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!

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 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.

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

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.

Warsmith needs a bit of GS in the joints as well as the claw.
