I've still to paint the power axe which will be part of the third update, along with adding Chaos rune & some other detail I need to finish. He also going to be added to my army in tomorrow 2200pts game. Pretty much with no events right now, I'm taken the time to get diffrent point games just to allow me to use units I may not use in a while or still to try in a game. Two week ago saw me just rolling a d3 for the army list I would use. Last week was 2200pts (one force org chart) to allow me to try out the Black Legion supplment as allies.

First Claw also had there first game in Kill team. Really suprise that the game pretty short & good way if you not got time for the standard 1500pts & above point games.

Was going well, First Claw mange to take the Space Wolves down to one model, while I'd loss half my own, my models where ready to assault the lone Space Wolf in my turn.......... only to fail my Ld & ment I loss the game..............
But I did enjoy useing First claw in the game & that for once I mange to roll a lot of high dice rolls...... well apart from the Ld :( But great game & got a few more line up. Hopeful get Xarl converted during the weekend so he will be ready for then along with the Rhino :)

Call of Chaos


Cultist update 1

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07523_zps3da79ce2.jpg

 

I was orignaly going to make the unit arm with Close Combat weapon, but struggle to find the parts to convert the models. But it does allow me even more models if I want to go ahead & use the Imperial Guard army as I still plan on a Chaos guard army in the future & more so after seen Damien Pedley's Steel Legion army that on display that Warhammer World (see facebook page).

 

I should be getting the other models next week when I have some money.

 

First Claw Rhino

I just started painting the Rhino yesterday, while I was also painting up Ferrus Primarch of the X Legion for a friend (family give him this as his Christmas present).
I still got a lot to add & a lot of battle damnge to do. Right now I'm going to also try some of the dry paints over the Typhus Corrosion.

 

I've still to get Xarl converted. I know I got a Seth model kicking about, so have a look for that during the Christmas holidays. As I'm still find lots in boxies since moving house. During the week there I found a lot of Limited ed GW models I though I'd loss & also my 2nd ed Chaos Dreadnought that been in my IW army since they started back in 2001. The Metal Chaos Dreadnought current being painted & should be in a future update.
Also found a Baneblade as well that I bought back in 2007. Going to end up painting this for my Iron Warriors, other wise it never going to get painted.

 

Finish update for my Warpsmith

I use the other camera that I'd use for the Champion model for the Warhammer World brotherhood of the brush. I've really enjoy converting the model & he done pretty well in my game last week where he was in combat with Vulken, but was taken out in return by the Salamander Captain.

 

With Saturday being the start of my two week holiday during the Christmas time. I'm going to be converting my new Dark Apstole (Forge-Chaplain) conversion during the weekend & also get my Dreadnought ready for painting on the 24th Decemeber. I'm still working out idea for the Warpsmith theme for the new Dreadnought.

 

I'm also going to convert some of the Fallen Angels models during the weekend

This maybe be a bit off topic, but where did you get a copy of Tallarn Executioner? Was that a limited run or a event release?

 

Aurelian was also a limited edition release, but is being rereleased soon, a year or so later. Give it time. GW are really, really making you pay if you want to stay on top of the HH.

 

Liking the Kroot rifle barels on the cultists. I may have to steal that.

Thanks for the comments

As said there by Xenith, it should be release in a few years time.  It happen with the Word Bearer novel & the Salamander novel.  I would not really recommend buying the novel on ebay if your ok to wait a few years.

 

 

That warpsmith with shield is great! I like how the thinner arms work to look faster and more deadly, a knife as opposed to a forklift.

 

Thanks, just wanted the parts to be a bit more, a part of him.  Bit like the Iron Hands will keep chop them selfs & adding bionics.  I see a Warpsmith will always be changing them selfs to fit more with the Dark Machine gods.

Thanks.  Just with the Kroots part it was just help try make the guns a bit diffrent from standard lasguns, try make it there home world version of a Autogun.  Also due to the amount of kroot I bought for parts, left over now given to someone that my club so they can start a kroot force.

