'll try and get some pics of the finished stuff tomorrow.
Cheers

You've returned at last! (not that I can say anything about that...)
I spray inside in a room that isn't frequently used with a face mask on, then crack open every window and leave it for an hour or two; works well because I don't put the central heating on
Looking forward to seeing the Iron return

Never go in the garage personally, so I do all my spraying in there. Quite well ventilated in there too. Looking forward to seeing the new models!

Cheers fellas. The room I paint in is also where I dress and keep all my clothes, so whilst airbrushing is alright, I wouldn't use a rattle can. Managed to clear the space to get the lightbox out, so definitely more pictures soon the dread is nothing special, but the other stuff is alright.

I love the orange plasma weapons. They look fantastic with the metal of the Iron Warriors scheme. Is it done with an airbrush or painted with a brush?

Cheers Bottle. Normally I just do the coils copper and leave it at that, but for these I thought that the orange would suit them better. The orange was airbrushed on, then neatened up by hand, you can just about see on the tops of the barrels where I've darkened it a bit. Not great osl, but good enough for a unit I'll probably never actually use

Just a little side project I've started today to go alongside the IV legion that is the main focus, a techno barbarian tribe for late unification wars era battles. A few of my gaming buddies are getting on the bandwagon, so might die a quiet death, or build into something reasonable. Going for the roid fused, sledgehammer punching kinda look reminiscent of goliaths, with a few runts running around between them (gene breeding doesn't always work out well). They still need greenstuffing to finish them off.
Hope you like the idea/models

Cheers Hänk, glad you like them, lots more still to come...
@WBD you know it! Got a power pick-axe on one of the backpacks for extra fast ground breaking. They are coming along, doing some suitable battle damage on these, lots of scuffs and scratches, so should look fairly 'worn' by the time they are done. As soon as it warms up a bit I'll be able to get the resin stuff primed

Slow progress so far, despite plenty of time at the painting table. Models are on bases (which needed painting), black bits blackened, and started a bit of battle damage here and there;
Hopefully a good blast at the weekend will move things along abit. Proteus is coming along too, although I'll wait until it isn't just a mass of silver and black before posting pictures.

Cheers tinfoil, here you go;
(these guys will probably work using squig rules)
Few close ups of the mkiii, I've added some battle damage, and a thin brown glaze at the bottom of the armour panels to break up the starkness of the silver a little, I don't want to be accused of trying to have an easy life on these lads
(This is actually a ten man unit, the other five are just carrying their bolters two handed, with no conversion work, so I haven't bothered taking pictures of them yet)
I am also doing a five man unit of each of these;
And finally, the Proteus so far
The black panels need highlighting and hazards, doors need doing as do the guns, but getting there. Although I'm enjoying painting these, I'm looking forward to it all being done so I can move on to the resin stuff that I basecoated today. Lots of steps still to go though

They really are nice models.

30? Jesus. I was sore at my five costing around £75ish by the time I'd upgraded the shoulder pads and bought the missiles from eBay...
I've been gearing up for another five anyway, so mercifully for me they have come at a good time. Hopefully they will fit nicely together in one unit. Your mate will suddenly have a good pride of the legion row with all those terminators if he goes ahead.

Finshed the base coats on the shoulder pads today, so glued them on to the vets (the havocs and support squad are a couple of steps behind on the lenses so haven't done them yet. The backpacks need a little brown adding to the shading, and the brass needs a final highlight, but getting there steadily. Once I get to Whw for another transfer sheet (you get 15 of the design I need 30 of on one), I can add some battle damage to the pauldrons, and they'll be done. . As ever, better pic on completion, which will hopefully be by the end of the week for all three squads and the Proteus.

I'm slightly jealous that you can just go to WHW and get all the FW stuff you need off the shelf. I bet you're a regular customer with the amount of models you get through so quickly
The bases are looking fantastic as usual, compliments the IW colours very well. Vets are looking mighty fine as well!

If you do want more before the actual ones are released bud.
Sod hunting down GW cyclones on eBay.
I even use them for my deathwatch.
Well worth trawling through the site too as they got some nice stuff you could make use of.
Also, from ordering it's never taken longer than 3 days to arrive.
So fast, cheap and reliable.
