Man that bloodthirster is big. I want one....

He looks awesome, as does Nârik. Is your verdigris effect created using the GW technical paint, and if so,many tips on how to use it. Every time I try it goes horribly wrong!

Bloodthister is really cool.

Yes I always use Games Workshop range.  Only none GW stuff I use are plasticard (stock up on this from my NQ to HND model making college course for three years)/tube/H beams & MIG pigment fixer. 

I support my local store for the help & where I am today in the hobby, as well as a lot great people I've met though out the years in the store & work part time a few year back.

 

It depend what your useing it for?  If it say rivets I'd use a standard brush (GW brush with orange band) & just paint around the rivet.  Don't use it like a wash, just use that or a detail brush & ude part your wanting to paint as a guide.  So here I've just follow the line, any that spill just wipe it with the brush or paper.  But this is how I general use it.

You can also mix medium with sotek green?  If your want a little darker tone or Templar Guard Blue, just make sure to use more medium to help turn the paint into a sort of wash/glaze.

 

Edit - Adding in Games Workshop youtube video on Nihilakh Oxide

Games Workshop youtube page has a lot of great painting guide videos.

Quick update

 

My holiday started on Monday there & will finish up on Sunday.  During that time off I wanted to get some time toward the hobby & aim to get a Predator tank convrted up.  So today been pretty much getting that done.

 

I want the theme for the Predators to be command tank if I go unbound & just to have Predator.  I like gaming with mech armies & tanks in general are really cool to build & paint.  Might ask my friends if there ok for me to use warlord traits for this Predator for friendly games/unbound.

From the start of today

Then the tank a few moment ago.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC09508_zpsrnhoeo1p.jpg

 

As well as painting the inside part for the Predator tank kit, I was also getting all the extra armour plate cut out from plasticard so it would be ready to add plasticard strips & plastic-rods for the rivetes that will get done tomorrow.

 

Conversion wise - I'm hope to get the Heavy Bolter from the Land Raider kit & use the shield part from that.  While the ammo fed will be useing one of the box part from the Predator weapons.  Also useing the camera from the Land Raider Crusader kit for the Twin Linked bolter chose.

Just waiting on parts to arrive from a few bitz order for the commander/crew, they should be here tomorrow from what the order email said   Try have the Iron Warriors more wire into the Predator turret.

 

I'm hoping to have the Predator built by tomorrow & ready for painting by the weekend.

 

Right now I'm looking into adding a unit of Khorne Berzerkers to my Iron Warriors.

 

Model wise - Feel free give some suggestion?
I think the main part for my unit going to be

- Night Lord Terror squad Helmets

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/The_Horus_Heresy/Legiones_Astartes/Night_Lords/NIGHT_LORDS_LEGION_TERROR_SQUAD_HEADS.html

- World Eater upgreard kit

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Chaos/CHAOS_INFANTRY_AND_ACCESSORIES/WORLD_EATERS_CONVERSION_SET_.html

 

Just place a Forge World order for those kits yesterday.

 

I want to stay away from to warp/mutations.  My Iron Warriors meant to be more corrupted heresy.  Just wounder if it would be worth also give the unit Siege shield with the Khorne brass etch or leave those for this unit?

Possible make use of the Raptor feet. 

Possible try get some of the Chosen Chaos models from the box game (mainly Champion & Power Axe model) & convert the shine area of those models with the updated tactical Marine legs for bit more pose, like the conversion I done for my Lord in Power Armour & Dark Apostle for Call of Chaos.

I'd also want to use the 32mm base for this unit as they look cool.  As always the Ork loin cloth armour plates & trophies.

 

Just trying to sort out that theme/look for the unit.  To help add to there history, how each unit in my Iron Warriors force have there own sub theme & you can tell a lot about the unit by looking that the conversion.

 

I want to try make this unit sort of like Urik Hai Berzerker from the LotR Movies & add into what Death Company are to Blood Angels if that make sense.

 

I've been looking that the Bloodquest comic for idea for my Khorne Berzerker unit as well.  As said before the Bloodquest comic has always been one (of many) of the main soruce for idea

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08040_zps41ec9520.jpg

 

I'm also check out Teethgrinder brillaint World Eater army for idea.