 

On a side note, I been enjoy Kill team games & thinking of converting up something really cool for a Iron Warriors style kill team.  See them as those who'll scout ahead of my main Iron Warriors force, ether lay traps, mine's.  Bit like Honsou small company during Storm of Iron.

I think this will be great for the conversion side, try rep those specil rule you can give some of the memebers of the squad.

Call of Chaos - Dark Apostle update 1 & Dreadnought update 2

 

Just get a quick update for the Call of Chaos, before Christmas & when I'll be drawn into Assassin's Creed IV for the PS3

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07538_zpse62d7797.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07539_zps6626fc11.jpg

 

I was orignaly hoping on theme the Dreadnought around the Warpsmith. But due to time & money, ment I had to make due. However this will give me even more time to plan out the conversion for the future Warpsmith Dreadnought & hopeful my friends rememeber to bring some spure to let me see kits like the Ork Killer kans. Same with the left arm, this was due to lack of money. But I'll be getting the left arm sorted over the holidays.

 

Also it mean adding more cool models to my Iron Warriors :D

I'm looking forward to painting the new Iron Warrior Dreadnought tomorrow. I said before I like to have the 23rd & 24th Decemeber toward my own hobby/models.

 

Yesterday I spent some time coverting up another Dark Apostle (Forge Chaplain) to my Iron Warriors force

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07543_zps51a041fa.jpg

 

He will also be painted tomorrow along with the Dreadnought.

 

I spent yesterday painting the 2nd ed Metal Chaos Dreadnought model. The model sat paint strip for a good few years, as said orignaly being part of my Iron Warriors when I started them around this time back in 2001

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07535_zps9f0fbe36.jpg

 

Aim to get this Dreadnought finish later in during the Christmas holidays.

 

Also look like Forge World will be release somthing really cool - The Legion Basilisk

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/LEGION_BASILISK.html#.UrhwhmD5v84.facebook

 

I will be adding this to my Iron Warriors & it will be converted to tie in with the current Chaos look. Already got a lot of idea for this, just need to see what money I get during the Christmas holidays. Fail that, I am down in Nottingham for Throne of Skulls March & can always pick up this great model.

 

Also with the release of the new Kill team rules during the weekend & enjoy my games with the Night Lords - Talos & First Claw. I'm going ahead & converting up a Kill team for my Iron Warriors. Want to have this unit sort of like the ARC troopers from Star Wars during the Clone Wars era & looking that Azog & the Gundabad orcs from the hobbit. Or think of it like Honsou when he led his company in Storm of Iron, scouting out the Fortress along with a memeber from Forrix Company.
Right now the list for my Kill team somthing like -

  • Champion Azog Vannuk w/Power Weapon
  • Chosen Golg Valax w/Melta, Ignore Cover (Weapon Specialist)
  • Chosen w/Autocannon, Relentless (Indomitable)
  • Chosen w/Combi Flamer: Never really use one & though be pretty cool model wise.
  • Chosen w/Combi Plasma, Prefferred Enemy (Gurilla)
  • Rhino w/Extra armour
  • Total 200pts

Unit use for scouting ahead & marking out target or to take out bunker, etc....

 

I should be starting these right after the Call of Chaos Challenge is finish. I'd like to try go to a Kill team event down in Warhammer World in Nottingham that some stage next year.

IP you paint and convert very quickly and its astonishing how well you paint too considering how long it takes you. Any progress on Xarl?

 

 

Thanks. 

I'd say building models it eh longest to be honesty, I think the Dark Apostle taken me two hour, getting everthing clean up & trying to not drop bits onto the floor (bane of my life).  But when it come to converting a squad I try to save time by having all the parts all together for that model & have them all in those small bags.

 

Xarl, nothing so far.  However it look like the boxies that I think the Seth model are free (also look like I've avoid the house tidy up as well), so I'll be searching though them in a moment, if I find Seth aim to start the conversion as soon as possible & try get him posted as soon as possible :D

Thanks for the heads up about the book, I guess patience will have to be my virtue...

