Iron Warriors 5th Grand Company - Army log


Recommended Posts

Thanks for the comment

 

Good to see this topic still alive and kicking. Hope all is well IP!

 

Great to see you posting again Iron Warrior w/Servo Arm.  Last time I rememeber your just converted a Warsmith for your Iron Warriors for Call of Chaos useing the Miniatour model with Servo arm's?

 

Well - My Iron Warriors are my favorite army.  Chaos is my favorite faction in the Games Workshop hobby.  End of the day I'm not keen on sort of Eldar Warp Spider spam list or Screamer Council list, just don't find then enjoyable to game against & will refuse games against them.  I just collect armies & add units I think I'll enjoy gaming, converting & painting more than anything else. 

 

Excellent work!

I particularly like the trophies on the vindicators, and especially the Knight ones. :thumbsup:

 

Thanks Kierdale.  I was really happy to gotten those Knight Trophy added, it somthing I've wanted to try add for past little while.  Just Throne of Skulls March 2014 was first time I ever battle Knights.  From what I rememeber

  • Knight with the Blood Angels:  It try charging (3 inch away) & failed, with my lone melta IW making the overwatch & cause 3 hull points.  They re-try that during the following turn, again fail the charge & lossing a further two hull points from that lone melta arm IW.
  • Knight with the Space Wolves:  Just my Lord survive combat vs a Knight for four rounds as it kept fail it Strength D attacks, then any stomps where just the S6 Ap4 once, just came across like Forrix vs the Warhound titan in Storm of Iron Novel & that was brought up by my oppent as well.

Update

 

Just spent the weekend that my local wargaming club yearly tournament.  Aim for this year was to take Traitor Hate & just try out the formation as I've never really use them before.  Originally I was also going to use the Vindicators in a allies detachment & have them in one squad, again wanting to use a new update & I've been wanting to add a third Vindicator to my Iron Warriors for a little while know we'd get Chaos tanks in squads in the near future.   While I did enjoy useing the army during the weekend, I did miss useing 10 Chaos Marines squads, but it was really difficult to try get everything I wanted :sad.:  Unless it 3000pts :biggrin.:

 

It was also nice not to see a single Eldar Warp Spider list kicking about.  Just don't find that or Screamer Council Daemons any fun to game against & will flat out refuse games against.

 

But anyway - Here my force.  My Iron Warriors got second best army which I'm really happy with.  There was a lot of really cool armies on display & that what I prefer to see.  The Nurgle Chaos army (see below) that won over all best army was really cool with all conversion & painting.  Same with a Ravenwing force that got me thinking about trying find time to get my own Ravenwing force up to date as well as get some photos taken.
There also a really cool Tau army in white armour, inspired by the Games Workshop studio version, the person also have a really cool Khorne, Necrons & a few other armies in the past.

The third Daemon Prince incase of any boons.  He was just painted from 11am - 8.30pm on the Friday before the event, with the Water Effect still drying on the Saturday as I just arrive to the event.

As said I wanted to try out formation & with Warband I knew I wanted to get my unit of Bikers.  I want to try get more games with my Bike unit.  Again while it really great & I really enjoy useing the unit, I was gutted not to be able to get a unit of 10 Bikers in the list.  But as said I will get a 3000pt game arrange some point in the next few week or month.

Khârn - He wasn't part of the army list, just there to rep a object marker :biggrin.:  Re-painted the green parts since the model was last posted.

Again with the Warband formation it was nice take my Contemptor Dreadnought model.  Really enjoy useing him in my games.  Round 2 saw him survive against four turns of Plasma Cannons shots, combat vs 10 Sternguard (help with Oblits & Warpsmith), 2x units of Vanguards & a few Drop Pods, defending Object 1 in a Maelstorm mission where I had to hold that object that all cost.

Here the Nurgle Chaos army that won Best army overall which has a lot cool conversion & really nicely painted.