 

For the unit I'm going for 8 models, Champion most like going to have a Power Fist.  Possible a Plasma Pistol in the unit or two, glow effect be cool.  Chainaxe for the unit as it only right.

Rhino transport with Dire Caster? to stop overwatch & to be honsty it somthing I've wanted to try model onto a Rhino.

I might model a Havoc Launcher that can be use as well as standard Rhino top hatch.  Just I've got the Space Marine Hunter gun left over from my second Castellan Rhino converted last year for Rapid Fire.

 

Khorne Berzerker - I use to have a unit of them in my Iron Warriors force back under the Index Astarties list when we could have 0-1 unit of them.  They where part of my first Conflict Scotland army.

I've always been fan of Khorne, my Black Legion force was Khorne heavy theme force from the old clip together models to the current multi part plastic kit. 

I've said in the past, one my aims for this version of my Iron Warriors force was to bring back a lot of these units/update them in this army.  From my updated converted Sorcerer Krull in 2012, 2001 I added a Sorcerer model day before Conflict Scotland 2002 all because he was a cool model.
Then there the classic Metal Dreadnought that was in my first version of my Iron Warriors, paint strip & then find the model again when moving house.  Got him painted up again & join the ranks of my current Grand Company force.

 

So want to add the Khorne Berzerker unit & have them base & carry on the history of that unit that was part of my Mk1 Iron Warriors force from 2001.

 

 

[Daemon2027]

Thanks for the tips with the Oxide, I think I am loading my brush with to much.

 

Looking forward to seeing the berzerkers, is the reason for using NL helms to avoid the 'bunny ears'.

I can see Khorne being attractive to the IWs, especially amongst those breaching the gaps made by the siege machines.

Games Workshop youtube page has a lot of great video & painting guide.  Like wise if you check out the video where member of the studio talk about the now current painted, there lot cool models/there own armies.

 

With the Night Lord Terror squad Helmets.  Just think they look cool :D & as a kid one of my main movies to watch was Willow, just the evil army commander look cool.  Nothing against the era part, kept some of them on trophies in my IW force - Dreadnought w/Plasma Cannon from Mayhem pack :D  It just to show there not World Eater Berzerker.  Iron Warriors who gone done sort of a Death Company sort way/Urik Hai Berzerker from the LotR Movies.

That way if finial get around to a World Eater army, mean there something look/theme wise for them.

 

Right now just trying get idea, I think once my FW order arrive that'll help me out a bit more & how I want the unit to look.

[Biohazard]

Looking forward to seeing you tackle some Berzerkers mate.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Looking forward to seeing you tackle some Berzerkers mate.

 

Hopeful have somthing sorted as soon as my FW order arrive & talk to a few friends during the weekend.  Just that way while adding lot cool models to my own army & a lot in persoanl life/busy just not been able to focuse as much.  But having the week off help out just get my head clear & work out idea.

Also going to pick up the new Khârn novel due out on Saturday, it sound good from what I've heard.

 

I also got my FW order place.  Went from Brass etching to adding in the World Eater & Night Lord Terror squad upgread pack.  Talk to the memeber of staff for idea.

 

Update

 

I'm half way though my week off & just been spend Tuesday, Wed & a bit of today getting the command Predator tank built.  It mainly been the plasticard work that took a little time.  But here how the model looking so far :D

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC09514_zpsjt3aejye.jpg

 

I just need the Heavy Bolter from the Land Raider kit & useing the camera part from the Crusader kit to make the tank stand out a little bit.  In friendly games I might ask my friends if I'm going unbound if it alright for me to roll on the warlord trait for this tank when I go Mech heavy.

As well as adding Berzerker.  I'm going to try add a Bloodcrusher Lord - Part this is the 2nd ed era model one I'll rememeber & I saw a really cool converted one that a wargaming show last year that the bring & buy (shame never got photos).  Also think it be somthing pretty cool to do.  It would also give me some great parts to use for the Berzerker unit as well like the mini shield.  As always just add cool new model.

