I used the pre-heresy Iron Warriors tansfers from BOLS found here

That rhino top hatch is absolutely outstanding, and if you ever find a couple of spare casts, I'd be happy to reimburse you for your time, materials and postage.

I'm sure we can come to some sort of deal. Just gotta get the hang of casting first.

On that note heres one of the first decent casts of the rhino doors, had a few bubbles but nothing as bad as my first attempts.
The trim is from the awesome templates that Subtle Discord has done over on B&C found here.



Update on the raptors. Just need to get some space marine transfers and bloody them up to finish them.



Relic Predator WIP. Tried a chipping medium, but am not happy with the results, made the black look crap, epcially on the front.



WIP Dakka Havoc Squad.



Heres some stuff from my existing army.










And last and certainly least are some test models for a new Traitor guard scheme.

Your work just really is so cool! Keep this up, this thread could be big!

Just a quick update adding some pictures from my gallery to this blog. More pictures in my gallery if you are interested.

Some artillery. Accuracy through terror.




And my cataphractii terms.

Some more Havocs and an apothecary.

Looking great. I love the Havoks!

Well then here's a WIP of another bitter bolter wielding psychopath.

Some finished havocs.
Having a lot of fun with this squad, and they are no slouches on the battlefield either.
















My next project involves my current raptor champion, who, in game after game feths up big time.
My last game against a friends Flesh Tearers was the last straw, the squad missed their deepstrike meaning only two of the three meltas (one being a combi-melta) were in range.
Then he had the audacity to die in a challenge to a tactical squad sergeant. At least he didn't get a chance turn tail an run like other games.
Any way his failure is unacceptable and as a result of his continued disappointment he shall be entombed in a dreadnought I got given by a friend.
One of the old metal toe breakers, I'm thinking along the lines of a multimelta and a sweet siege hammer, like in the start of Storm Of Iron.

Finally found some Space marine transfers, so the raptors are done.
Still need to decide how to deck out the champ, Combi melta and lighting claw or plasma pistol and power weapon.

Amazing work, inspirational.

Beautiful work. Looking forward to more of your stuff!

As always, thanks for the comments, the more comments you leave the more motivated I get to do more.

Here's the latest two models to clog up my WIP pile, another melta gunner and a Huron counts as.

Amazing work!

The raptors and havocs are personal faves, but counts as abbadon and huron are great too!

Hope to see more of these guys. Gives me some great inspiration for my own iron warriors.

Great kit bashing work, very dynamic, loving the poor imperial guard guy about to be used to clean a windshield.

Cheers, the metal gunners been a wip for a while, reckon the imperail guy needs some gore on his back where he's being held.


Look what just arrived on my desk.
Is this normal for the chain weapon arm?
I've never had forge world bits on this type of sprue, only finecast.






Automatically Appended Next Post:
The new home of my shamed raptor champion.
Wanted to try create a dread with a siege hammer like in the start of Storm of Iron, I reckon he looks Iron Warriors as feth.
The main body of the hammer is mostly plasticard with a chaos knights mace as the end.
The arm is a magma cutter from the mauler fiend kit.
Body is the Iron Warriors dread from forge world, the radical reaper auto cannon is forge world also.

Since I had a few people ask how I did the gore on my raptors I took some pictures while doing a small patch on my melta gunner in order to show you how i do it.

Firstly I dab a bit of super glue on the origin of the gore then add a blob of greenstuff on top.
The super glue just keeps it there so the next step is easier.



This is the tool I use. As you can see it's very similar to a dentists pick but anything with a point will do, a tooth pick or sewing needle.



Then you just start tearing bits of green stuff off of the blob. It's fine to actually remove some green stuff here, it should be forming "ribbons" now.



Thats pretty much it, just manipulate the ribbon to dry in the direction you want the gor flying/falling and you're done.
Now just paint it red and slather tamiya clear red over it all.

Love what you have been doing. All the little touches like the shovel or the hammer here or there. Awesome. I think yours might be my favorite Iron warrior army i have seen. Really like the counts as abadon.

Thanks a lot for the feed back. It's a major theme I try to convey with my IW's is that first and foremost they are siege specialists and certainly no strangers to putting steel to stone.

Got The steel colours done and the foundations for golds and chevrons down on my dreadnought.

Hell yes radical stuff man. Dread looks good. He knows iron within better now,than he ever did as ur raptor champ .next battle my flesh tearers DC dread can rip him to pieces in anther epic dread duel!!!!

Hes got one more chance to reclaim his glory before his soul is bound to an earthshaker cannon, but if you think he's going toe to toe with your Furioso you are dreaming.
In fact your Furioso's going to have a little surprise next time we clash.

Here's the latest progress on this dread anyway.

Another dread I had that I have stripped back and started fresh on.
Still a WIP, gotta do more chaosifying of the weapons.

These guys, what parts did you use for them? Also, where do you get all your hammers?

They are the Anvil Industries black ops, with head gun, and sholder guard swaps. You get some seriously awesome bits in the set, and the casting quality is some of the best I have seen.

As far as hammers go, Huron's is from the FW cat terms, the havoc's one is from the baneblade kit and the two handed champions one is from a blood angels kit I think. Any others you were wondering about?


Here's a sneak peek at my latest piece of dreadnought madness.



Also Rat-corpse666 sent me this sweet IW patch

So this is the contemptor as he stands at the moment, still plenty to do including filling out the detail on the butcher cannon, adding rivets (scale rivets from titchy trains in the post.), and possibly adding more chaosness to the trim mainly on the shins and shoulders, thoughts? He still needs to be based also and will be tearing an imperial fist limb from limb and throwing half the corpse away with plenty of gore like my raptors.

What do you think? Any improvements you can think of?

Iron Within! I would wage war in Perturabo's name along side you as battle brothers any day.

Your army is so sweet bro, always loved the I.W any yours are some of my favourite so far (and iv seen heaps.) Absolutely love the marine making the guardsman kiss the rail on the back of your bassie and the devastators, contemptor is looking great too and the rivets will help rough up that smooth chest plate nicely. But like I said everything you have posted is mint, keep it up.

I meant the smaller hammers, like what he has.

I know it's just a coincidence, but to me the pic looks like he just threw that other iron warrior away.
"You are not strong enough brother BEGONE!!!!"

Excellent work

I may have missed it, but will there be ammo drums or a hopper for the twin reapers?

Again thanks for the positive replies.

Heh not intentional but totally makes sense as that armless raptor is the previous champion of my raptors, and he most certainly is not strong enough.

Yeah definitely gonna put some drum mags on the butcher cannon, I was going to use the imperial guard autocannon ones but the just seem kinda whimpy for such a large gun, may have to scratch build something.