Ravenwing force.  Just all standard Ravenwing Bikers with there Grand Master? & Chaplain.  This army started in 2002 & I belive they have a full Ravenwing company now.  One unit allow about £200 worth of conversion with the older metal Dark Angels Robe models with Cypher converted up as the standard bearer.

Some photos my Marine oppent taken from our game.  So my Helbrute was just around here defended it against all odds.  While the Chapter Master try take on my Vindicator to the left with power fist........I made my 6+ Inv save thanks to Warpsmith been near by, I think you can maybe see bit of the Warpsmith to the right of the photo.

Bronn Tal becoming a Daemon Prince.  All us useing Chaos Marines during the weekend had a thing going on with who ever got the most Daemon Prince where the chosen of chaos.  The Nurgle army above got 6 Daemon Prince during the weekend, while I was second with 4 Daemon Prince, two in this game against Marines.

So was a fun weekend.  Next event the charity event ran by DWARF next month.  I'm still waiting on a rule pack to be posted, just so I know what can & can not be take more than anything else.  I might take the list I've just use that Rapid Fire there.  Or I might change it, as I've got a Predator to complete for Call of Chaos & that could give me a deadline to get that done.

 

As well as painting all my Call of Chaos vows.  I'm going to jump back to my Space Wolves force & finial get around to update them as they've waited for ever.  So going to finial get around & order some Forge World doors for four transport I need for my Long Fangs & Blood Claws units.

Though I'd get a quick update with my Call of Chaos vows & other stuff.

 

So first all I was really gutted to miss out on attending a local tournament last week.  This was due to be pretty badly ill for the past two week there.  I was really looking forward to the event.  But it really great to find out that the DWARF wargaming club rise £3700+ for charity which is really great & they've work really hard over the years taken Winter War from strength to strength & always run really great 40k tournament.

 

While I wasn't able to make the event.  I did mange to spend last weekend (after week not been able to do anything) painting up my fifth Predator.  I'm aim on making my Predator into squad of tanks thanks to the new Traitor Hate book, the 6th one will be added during the holidays next month

 

So I've just add weather powder to this Predator, hopeful get that done soon so it ready for it first game this week.

Thursday there mark 15 year of collecting Iron Warriors for me.  When I got all the bitz I needed from my mail order to convert Warsmith Abhorred Riddick who been leading the 5th Grand Company for a great length of time.  To this day, the Marine version of Warsmith Abhorred Riddick sit on display along side the current Mk6 version of my Iron Warriors, once seen on this log & will be one keeping.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/DSC00183_zpskpoyvdrw.jpg

 

End of the day IV Legion are my favorite force & once I've always trusted when going to events & games.  End of the day Chaos faction has always been main one because of converting, cool art work & great background & just the whole look each legion has.

 

So on to update

 

Just been out for the first time in two weeks since been ill & gone to my local Games Workshop store to be told that there a diorama comp next week & that it has to be on the bigger circle base.  I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do.  But when I got home the answer was right there, my Dreadclaw which I've just spent a bit of time today getting the base built up & sand on it so I can try undercoat it tomorrow.

This also help with my Call of Chaos deadline as well.  So get this dreadclaw undercoated & leadbelcher spray tomorrow so I can paint the model during the week.

 

Finial 10 Bloodletter I'm current painting.  So this make it 60 Bloodletter in all that been painted since March & now.  For my Daemonkin army, right now main focuse has been on the Daemon side going to use the Bloodoath formation where Daemon unit get destroyed arrive back on a 4+, then you've got all those Daemons for summon though blood points.  I just need to get another Daemon Battle force to complete this formation & 2x Soul Grinder.

Finial - today Games Workshop show some future release with the next battle for Fenris series.

 

Needless to say I'm really happy with the new Arhiman model.  He really cool, the metal version was release on the month when I just started the hobby 20 year ago.  He always look cool.  I'm going to get the new version just to paint, no other reason other than he cool & that good enough to get any model that the end of the day.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/ahri1-464x500_zpsz3qah3hs.jpg

 

Also really happy with the new Thasound Sons models.  I think Games Workshop done a really great job, there getting the time they need.  I'm really intrested to see why there 5x flamer in the unit more than anything else.

