Do I need to give them a load of bionics?
Equivalent of servo harness in every squad?
Possessed parts painted to look as though they've been artificially engineered?

Aside from the colour scheme, what else can I add? I've seen the shoulder pads on gws site though £9's a bit much. Can you recommend any other bits that I may not have considered?

Thanks in advance

You could always use the iron hands bits pack, sprinkled throughout the army. Some nice bionic bits in there.

I had the idea (well I saw it on dakka) of using the iron hands pack with a csm squad box to make bionic counts as plague marines for my IW army.

That's pretty much what I did with my Iron Warriors. Very basic IW Paintjob, but I put some reddish weathering powders on them, and tried to make them look tarnished and rusty.

Another interesting source of bionic parts is http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/ They have arms and leg sets that would work well for bionic parts.

Also bionic - or generally teched up heads would also look great at least for the character models and champions.

My first large army was IW and I used a lot of old Warriors of Chaos bits along with any bionic I could get my hands on. The Warriors of Chaos bits gave them a more heavily armored medieval feel with the different axes and swords. I had a “counts as nurgle” squad that I gave shields to make them look like they had breaching shields. My berserkers had double handed weapons and I used the legs of the regular berserkers for greater movement poses. My lord had the Archon swords from chaos fantasy and a heavily modified backpack based off fabuis biles. With the large amount of deamon engine type minis currently in the codex you have a lot of options to build a great iron warriors army.

I'd not even thought of the Warriors of Chaos bitz... damn fool...! Lol.

Thanks for the suggestions, does anyone here have a pic of a 40k Chaos Marine with Anvils bionics?

True Scale them, they'll definitely stand out then.

That's a little outside of my current skill set pal
