I will add this to my blog over in P and M , but here is a sneak pic of my Iron vet unit , i will have a fluffy Bio for each one as I paint them and post them .

I was going for a kinda Army of two feel ( a video game for the xbox and ps3 ) I want them to appear as they have there own custom gear and can handle about any task . so They hav a lot of custom mods on there las guns , the have the ballistic face masks and some modded there las with ballistic shields , front grips , laser sites , well you get the idea .

The plastic stock was a cut up playstation network card for some extra mileage for my 20 bucks lol

Nice job on the playstation card gun-shield... but needs something to make it stand out a little more and not be so flat. Rivets and trim? I dunno, I'm sure you'll think of something. Army of Two is a sweet game, BTW. I think you are doing great simulating that look and feel... Surely it will look epic when you get them painted up!

they look good, i like the conversions, buuut, the shields on the guns, they look a tad unrealistic, on a heavy weapon maybe, but not a shotgun, you need to be able to move a shotgun around alot

Awesome. But I second the message about the gunshields.

sA

Ahhhh you never played army of two , they moved there guns around just fine . The gun shield is used for entry or fast approach kinda like what the swat team use there ballistic shield for but smaller and more maneuverable
, please keep in mind we are talking about a 40k universe I am sure they have a more light weight material to use for ballistic plating . Storm trooper armor isnt bulky at all and offers a 4+ save .

I am going to try and finish the green stuff work today and start painting tonight . And as always thanks for checking these guys out and leaving honset feed back .

As for the shot gun plate I am was iffy on that one it might come off .

Really nice and characterful with great poses, really really liking the flamer spray

These models are really characterful. My favourite one is the one with the powerfist!

They all look like they're suited for different jobs- fantastic work!

Cheers,

Jack.

love em, and AO2 is a great game, just no gold guns

i agree about the shields though, could be worth loading the game up and noting some of the details on the gun shields, might give you some ideas.

Army Of Two? never thought of doing that as i love the helmets for that game
good job
now golden rpg!

These guys are awesome! I love the powerfist guy and the one with the tooled up lasgun!

Now get some paint on them and make some more!

LOve the game and love the models nice job there mate

Jeebus, man! For all that's sacred in the world, FIX YOUR PICS!!!
I need 8 more monitors to see them all. That, or I'll die of starvation while side-scrolling back and forth to read all the replies.

So here is the first vet painted and ready to rock !

This is Ressco " Upgrade " Flintlock , Like all young cadian' s he was breaking down , cleaning , and putting his las gun together before he fully knew how to read . He was in the conscript platoon a fresh faced 16 year old boy quickyly being noticed by his field officers as a crack shot , he was put into the regular forces with the " crazy " 888 air drop division . He served with the 888th through the black campaign a campaign that was filed as top secret and little is known of the missions involved , not even the men involved speak about it and if the subject is touched its met with stone cold silence .







Upon returning from his missions in the Black campaign Ressco went on to work for the emperor on high priority missions this is where he was inducted into the Iron vet squadron and picked up the nickname " Upgrade " as you can see from the pics Ressco has a love for upgrading his gear , when his unit comes home for a short leave he runs to the nearest rogue trader to service his gear rather than ummm service himself like the others do . With his love for his upgraded gear and his skills with his las gun he acts as the units sharp shooter , as well as the units " hacker " . His gear consists of all sorts of scanners , stabilizers , ammo types , even a top of the line mini computer which he is often fiddling with on the units down time in the field .

Upgrade is one of the two only members of the iron vets to pick up an emperors seal , his is for marksmanship . The seal of marksmanship was given to him for killing The ork commander of Grazznlark a Stompa class titan from a hovering Valkyrie 275 yards out , which caused the Stompa's crew to become too unorganized to operate the huge titan , it was easy for the imperial navy to sweep in and finish it off .

Hope you enjoyed the first bio to the iron vet squad , I am new to writing fluff for my units on the forums hope you all enjoy it .

Is there gonna be a Rios and Salem?

I wasnt going to have a Rios and salem but seems I get alot of that maybe Il convert them and use tham for when I field sgt. harker and bastone