I'm also looking forward adding a few these as trophies base on my game vs Matt during Throne of Skulls April 2012.  He was a really great oppent, getting rematch that Throne of Skulls October 2012.  Shame I've not seen him since Nob 2012, he was really great person to talk to, each Throne of Skulls they attended they wanted to take one of the 9 Legion.

Again going buy a box these just to paint more than anything else.

Finial

 

With the release of the new Heresy box game.  I've always said if they release MkIII armour in plastic, then I'd collect my Iron Warriors for the Horus Heresy as a before army of my 5th Grand Company.  I've got a few models built so far, but still trying to think how I want to get the base done.  The rest will be built during my holidays.

Good update as ever bro, must admit your extra armour turned out really well on your predator :tu: painted it is a seamless adittion.

 

I like what you are doing with the pre-heresy dudes to, I remember Kraut Scientist doing something similar with his.

 

Knights looking great too, the Hades Cannons are a perfect fit for the gattlings to btw.

 

Good stuff :tu:

Good stuff :thumbsup:

 

Thanks Midnight runner.  Just always view Iron Warriors tanks as been more heavy & give up speed for extra armour plate, sort like there Fleet has more weapon/fire power while give up speed from Angels Exterminatus novel said.

 

I'm hoping to start building the Heresy models during the holidays.  There a few of us thinking running a campaign & then around this time next year arrange a bigger game.  It still in talking stage.  

 

With the Renegade Knight, just wanted to go for wargear that the Imperial Knight & the FW Chaos knight can't have & as always just give me different chose when it come down to gaming.  The hades autocannon fit really well with the gatling arm's.

 

 

Awesome new stuff. You're a real monster, IP! I'm looking forward to your Ahriman :wink:

Guess I'll need that guy, too. He has his own new ride and ready-for-use mind bullets in his left hand. Love him.

 

Love those B'letters!

 

I knew when the Thousand Sons where happing, you'd be looking forward to them.  You've not vowed any for Call of Chaos?  Or I'm hoping to see a lot them painted by yourself for ETL next year.  It been a while since your army log been updated.

 

Yes I'm really enjoy painting the Bloodletter, always like the models since the plastic once where orignaly release.  They where orignaly been brought in because of a suggestion to one of my Throne of Skulls list from Midnight runner.  But since then I'm wanting to use the Daemon formation from the Warhammer World Blood oath book, also just happy to collect Daemons, was a bit put off them for a bit of time because of the Screamer Council army list that was kicking about the local tournament scene.  As said it just somthing I don't enjoy gaming against & was one of the first list I refuse to game against no matter who it was & that was followed by Warp Spider spam & now deathstar.  It just not how I'm wanting to spend my gaming time & just don't enjoy gaming against those list.

 

Anyway

 

Though get a quick update

 

So I'm really looking forward to the Traitor Legion supplement release in two week time.  But never really needed a excuse to keep adding to my Iron Warriors other than to add models I enjoy converting, painting & gaming with.  Here a few recent stuff I've been painting during the week.

After spend a few days painting, the Dreadclaw now fully painted. I've also got the two new models finish for Breacher Siege squad Thanatos Negaera led by Champion Dargron Valicar, fully painted & ready for gaming. I'm still waiting on a few parts to arrive so I can get the other three Battle Brother models built for this squad.

 

Also before I forget, I've use FW soot weather powder & Chaos Black spray (arm length) to try give the Dreadclaw a burnt look & somthing I've been trying out on other Drop Pods I've painted for friends.

 

Like wise though I show my Iron Havoc theme unit of Havocs after using them in a game recently along side there Rhino transport with Havoc Launcher. I think after that game I want to try get a few more Rhinos in the near future with Havoc Launcher.

Update

 

Just though I'd quickly show my completed vows for Call of Chaos.  While mange to get all my models finish for the deadline, I still need to go back & add few stuff like weather powder & blood for the blood god.  This was just down to not been able to varnish models until near the deadline with the weather & not wanting my models to get that frost effect on them.

