I've got another set of 20, I'm good!

So I checked my painting progress document, and I've had this guy assembled for almost two years now! Despite the crazy amount of detail on him, he painted up really quickly.

Love it

God dang these guys paint up fast:

Long time no post! I've been bouncing from project to project lately, wrapping up my retro Cadians and getting some work in on my retro Ultras (who are now bigger than my Iron Warriors!) so I thought I'd even the score a little bit with some Chaos reinforcements:


The doors are from Forgeworld (and I've had them forever) and the tracks are from Blood and Skulls. They were a pain to shave down to fit, but I'm super happy with how they turned out.

Nice stuff you got here SRM, looking at those Iron Warriors really has me thinking of putting my own little warband together

If only I had some more time on my hands.... (or money, or better painting skills for that matter)

Well, the only way to get better is to just get to painting! Spending just an hour a night on this stuff will get you more painted models and better skills in no time. I've painted close to 160 models this year alone, and anybody can do that if they just apply themselves and find a little time.

But you should totally put together some Iron Warriors! They're my favorite Chaos Legion without a doubt.

Chaos would be fun to put together I think, Iron Warriors even more so because they make all the good stuffz (daemon-machine hybrid tanks? Yes please!), although I believe my bitzbox doesn't have enough goodies in it yet to really get the 'chaos' look right

I'm still tinkering on my Death Ravens custom Chapter as well, and I also have some Orks lying around, so I guess it's time to start organizing my time a bit better

I like Iron Warriors because I don't have to paint them super Chaos-y; they're kind of the "get things done" legion and they don't dress up too much. I like the no-nonsense approach and the lack of giant tentacles and extra mouths and such. Those are factors that really drew me to the army.

The ones that do mutate look for pit slave bits from the now dead Necromunda.

I took a jab at painting a more loyalist-looking Iron Warriors-esque marine, a renegade fighting his own little crusade against his former brothers



And I even managed to paint him in about half the time I usually need to paint one marine!

Caution stripes on bolters are something that everyone could use more of!

This is making me want to get back to my Iron Warriors. Nice stuff.

So it's taken like 6 months since I finished building it, but I finally painted the Land Raider!

Splendid work The top's a bit clean though, I think it could use some more grimdarkness

I like to keep my vehicles mostly free of spikes and the like, since while they can look cool they just all snap off in my experience. I probably should have done some more caution stripes up top though!

Some of you may have seen this over in my Camhammer thread, but I recently put together a video overview of my Iron Warriors army!

Cool. Loving the Land Raider by the way.