 

Yes it better to wait now until it release.  Both past Heresy novel where release this year, I'd rather wait than pay high price over on ebay.

 

IW note -

 

Needless to say I'm really happy to see the return of Cypher.  Just I've always like the background behind the Fallen Angels & Cypher since I started the hobby, it more 3rd ed we saw a bit more on them during the same time as the release of the Plastic Khorne Bezerkers many year ago.

 

http://www.blacklibrary.com/games-workshop-digital-editions/Cypher.html

 

Though also a little gutted as I don't have a Ipad or a kindle (sp?) :sad.:  If anything I'm hoping they will release this in book fourm in the near future as I preffer having books to be honsty. 

I was also planning on converting some Fallen Angels, so really looking forward even more so to getting this unit built before I spend the rest of the afternoon on the PS3 & then DrWho christmas specil.

With some searching i wouldnt be suprised you can find Cyphers new rules somewhere on the web, already found Be'lakor (not giving it to anyone, you can search yourself).

 

 

Topic note: not a fan of the blood and gore on that Tech guy, seems out of place if you ask me.

Call of Chaos update

 

I've had to take the photos from the painting statsion

 

Fallen Angels

 

I always like the background story on the Fallen Angels both with codex Chaos Marines, what been said in the White Dwarf & the Fallen Angels Commander in Bloodquest. Also White Dwarf that had a mission for the Dark Angels & Chaos Marine player to pick in WD 233.

Also year ago when 3rd ed Chaos Marines codex was release when I was a kid, I rememeber a lot of great armies that always inspired me. One was the Thasound Sons that led to me converting Obliterators, the other was a Fallen Angels army with a Nurgle theme to it useing the old metal Dark Angels veterans robe models, when 3rd ed Codex Dark Angels where release.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07552_zpsf1b4eb88.jpg

 

The Melta arm Fallen Angel was shown a while back. But since then I've re-painted the robes as I was not keen on the orignaly way & just after painting the Cypher conversion I'd found a way that suited my painting style.

Right now the robes have been painted as I though they would be the longest to paint & waiting on drying time with the wash & paints

 

I'm also working on some scenic base which will be added later on in the next few days.

 

Forge Chaplain

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07557_zps7fe9fd1a.jpg

 

The platic part from the Chaplain (Dark Vengance box game) going to be added to the Forge Chaplain model tomorrow once I got it undercaoted & then it just add a bit of green stuff.

 

Rest of the Call of Chaos models

 

- Xarl: I've given up searching for the Seth (metal) model & just chosen to mail order a new Seth model which should arrive on Saturday. So I'll get Xarl converted then.

 

- Dreadnought: Just place the order for the Dreadnought CCW arm from Forge World. Just I'm not to keen on the chainsword type arm that you get with the Chaos Dreadnought.
That should arrive next week.

 

I got until next Wed to get everthing finish for the Call of Chaos. Then after that, beside also adding to my second Ravenwing army, which is now 1500pts fully painted & getting my Iron Hands army (third version?) started. I'll be adding some new models for Throne of Skulls March & also look into a Terminators list I commented a few updates ago, so this will give me the chose & diffrent weapons, but also just look cool gaming wise. Alway like the idea in Storm of Iron with Forrix & his elite company, Honsou & his company useing scouting or doing mission that have no honour/glory & then Kroeger & his company who are slowy going down the path of Khorne.

 

None call of chaos

 

I just made a start on the Abaddon vs Loken duel I got from Rapid Fire tournament back in October, spend 8pm-9pm just there

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07554_zpsb1d3a267.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07555_zps0163645e.jpg

 

I should hopeful have a update during the weekend with more Call of Chaos & also show the start of the Kill team, just right now gather all the bitz & only got the Combi Flamer model converted so I can get a few games on the go in the next few weeks.

