Iron Warriors Army

[thebaz]

Hi Everyone I have finally picked up the new CSM codex and Im planning on redoing my Iron Warriors army. This will include adding a whole bunch of units that were unavailable before, as well as models that have new releases, especially Terminators. I will also have to update my old models with Icons, repaint, and rebase all of the models.

New Units I plan to add:
-Siege Breakers that will count as Noise Marines. That I believe represent a elite unit that can deliver an amazing amount of Firepower, and still be able to assault an objective and be able to capture it with their High Initiative. These models will be completely converted from basic Space Marine Models, and many bits from the ol' Bits box
-Khorn Berzerker squad which was once allowed in past Iron Warriors lists. They will be perfect on the Counter Assault, as well as facing down well armoured units, as well as dealing with large amounts of enemies, I will base these models on small conversions made to the normal Berzerker Models
-A fully converted Chaos Lord with Daemon weapon
-Converted Terminators
-Chaos Predator
-some more Chaos Rhinos
-Various FW models
-Random stuff to add for Apocolypse games
-Knight Paladin Class Titan sometime in the near future

This is the base for my Warsmith, Its an ork Wartrack modified with various bits


Sorry about the grainy pics If anyone could tell me a better way of taking pictures that would be great so that I could present everyone with the details of my conversions

Edit: Took out the Grainy cruddy pics

[thebaz]

Heres the pics of my first noise marine conversion. this is one that is armed with an equivalant to a Blastmaster. The bits used in this model are from various kits, mainly a Burst Cannon for the weapon, and a peice from an old school tracked bike that was probably ork

[Marstfu]

Very, very blurry pics.

But what I can see looks good.

[thebaz]

got the head attatcheded to the Torso last night. On the bill for today, work on the Daemon Weapon. Attatch Torso to the Carriage. More cleanup on the Model

Im still trying to think of what to use to represent the 6 Sonic Blasters in my Seige Breaker unit. Does anyone have any Ideas?

[thebaz]

Update

More Mechandrites. For this I used several wires cut to the same length then were twisted together I then glued it to the Torso

any comments or Ideas are more than welcome

[thebaz]

Im debating about my Idea of having tentacle like mechandrites holding the Hammer, do u guys have ideas of a better way to do it?

C&C allways welcome

[The Wildchild]

Personally I'd have him holding the hammer with a pair of bionic arms, the bionics would justify him being able to hold such a chunky and heavy looking hammer. Mechandrites, whilst looking cool, tend to look like tenticles, which can make the model look weak, but you never know, you might just pull it off, it's a case of trial and error i guess. Model both, take pictures and let the warseer community have it's input. Good luck!

[thebaz]

Ya that was what I was beginning to notice as it progressed. Just not enough BEEEFCAKE!!!

I tried a game with the model today and He cleaved through an entire Dark Eldar Army, then turned around and charged into a Grey Knight GM and slaughtered him. Deffinately a powerful model for only 165 pts

Im gonna have to pic up some Plastic Card, and some guitar wire to make the Bionics for him cuz I dont think that straight sprues will do it justice like I did for my Blastmaster Noise Marine

thanks for the input

[thebaz]

Just had a trial game with my armylist and it cleaved through everything, I was very impressed

[thebaz]

I felt like painting something other than my Dark Angels so I pulled out my old Chaos Dreadnought and painted it so here it is


Im not entirely happy with the stripes but I have so much trouble painting them.

C&C greatly Appreciated

[thebaz]

Well heres an Update

Here is a picture of Longinus all put together, but not finished. The only plastic card I have been able to find is some clear stuff that is meant to be used for stain-glass it works but doesnt cut as cleanly.


Here is a size comparison photo for everyone


So what I decided to represent Sonic Blasters is taking 2 Tau Pulse Rifles and cutting them and putting them together. Then I cut the barrel off of a Boltgun and place the Pulse Barrels on. I think it works pretty nicely and looks good for a simple conversion

C&C greatly appreciated as always

[thebaz]

and here is another quick picture of my Chaos Lord Longinus, this one is to show a bit better how the Arms look now



Whatcha think?

[The Wildchild]

That hammer is HUGE!!!!

One thing you could do to make the hammer position more dynamic is have it at an angle to make it look like he's about to knock someone the ******* out with a hammer that size! Try angling it up, so the left side (where the hammer head is) is higher than the right side if that makes any sense?

Kinda like these

Games Workshop Online Store — Dragon Ogre Shaggoth (1 figure)

Games Workshop Online Store — Ogre Tyrant (1 figure)

Games Workshop Online Store — Luthor Huss, Prophet of Sigmar (1 figure)

The bottom link would be the best example...good luck!

[thebaz]

Thanks for the idea Wildchild. I did a slight reposition of the Arms to give him a bit more of a dramatic pose. I wanted the Hammer to be huge so that it would fit well with the Blissgivers Instant Death rule

The Daemon Weapon aka MC HAMMA

any comments or Ideas are more than welcome

Mc Hammer? lol! looks cool. i like the pitted look on the surface.

[Meticulous]

I definitely like Longinus, though I'm not sure about the Slaanesh symbol on there.

Your Noise Marine conversion ideas are neat; never thought of adapting them for an IW army. The concept behind the sonic weapons is sound, but they need some bulking up a bit. Smooth and sleek is a Slaanesh thing, IW stuff should be clunky and spit smog.

Like I said, I love the idea, it's just obvious that the guns are pulse rifles stuck on bolters. If I had some rifles of my own, I'd to some kitbashing to see what I could come up with.