 

Also due to a few event going 1875pts, I've usely game that 1500pts to 1850pts, so this give me some great extra point.  I will need to get around & add a new Terminator arm with Chainfist.  Just it allow me to add this to the Terminator, it'll look cool model wise & help in the event I come across any Lord of Wars chose in combat.

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Quick update.

Just need to plan out there Rhino transport now :D

[Kizzdougs]

That Berzerker is looking great! Nice use of the Skullreaper axe, it fits perfectly. The NL helmet is another great touch. I'd never have thought of using a NL helmet for Berzerkers, but it works brilliantly :tu:

[Son of Carnelian]

Terrifying. Love it!

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks for the comments.  I should hopeful have another two Khorne Berzerker build this weekend & also hopeful get the parts to help finish building the squad as my Easter day/own hobby time.
I'm going to pick up the Daemon-kin supplement this weekend as well just check out the background & see what art work there & general just get lot of idea's :D

 

I really like how this model turn out & looking forward trying then in a few games.  Going to go for 8 Berzerker, the Champion will have Power Fist, few Plasma Pistol in the unit & then Rhino with Dire Caster.  Just trying to work out how I want the Rhino to look, still have the extra armour plate that have been converted on all my tanks in this army.  Just work out how make it more Khorne, possible just ton of skull & more trophies :D

[Biohazard]

Great looking berzerker can't wait to see the complete unit. Also interested to see your take on the rhino.

Thanks Biohazard

 

Little dely on update due to cable for my lap top chose to stop working during the week there.  Along with a few other things, this has not been the great week of 2015 for me.

 

Bought this lot yesterday to make put me in a good mood

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC09574_zpsegv5baz2.jpg

 

+ Daemon-kin codex.  As said before, Chaos is my main force.  The one I've been collecting since 1996 just short few week into the hobby.  I'm aim to try pick up the supplament each time there release & if there any painting guide in the future.  Also to check out background & art work.

+ White Dwarf.  I'm going to add Dark Mechanicus allies to my Iron Warriors.  Not quite sure what I want to do conversion wise.  A lot of it waiting until I see the spure.  Right now I've been looking that the Dark Eldar model range - Wracks & the plastic Storm trooper from guard range.  But right now wait until I pick up the mechanicus box set on Saturday.  I've got Easter Sunday off & going to aim get some hobby done, so most like going to try convert the Dark Mechanicus during then.

+ Chaos Marines:  For Berzerker.

 

Command Predators

 

I've spend the week just there painting the Predator tank I'd been building during my week off.

I'll be getting the two Berzerker painted up this week.  Not quite sure how I want the Champion to look so far other than use the art work from Bloodquest comic

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/Iron%20Warriors/DSC08040_zps41ec9520.jpg

 

Then I'm going to pick up the new Mechanicus models on Saturday, along with any other box set for conversion.  I'm also going to pick up the brand new Crusade case, I was check out the new case on Saturday from my local store & they look cool.  It'll be nice to be able to carry a few extra units like my Vindicator, Bikers, Dreadnought & other Breacher squad I converted up last year for Rapid Fire.

 

Also still need to get around to converting a Terminator with Combi Plasma & Chainfist.  Join Iron Captain Narach Delau, Sorcerer Nârik Gharrok, Herald of the 5th Grand Company & Terminator squad: Proeliator led by Champion Sevatar Rauth.

Also order the brand new Crusade case as it look cool.  As well as carry my standard 1500pts force of Iron Warriors.  I'm hope to get - Iron Havocs+Rhino, second Breacher Siege unit+Rhino, Biker, Rapier Weapons Battery, Vindcator & Mayhem formation.

I've also got Imperial Armour 13: Lost & the Damned arrive any time soon along with the Iron Warriors rhino part for my Berzerker transport from Forge World.

Saturday I'm going to pick up a box set of Mechanicus model as well & spending Easter Day building these models to join the 5th Grand Company.  Right now I'm thinking going 50/50 with the box set for both unit of troops.

[Daemon2027]

The command tank is looking great and so are the bezerker. Any thoughts on how you will do the Mechanicus models?

