Iron Warriors 122nd Grand Company; Chaos Unleashed

[G.Hawke]

So begins my return to Iron Warriors. This project will take a number of months to complete since i'm waiting on a codex; Chaos marines (since the old one was discontinued in 2007).

Here's my early WIP's, pre-green stuff on the marines, and alot of work on the rhino and iron clad.





Until next time...

Hadn't really thought about it before, but those mkII crusader helms will make tremendous iron warrior heads!

Interested to see how you chaosify that ironclad torso.

And may I say that it is excellent work like your blood pact that inspired me to start my own traitor guard. Thanks, bud. Keep up the outstanding work!

Yeah, I'm in the same situation, mostly due to my choice of Dreadnought (New plastic which is rumored to come later this year or one from Forge World) and perhaps and added elemtnet of Night Lords. I want to know how te future looks like and if its positive for CSM players.

I should really stop looking at Iron Warrior logs, because everytime I click on them I know deep down that it's going involve those gorgeous MKII or MKIII armors and then my urge to get a whole forgeworld Iron Warrior returns once again. Maybe it will become inevitable when 6th edition comes out...

[TheConverter15]

Yay G.Hawke What happened to your Traitor Guard? Any hope of them featuring? Anyways, Im looking forward to see those marines painted up, but where is the head on the Sarge from?

That's why i started now... i realized the money needed would take 8 months to gather. plus, no rush to get them functional since they don't have a codex... yet.

thanks man! i can't wait to get to work on it, really impressed with the iron clad kit, very very sexy.

i may do some here and there as slaves, but until i get through the core of my forces (i.e normal marines) i won't be going into my planned side projects. Oh, the head's from drago from the grey knight kits, it just the only bare head i had, and he's just about old enough to be a rank and file sgt in the iron warriors.
All i will say is... well, in face see below.



Now guys, i want a moment of your time. i'm doing commissions via ebay atm in order to raise funds. regular viewers of my work will know i have a passion for building warmachines. And now i'm giving you the chance to get one quite cheap (i need the money for this army)


So, without further time waisting, here's your chance to own one. The Transfiler

take a look, if you like it i am building them quite cheap, the cost covers the defiler and a AOBR dreadnought for the base.

Quick late night update, found an ahriman a friend gave me a few weeks back. quick paint strip and a few added pieces later... an iron warrior sorcerer is born!




p.s any comments on the transfiler idea?

-hawke

[G.Hawke]

Hi guys, me again. I've got some more pic's of those older transfilers to show off;







I've now lowered the price to £75, which includes the defiler, a dreadnought for the base/parts for the transf' and construction (which takes 4-5 hours). i'm hoping someone will buy one... i could use the cash to help fund my own progress in this log.

Thanks for taking the time to view and read!

That thing is pretty intense. No potential for cover saves there, lol. Pretty cool stuff!

[G.Hawke]

Hi guys, i've finished modelling the first iron warrior;

The Green stuff has been left rough in places as part of my planned painting process since i'm not painting this guy in clean silvers.





C&C Welcome!

edit; although some of the gs does need cleaning... just noticed random shaving still stuck to the mini...

Similarly, check out My ebay where i'm selling a few 40k items including a contemptor dreadnought.

[G.Hawke]

Update time! about 18 months ago i found a box set from space crusade, payed £6-8 for it with about 7 inferno's thrown in. I realised... this box set contained older weapons... i've now found enough to save me £10.50 from forgeworld! during the search i also found an old sorcerer i was working on in this current style... so i now have iron ahriman and an actual sorc.




I've also done more detailing work on the first rhino, though it does make me want a deminos patter so i don't have the same hastle next time around.




C&C?

The armoured rhino looks sweet

it's got a while to go yet, i've got to fill all the gaps and add alot of details... but its nice having something different. thanks for the comment!


Sorc's had some arm swapping;


New ebay listing, a balrog blood thirster i painted a few months back

I've also got a raven guard commission on the books, so expect a change of pace very soon.

[G.Hawke]

Update time, finished the basic details for the rhino.



I could also use some advise on the dreadnought... i'm struggling to think of ways to make it more chaotic without the default of adding rhino spikes.




Any advice?

[Dark Magos Gillam]

trim and runes is always a good way to go. looks better than the spikes too. if ya really want to use spikes though, take them off the bases they are attached to. they don't look so bulky and cheesy that way.

by the way....what is that gun arm you are using there?

[LokkoRex]

Dark Magos Gilliam: it's from the blood angels furioso dreadnought, i think it's called a frag cannon, essentially a huge blunderbuss.

[TheConverter15]

G.Hawke: Why not add plenty of trophies and plenty of painted chaos stars (and hazard stripes)? Loving the transfilers too; great stuff

as lokko pointed out, the BA frag cannon. sexy thing on an iron dread though. I'm considering using spikes, i've also ordered some 3mm chain so hopefully those'll add something to it. i might use spikes to hang the chain off, make it look like broken restraints.

anyways, he's not finished yet, i've got a lot of details to paint up and some touch ups are needed, but this should give you the basic gist of where i'm going with these guys. I've also got my new bases through in the mail, i've got the dread posed on his and well... me gusta.








C&C?

[G.Hawke]

Ok update time! for this i've changed the base details to add hazard stripes, a busted/active excess/waste pipe, touched up the yellow and silvers, added a basic freehand iron skull (i'm not a huge fan of it, but i have yet to see an alternative. i've also changed the skin to a blue tone to break it away from the browns/reds of the steel and wires.
Please ignore the gold, i've lost my bright gold and my dark golds dried up. It's the only thing on this that needs major tweeks.








Any C&C? i think he's pretty much a solid example of a completed warrior.

[Inquisitor Kallus]

For the dread adding chains/chainmail might be a good idea? Its usually present on Chaos (40K and WFB) on the non-afilliated models. I also think it lends a little something to the knight-like image
