The dreadnaught isn't entirely finished yet. I still need to complete his base. Here is a snapshot of my troops. I wanted to go pic heav so you could really get a feel of the paint scheme.

**TheChronoTrigger**

The last thing I have at the moment is my terminator lord.

**Limbo**

That's some nice warriors you got there! Will take some inspiration from these
Wish I could paint hazard stripes as well as you -.- How do you do the stripes? Would like to know how you do your gold aswell

**viney**

Dynamite Iron Warriors!

**menziez**

nice iron warriors mate.
you have ALOT of orcs lol. good on ya for really getting it done. your iron warriors look good mate, a little too bright for me, but the bases look really nice!
well done.

**The Humungus**

Keep it up man. This Rules.

**Trilobite**

Great looking Iron Warriors, keep up the good work!

**TheChronoTrigger**

Thanks evryone. I finished base coating all my other vehicles. Nothing prevelant as of yet to show.

@ Limbo: The stripes are definitely tough. First I decide where the stripes should go. Then I lay down two coats of skull white followed by two coates of yellow, i forget the name of the yellow, its the darker one. Not sunburst yellow. After that I carefully paint the stripes with a detail brush with chaos black trying to keep the angle and width the same. I don't use tape or a mask. On large areas like the dozer blade I did pen out where my stripes were before I painted them.

As far as the gold its just burnished gold with a wash of delvin mud

**Lint**

Well done. I enjoyed the orks, but it's good to see you've come to the side of chaos! IW is not my favorite scheme, but you've done one of the better paintjobs I've seen on here.

**TheChronoTrigger**

Thanks Lint, the orks are very time consuming. I really enjoy the clean look of iron warriors. I think they look so badass.

Anyone have suggestions on vehicle weathering for me? Do they look weathered enough or should I really go all out. And what are some good techniques. I want them to look crisp and industrial with a good amount of veteran battle wear.

**orange1095**

Nice stuff. the kommados are too glossy for my tastes but i like the foliage, and those chaos are great.

**calypso2ts**

You should post up the new weathering you did on your LR in here Chris.

Never knew you did Kantor or that Libby, they look awesome.

**krusty**

calypso = erich?

anyway chris your army looks like gak, you should spend a little more time on the hazard stripes and weathering, and back to base ix is a waste when you can spend more money on bases that dont even match your army that well...
and on top of that, erich is lying....
have a nice night, see you saturday to kill your dh character...

**calypso2ts**

Correct Zack, he is shelling out way to many thrones for those bases...at least they have something to sit on.

**krusty**

/suicide

ty... ty so much for that...

**Nutter1557**

Whoaaaa...would they be silver thrones to match? cuz i don't think chaos can sit on golden thrones

**Vlad Von Carstien**

holy cow the cloak is absalutley out of this world the amount of detail on the posiden looking guy is amazing.
keep it up

**TheChronoTrigger**

thanks Vlad... took a while to do

@ calypso, krusty and nutter...... you guys are losers

I will be posting my new weathering tho, I also got a couple of my Malifaux models painted up. Will post shortly

**calypso2ts**

Zack is definitely going to drop a pile of thrones on you Saturday when you play DH. When are you going to finish your orks?

**mercer**

Liking the Iron Warriors!

Though what paint did you use as they look a little, new. If armour and tanks are 10,000 years old I think they'd look more gritty. How about some badab black or devlan mud wash? Devlan mud is the lighter of the two.

How did you do the hazard stripes btw?

I guess for scratches you used chaos black and then boltgun metal over the top?

**TheChronoTrigger**

So here is the start of the weathering I'm gonna be doing for all my vehicles.

And this is Lady Justice, the lighting is bad in the pic but feel free to comment.

**Miss Dee**

I'll bite who's the chick?

Nice Iron Warriors

**calypso2ts**

The chick is 'Lady Justice' from Malifaux (sp?)

She looks good, but I think she'd look better with really light skin myself.

**krusty**

she looks pretty dope chris...
the lighting in the pic of the landraider is alot better for minis

now you can get your painted minis smacked down by pandora!

and yes yer spelling is right erich...
we will get you into it, no matter for long it takes...

**TheChronoTrigger**

Psshhhh Pandora is a panzy.

Eric, you need to get into Malifaux. Like now.

I have progress on my predator, will post pics soon

**Grambo**

Hey chrono,if you need any csm,tell me,ive got all infantry.PM if you need em.

**Mock Heroic**

Awesome, i really enjoyed looking at them, nearly tempted me into starting some myself!

**Miss Dee**

I have some Iron Warriors I want to move on.... so I have room for a Death Guard army ......

**iron warriors27**

Now that is a some true awesome iron warriors, the painting is nice!

**TheChronoTrigger**

Hey Dakka,

Long time no see. Been a while since I posted. I actually have 2000pts of my iron warriors fully painted. I will gets pictures up soon.

Here's a teaser tho. Im starting grey knights and taking on the landraider first. Here is what I have so far. Much more to come.
I also took these pictures quickly with my phone so don't judge the quality of the photo.