[Midnightmare]

Nice conversion on the pred, looks well (impressive weathering).  Your 'Zerks are pure win too mate, they are really well done; you have captured their 'feel' down to a tee. Blood for the Blood God indeed :D

 

 

You will love IA 13 btw, such a cool, cool book and well worth the money 

[Iron-Daemon Forge]

Thanks for the comment :D

The Hydra - I've been looking that the Dark Eldar Wracks unit/models.  I was given a few sprue back in Decemeber & they had a lot cool parts.  Other thing to paint Chaos icon on the robes as well.  Hopeful this can led on to a stand alone army as well..........while also push to get my Chaos Guards finish (6 more tanks).

The Wrack models where something I though about adding to my Chaos Guards to be Dark Mechanicus a while back when the plastic models where release. 

 

Also just saw Games Workshop youtube account has a video painting guide for the new Mechanicus model.  There really help & would suggest people check out those video for lot great tips.

 

Midnight Runner - Yes I'm looking forward to the book & see background & art work.  Just after borrow a friend copy of the book & with me using the Rapier Weapon Battery in a lot my games recently.  Though never seen anything about given the crew member Veteran of the Long War.  Just a upgrade I like given to all Chaos Marines model in my Iron Warriors force other wise doesn't seem right & I've loss amount time that +1 Ld has help me in games after losing the Icon of Vengeance.  But I'm looking forward to getting the book.

 

Also just place another order to get the Iron Warriors MkII helmet today.  I saw Dantioch post over on his army log - Bitter Iron - A IVth Legion WIP over in Age of Darkness part of the forum & they look a lot cooler.

[Midnightmare]

I know what you mean with the VoLW, most seem to dislike it but I like due to both the leadership bonus and the amount of loyalist marine armies in our club. I have just bought the Daemonkin for use with my Black Legion/Hounds of Abaddon, the lack of Vets makes me sad as I like it for the thematics more than anything as well as the LD/hatred, buuuuuuut I think I should still be able to come up with something fluffy and fun combining CSM/IA13 and a cheeky Land Raider Spartan :D

The Wrack models where something I though about adding to my Chaos Guards to be Dark Mechanicus a while back when the plastic models where release.

 

Now that is a very good idea, one I may have to steal for my own Dark Mechanicus. Will look forward to seeing how your come out.

Just pick up the new leadbelcher spray which I will be trying out tomorrow.  Going to try this on a spare model & then it will be use for the Berzerker seen next to the spray.  The Berzerker be glue onto the base after I've spray the Leachbelcher colour

Right now I've just built this one model so I can get some painting done tomorrow.  I've added the spine from the Dark Eldar Wrack models & since the photo was taken, added green stuff to show the Obliterators virus & though be cool to rep the feel no pain rule.

I should be building a few more of the Mechanicus models tomorrow later afternoon.  As said the box set going to be 50/50 with the unit as they both look cool.

 

The box set has a lot of cool parts.  It also made me want to go back to my Chaos Guard & try push forward/get this army finish as a stand alone force & ally chose.  I just need three Leman Russ, I'm keeping a few part aside from the Mechanicus to use for the Leman Russ Tank Commander & his bodyguard Leman Russ.
Thinking about it, I've got a few Sentinal models that need to be built as well.  Try get that done tomorrow.

 

Terminator - Just getting parts together for the Terminator arm with Chainfist for my 1875pts list.  Join Lord Narach Delau, Sorcerer Nârik Gharrok, Herald of the 5th Grand Company & Terminator squad: Proeliator led by Champion Sevatar Rauth.

 

I'm waiting for my Forge World order to arrive with the Iron Warriors upgrade & I also need to get some really cool trophies.  My Terminators are a unit I'm well know for & have gain a lot of honour & glory in the games they've fought over the years since the Mk5 era of my Iron Warriors force.

Veteran Chaos Guards - I've been painting these three models over the past week on/off.  Going to get them finish tomorrow.  It was just to give my two unit of Veteran a chose for the army list I'd planned.  I've been mean to get my Chaos Guard army on the go for last few years.  Last year saw a sort push but it slow down.  I'm close.  I think I'm going to aim get the Chaos Guards finish up to 1850pts during the Summer as I need a few Leman Russ & a few other tanks.  It going to be a Tank Company, I like useing Mech heavy armies in games.