Call of Chaos update

 

Once again had to take photos that the painting stastion. Any Marines bikes in the background are for my Mk2 Ravenwing army, it already that 1500pts, there going be part of a few new units to bring the army up to 1750pts.

 

Fallen Angels

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07563_zps3428fa72.jpg

 

Base where made a few moment the above photo was taken.

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07566_zps6aafd693.jpg

 

I will be getting the base undercaoted tomorrow & the Fallen Angels models glue onto them. I also pick up a box of Tactical Space Marines, which is going toward my Ravenwing army, but I'll be adding the ammo bags from the kit onto the Fallen Angels unit along with some extra bitz from the Grey Knights spure.

 

My mail order arrive today & allowed me to get Xarl converted for my Night Lords kill team

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07565_zps0b4928d2.jpg

 

I did try converting the bat wing helmet, useing the wings from the Grave Guard kit from the Vampire Count range. However it did not look right. So I think I will hold off & see if Forge World will release any upgread kits in the Horus Heresy range, so this will be somthing I will go back to in the future.

 

I also have the second half of the cultist unit built hopful by the end of tomorrow & also get the Chaos Icon cut out of plasticard for the First Claw Rhino so that can also be finish.

 

None call of chaos

 

I spent a bit of today adding some of the new Typhus Corrosion on the Iron Warriors Vindicators Ferrus Draco, not sure if it show in the photos?

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07567_zps977ba24d.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07570_zps25c23926.jpg

 

Just a while back I posted about useing the new Typhus Corrosion to give that more warp tainted look. I really like useing it. Just I though add that little bit of extra effect as I am planning on bring Ferrus Draco with me when I'm down in Warhammer World for Throne of Skulls March. That a lot of the events in Warhammer World, they hold a Legend painting comp, which allow people to (that least ToS 40k) enter into tanks, single & monster.
I also be enter the recent Warpsmith Damocles for the singles.


Also I'm thinking of adding both models to a 1650pts army list. Just one of my friends is planning on running there first 40k tournament by the end of this month, which will see 7 games over the two days & 1650pts.
I'm looking that my Throne of Skulls list, but with Damocles as my HQ chose & give him the buring brand & included Ferrus Draco, just allow me try diffrent thing in the army.

 

Finial. I recently pick up a box of Raptors after seen Hushrong recent conversion for IW Raptors

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285189-the-hounds-of-perturabo/

 

Just if you'd ask me in the past. I would stay away from Raptors & never even think of included them in my Iron Warriors or any Chaos army for that matter. It was just down to never like the metal models that where release though out the years.

But since the Raptors where release in plastic over a year ago, they look cool. There ton of great bitz & I enjoy useing them in a lot of conversion in my Iron Warriors force.

 

But I'm now looking that adding a unit of Raptors just because the plastic models are cool more than anything else.

 

Also with the release of Forge World Horus Heresy range, I've like the Destroyer unit

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/The_Horus_Heresy/Legiones_Astartes/Space_Marine_Legion_Army_List/LEGION_ELITES/Legion_Destroyer_Squad/LEGION_MK_IV_DESTROYER_SQUAD_WITH_JUMP_PACKS.html

 

I'll get around to building the models soon.

Seem the machine gods do not favour my PC & allow me to copy & paste onto these fourms.

 

For the Black - I've use "The Fang" (Shadow Grey in old colours) & if it models like the Fallen Angels I add "Russ Grey" for the finial highlight.

I've mange to get the wing sorted on Xarl model, just need to add a bit of green stuff to the base & add green stuff onto the chainsword to hide the Flesh Tearer/Imperial stuff :D

Call of Chaos - Finial update

 

Time for the finial updates for those units I put forward for the Call of Chaos

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/280738-call-of-chaos-vi/

 

Call of Chaos has always been great, seen other memeber brillaint conversion & painting. Also give yourself a deadline to get a new Chaos army started or adding some new units to a current force. For me it was to add a few units into my Iron Warriors force so I have them there & give me more chose when it come to gaming & events I attend.

