You have some great looking stuff coming! Very dynamic poses, definitely an "action-orientated" look to everything you've got on deck. Looking forward to seeing them painted!

Thanks. I have a hard time leaving minis in a "static" pose... since if you build them straight out of the box, every squad will look mostly the same. So most of these guys will be somewhat different and converted in some way.

Paint on all of the non Terminator squads will be done after I get their shoulder pads cast. as of right now, none of them have their left one. And thanks again.

Really great way of thinking, I've seen to many models get ruined by bad posing. Looking forward to those terminators

**Hyenajoe**

You're IW army is on a good way!

Good sculpt job on the soulder pads (I guess you've spent some time on those, right?)

**JoeyHeadwounds**

@ Limbo- I think I'm going to work on the Terminators today, getting a little burnt out on the Land Raider. Just need to sculpt their shoulder pads and add some other GS details... maybe some minor bionics work.

@ Hyenajoe- Thanks. Yeah, the shoulder pads take a little bit of time. By the time I'm done sculpting the design on one, the GS is starting to cure. So, about an hour and a half or so, per shoulder pad. I still need to clean up the design a little bit...

**Miss Dee**

here he is.

**JoeyHeadwounds**

Looks good Miss Dee... Sending a PM..

**logg_frogg**

Some creative vehicle work in here!

How big of a force do you have so far?

**bigmek35**

as a iron warrior wanna-be i love your army! i wish i could biuld like that.....

PS thanks for the tut link on the bionics helps alot!

**JoeyHeadwounds**

So far it's just the single squads of Khorne Berzerkers, CSMs, and Terminators, and one each of Dreadnought, Land Raider, and Vindicator.

Eventually I plan to have a Apocalypse sized force, but for now I'll add to it as I go along.

And I'm not in a hurry, since my local opponents are my nephew and my girlfriend, and they've done much less work on theirs than I have on mine. And I don't have any plans for the tournament scene any time soon.

Thanks and you're welcome.

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

Checking in hoping updates coming soon?

**tipios**

Nice work so far, I like the big spikes on your dread, and the trophies you added to them

**5P0G**

Your stuff is awesome, i really like your conversions

**JoeyHeadwounds**

Thanks everyone that has posted so far. I apologize for the long delay between this post and the last. I have been busy with life mostly, but I have been working on my army when I can.

I've got a Berserker, Terminator, and standard CSM all in various degrees of paint. I have added much to my Land Raider... including a dozer blade... I might even shoot some pics of my nephews Defiler that I have been helping him with.

Anyways, New stuff should be coming in the next few days. Once again, I apologize for the wait.

**GiraffeX**

Looking forward to seeing your new stuff.

**shingouki**

All the work ive seen in this thread is really promising,my stand out model is the Land Raider.The extra armour looks really cool imo.

**Praxiss**

Really nice work. I have the FW iron warriors dread and yours looks WAY better. i'm just too lazy.

I keep meaning to get decent pics of mine.

You got any plans for any other conversions? Warsmith? Daemon Prince

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

The waiti is worth whatever you post. Really looking forward to seeing more of your stuff.

**JoeyHeadwounds**

Ok so I finally got some time to get some pics taken, and and this time there is more than just my IW in the mix. First up is a Blood Angels tactical marine that I assembled and greenstuffed as a demo for my girlfriend.

Second are a couple of shots of my nephews Nurgle Defiler that I've been helping him with. It's a little rough, as he's not that good with hobby knives, but it's getting there. Also, he's not sure what he wants to do with it's legs yet...

Finally comes my guys. The first one is a shot of three. One each of Berzerker, Terminator, and standard CSM. They are in various stages of paint, but I wanted to show the overall look of the three squads I'm working on.

And lastly, comes the Land Raider. Since last time, I've added rivets(in the form of glass beads)... bigger than I wanted, but I think they look ok on the extra armor pieces. I'm also working on a dozer blade for it.

It's kinda ugly right now, but I'm confident it will turn out like the centerpiece I've been envisioning...

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

That Defiler is horrible in the most awesome way possible! I'm wicked looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

**JoeyHeadwounds**

Thanks Skalk. It's my nephews like I said, I'm just helping him with his army. I'm really looking forward to what he does with it as well.

He has a pretty good start on it, but isn't sure what he wants to do with the legs yet... That's why I put it on here. So if anyone has any ideas, suggestions or links, feel free to post them.

**JoeyHeadwounds**

Just a quick update... been working on the Land Raider over the last few days, and I've got the dozer blade fitted and working. It still needs more work, but it's getting there. I'll take more pics and post them tomorrow.

**tipios**

Great work on the landraider. I like what you are doing with the dozer blade, and the extra amour looks the part

**JoeyHeadwounds**

Thanks tipios. Well, I promised you all that there would be more pics of the Land Raider up today, and here they are.

**Lord Kaesar II**

I'm personally interested in getting an aerial view, so as to see the mechanics allowing the front ram to open and close. But that is a cool idea- ram into something and disgorge some Iron Warriors into or through fortifications. Kinda Gorgon like.

**tipios**

That is fantastic!!

**Savnock**

Ditto the call for an aerial- that's some really impressive curved plasticard work, and the GS is looking good too. Can't wait to see how it looks with paint on. Bang-up job!

**Miss Dee**

thats still cool.

Pm me with your address and I'll send you the dread

**JoeyHeadwounds**

@ Lord Kaesar II- Glad you like the idea. As for the aerial shot, well right now there is nothing to see... it's just a simple sliding piece.

However, I was planning on mounting a non functional hydraulic piston style device on the back of each side for a mechanical look. Will be made out of plastic tubing...

@ Savnock- Thanks, but it's not actually plasticard... just a curved portion of my son's long dead DVD player, well its plastic shell anyways...the same stuff as the armor plates. Dead electronics can be very useful in conversions.

@ tipios- thanks again, and it's good to see you're back on with your projects.

@ Miss Dee- Thanks and P.M. sent.

**tipios**

Wow, that is a very good use of an old DVD player

Are you using magnets to hold the dozerblades together when it is closed?
