Iron Hands Commission

[dave8oy]

hey all

I'm back with another commission, this time we've got some Iron Hands

I'll update this with an army list ASAP, at the moment were two squads in one tac squad and one termi squad.

As is only right for Iron Hands we're gonna be using LOTS of bionic bits, so any links to IH or bionic ideas would be appreciated, so far I've been using :-

IH marines box set
max mini bionic bits
FW character conversion kit
FW Phobo's bolter's

got some char minis to come soon and a dreads will be on the way but will keep them under wraps for now.......

anyway on with the pic's

first off we have the termis

starting with the sergeant

he got a max mini head and bionic left arm rest is standard termi set

[dave8oy]

next up we have a SB PF termi with a max mini leg

Nice highlighting on the black and also i like the basing a lot. It will realy add character to the army.

[SewerRat42]

Very nice, looking forward to seeing the rest

Ludovic

[Sparowl]

Looking nice. The chapter symbol on the second terminator is really nice.

Quick question: What are you using for the cogs on the bases? They're coming out nice.

[Mascharius]

I just can say the same as the guys before outstanding models.

I really like the bionics everywhere and the coolest part is in my opinion the black Power Sword.

Keep it up, can´t wait to see some more

Cheers Mascharius

[dave8oy]

here's the first of the Tac squad open for and comments and criticisms


these are the heavy and special support for the first squad

[eltanko]

Those Iron Hands are looking badass!! The Termie squad looks excellent and the regular marines are just as good. All the additional transfers add really good detail.

[Belesarius]

Will be keeping an eye on this thread.

Just started a IH sucessor chapter. So excited to see what someone of a higher painting level than myself can do.

Any chance of a step by step photo tutorial of the skin process?

[Ravenfeld]

Hey everyone!

So this is my commission that I am having Dave do and we have really put our heads together. I first saw his work with his little yellow men and I knew that he would be the perfect man for the job and so here we are.

There is a heavy energy weapon theme in the army with a focus on plasma.

Yes there is a venerable dread and a MotF (Iron Father) in the army!

I am as excited as the rest of you to see what the rest of the models are going to look like!

Glad you guys are as impressed as I am!

The Terminators are obviously Squad Volmont and the above Tacticals are the heavy/special weapon carriers in Squad Doran. Wait until you see Sergeant Doran, he is very impressive!

For fluff's sake I can tell you right now that Squad Volmont is not only lead by the Librarian Volmont, but the Sergeant is actually the Librarians Grand-nephew, who fought long and hard to become one of the fabled Space Marines and fight alongside his venerated ancestor. I have developed my own clan, and my own clan families for this army so I am excited to make all the characters come to life with their own short stories and backgrounds! I'll post it down the road perhaps.
