Iron Warriors 122nd Grand Company; Chaos Unleashed

[atraphos]

option 3 as well, extra sinister!

[G.Hawke]

So i've not decided in the heads yet....

However i've got a new project. I've traded the last of my ork extra's (now down to about 1500-2k, a nice sized force) in return for ace chaos stuff including a new defiler. Now, before i started i've decided to take my lighting obession to the next level. I've Bought (but they've not yet arrived) some LED's.... which means glowing tanks are coming. Both of the next models are going to recieve the treatment, hence the low level of WIP involved at current. Both models are little better than blue-tacted mock up's pre instillation.

May i present the bare bones; Knight titan and Scourge Engine!

I'm not expecting feedback at this stage... i'm just hoping to get some interest from my handful of followers in what is to come...

I like the scourge engine. I kind of want one being operated by a Dark Mechanicus acolyte.

Also, I feel bad for the guardsmen on the Knight Titan's base. If I could I would advise playing possum.

looking very good hawke. I'm in the final stages of finishing something similar on my blog, check my last update to see my interpretation of a defiler knight.

I think the defiler is most definitely amongst the more fun kits to use in 'bashing interesting vehicle constructs together.

The Scourge is looking great, any thoughts on rules? counts as? that sort of thing?

I'm thinking Hellhound, hence the square base to avoid the typical 'Oh but it's profiles different' cry babies.

Now for the update;

Brace yourselves... The red hoods are coming!

[G.Hawke]

Now for a blury photo teaser of my first models. Dark Mechanicus Cultists (used a conscripts in the final army, hence the low level conversion work);



Photo's tomorrow when i can actually get enough light and finish touching it up. I might finish the other 4 first as well...

Seems like the trend on the forums these days is that you get comments for comments.

Anyways, like what you`ve got going, a lot, but that lord of yours. He`s win

Lol thanks red! nice to see your still alive, i thought you'd disappeared, but apparently your doing fantasy now? Your right about the trend, but it's been that way since they split the forums. It's really hard to follow the logs of your regular's/community members you like. now onto the matter at hand.



The Iron Lung:


The original name of the world, Medrenax, once boasted a population in the billions, which was lost around M39,454. Its new titled, The Iron Lung, refers to the insidicous growth upon the planet, a network of steel, bone and rock that goes to the lowest edges of the crust of the planet to the highest reaches of its atmosphere. It is one of the many examples of the Medrengard style guard camps and birth place of its most noted forces, the Medrenax 407th Legion. Other worlds include Vrosk IV, Hreuk and the now dead world of Drukiar minor.

Of the native forces of the Iron Lung the most dangerous belong to the Dark Mechanicus. Even on a world infested with chaotic technologies, monster and freaks they stand apart. Obsessed with the acquisition of new machines, be they captured or built from archaic STC's and experimenting with the Obliterator Virus they have moved into the Iron Lung and spread like a disease. Where it not for the rival factions, notably the 5 Iron Regents, they would have spread across the world and turned it into another Forgeworld long ago. The Iron Regents are a collective of high ranking powers on the world, 4 lesser factions of which the Mechanicus form one and the Medrenax Militia form another and The Iron Warrior 122nd Company form the fifth ruling grand power.

At any time any of the 4 residential forces may be called upon to go to war along side the 122nd. This forms a large body of the Tithes they Iron warriors demand for allowing the factions protection on this fortress world.



Now for a some models for the traitor guard forces, a captured Leman russ.

Great Tank!

[G.Hawke]

Now for some finished tanks (well except one heavy bolter) and a WIP all purpose word bearer terminator.





C&C welcome, as always, but not expected.

[horacus]

Damn, they are looking awsome.

[malika]

Apostle who kind of decided to stick with the Iron Warriors? You could also include him in your pre-heresy version...

thanks man!

It's for use in the allies sytem as a blood angel/vanilla marine librarian/chaplain. Since i play under the wolves codex at present, i can take them as blood brothers and benefit from the shield of sanginus, a key tactic in my armour devisions during 6th.

Now for some new tanks, this time i've decided to capture some cadian tanks. This is the first Hydra of a pair, and a basecoated leman russ. Still heavily WIP but i wanted to show i've not gone idle while i learn how to make tanks work in 6th...

[G.Hawke]

and since i got back from work i found a parcel containing the last of my electronic supplies, i've now got a rough mock up of what i might do. Still need to make room for the headlights though...





-hawke

[G.Hawke]

Now for the main event - 3 LED's providing two headlights and a weaker internal lighting.







What do we think?

-hawke

[horacus]

Sweet, really sweet

[atraphos]

nice work on the lights, how do you switch them on/off?

[Dragon Lord]

Great stuff Hawke, though I can't help thinking that as cool as the LED headlights are it's kind of a shame given how good your source lighting is on the others! Always love seeing the transfilers too.

[Dullmohawk]

This is perhaps the best log I've seen on warseer. Ever. How do you get your models to looks so gritty? Is there a tutorial somewhere? I love the dusty bases and the red smears on your models and vehicles, it makes them come alive.
Thanks for a great log, and keep up the good work!