 

For Call of Chaos, I chose to get the following done

 

- Warpsmith

- Sorcerer

- Dark Apostle

- 20 Cultist

- Talos & First Claw with Rhino

- 9 Fallen Angels

- IW Dreadnought

 

Fallen Angels

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07572_zps91fb5b82.jpg

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07573_zps5a3eff25.jpg

 

I'm really happy how the unit of Fallen Angels turn out in the end. I had always wanted to add a unit to my Iron Warriors since starting the current force back in 2011. I think I may posted a start of a unit a while back & also trying out a Cypher conversion, but I was never keen on those models & ended up putting them to one side.

 

But after converting & painting the new Cypher back in Sept, inspired by a brillaint Fallen Angels army from Throne of Skulls Septemeber. It give me new hope & want to give the unit of Fallen Angels another try.

 

Also one of the armies that always inspired me though out the years was back in 2000? Was always a really cool Fallen Angels army useing the old Metal Robe Dark Angels models & had a Nurgle theme to them. Along with my friend Thasound Sons force with the Obliterators conversion.

 

So after finish this unit, I really want to try get some games in. Going to see if my friend is still up for the 7000pts game with his Tau & Dark Angels allies & maybe make up a mission & somthing like the Fallen & Cypher worth d3+1 Vpts if he taken them out in Close combat by a DA unit?

 

Talos & First Claw

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07574_zps727bd8b9.jpg

 

Sorry just notice the above photo was blurry :(

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07575_zps95b1edc2.jpg

 

I built this unit with Kill team on the rise & because I enjoy the Night Lord novels by Aaron along with the Iron Warriors novels by Graham McNeill.

I though it would be great & somthing a little diffrent. The aim with this unit was to try some of the Games Workshop effect paints. For exsample the crack earth paint has been brillaint & somthing I will try on a future army. Then trying out the GW blood paint & diffrent way for diffrent effects, base this from Void Stalker when Talos & the Night Lords are going though a Imperial city & slaughter all before them.

 

Dark Apostle, Warpsmith - Damocles, Sorcerer

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07576_zpsa06a10ea.jpg

 

I built these models so I had more chose when it came to gaming & for diffrent events I attend. For exsample I got a tournament that the end of this month & I want to try useing Warpsmith Damocles along with Ferrus Draco the Vindicator. Just so it somthing a little diffrent gaming wise :D

 

IW Dreadnought

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07577_zps430de823.jpg

 

I've just always like the Forge World Iron Warriors Dreadnought. Sadily I never got the Warpsmith theme done due to time & money. But that will be somthing I will plan in the future & give me a great excuse to buy, convert & paint some new models for my Iron Warriors :D

 

20 Cultist

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07578_zps9f4f532f.jpg

 

I was orignaly going to have them arm with Close Combat weapons, but just trying to find a way to do that & still fit in with the theme of Guard who join Chaos.
I've also added one of the Cultist model from the box game due to just liking that model & to break thing up.

 

The whole lot together

 

http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee412/JFmodel/Iron%20Warriors/DSC07579_zpsa6f831a8.jpg

 

Next for the Iron Warriors

 

I'm always adding new models to my Iron Warriors force ether for a event/tournament, due to thinking how cool a model is & want to add it to my force.


So the next few things I got planned in the near future,

 

- Raptors: I bought a box set last week. Right now I'm currently looking that the Forge World Destroyer units for idea toward conversion

 

- Kill team: I'm still gather parts before I get my IW Kill team force done. After playing a few games & seen the new rules, I want to try get more games of Kill team in the future & would also like to attend a Kill team event in Warhammer World in the near future. Also I'm taken Chose so I got a bit more chose on the conversion side of things.

 

- Throne of Skulls March: There a few new models I want to get converted for the event.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD BLOOD!

 

Holy crap First Claw looks like they literally tried on the flayed skins of everyone in the hab-block they just purged to try and make power armor sized "people suits" and then just gave up because Xarl wouldn't stand still and take it take it seriously.

 

Great work as always!