 

So since I am on my Christmas holidays, I'm going to try set a day or two aside for getting all that done.

But here the vows

 

Khârn - One of my favorite character in the 40k background & really happy when he got a brand new plastic version.

As said the Warhammer World display been a big help with idea toward any Chaos models.  I wanted to make my Mark of Khorne bit diffrent just to try show my warband.  But like Warhammer World, just use a stamp from sponge onto the hull.

I also recently got another Bloodthister model.  But this time I'm planning on converting the Bloodthister into a Daemon prince & try model some of the new Iron Warrior relics.  I've got a few idea how I want this model to end up.  Ether way I'm looking forward to getting the Bloodthister model made into a Daemon prince.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00278_zpshwknhznb.jpg

 

Again this has been inspired by the really cool Nurgle Daemon prince from the White Dwarf/Warhammer vision army of the month early in the year

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00195_zpsmgiyoa95.jpg

 

Also I'm really like the new Traitor Legion supplament.  I'm looking forward to try out a few diffrent stuff that next year Throne of Skulls event that Warhammer World.

I'm am gutted I loss Mark of Khorne & Axe of Blind Fury on Lord Narach, but I like the new Siegebreaker Mace relic we get.  So I'm ether going to use the Mace from classic model or I use the hammer from the Varanguard Knight?

The Church of the Lost Martyrs has risen.  A firebrand sect of the Imperial Creed, they preach that mankind has sinned, and is thus not worthy of The Emperor’s light and grace. Worship at this church is one of toil and hardship, for    sinners must atone for their transgressions. Led by Cardinal Ramaldus, the Church of the Lost      Martyrs herald the end of times. They preach that mankind must fight for its survival, and in doing so, they will redeem themselves.   This is what they preach.  This is not what they believe. They believe far worse.  The Church of the Lost Martyrs and its followers speak of a great event on the horizon. For the 13th time, all will be baptised in fire.                  

 

Enlightenment and redemption will be found at the end of the Crusade, and all who wish forgiveness must heed the call.  

 

Such rhetoric is opposed by all other Churches within the Boralis system, and violence has ensued. The Church of the Lost Martyrs has risen up and claimed Boralis II as their own.  Splinter factions are rising on other planets. The remaining Cardinals of the Boralis system have called for aid

Look like my Iron Warriors have there first event sorted for 2017, the 13th Black Crusade campaign weekend that Warhammer World - The Borialis Schism.  I'm looking forward to this, always like the 13th Black Crusade background & it has been a part of my Iron Warriors history from the world wide campaign many years ago. 

 

I'm still waiting to find out if multi army list are allowed.  I like that for Throne of Skulls, taken two diffrent army list.  Ether way I've got a rough idea what I want to take in my core list & one them this brand new Havoc unit.

Just built these two Iron Warriors between yesterday & today.  I've still got the Champion, 2x Autocannon & 5x Bolter arm Iron Warriors for this unit, as well as the Rhino as seen from my Christmas present - With the Rhino I'm waiting to see if FW bring back the Iron Warriors (Chaos) upgrade doors & front armour plate.

 

But here the two Autocannon Havoc who will get painted this week.  Want to make them bit diffrent from the Assault Cannon (count as Autocannon) version

I'm really looking forward converting the Champion for this unit.

 

Just got my White Dwarf during the week (subscriber) & really looking forward to the whole Gathering Storm.  As said above there, the 13th Black Crusade always been my favorite campaign & my Iron Warriors did take part in.

 

After a month, got issue 3 of Will of Iron which I've enjoy & gotten some idea for,

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00324_zpsrl1glh9j.jpg

 

With some Christmas money, I bought a Maulerfiend model for bitz toward my Daemon Prince conversion.  If I can get replacment engine's I can still get the fiend kit built, so maybe try get another Forge Fiend conversion done in the near future.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00325_zpssf6r6qrg.jpg

 

Also a quick mock up off a new Helbrute I'm converting up.  I don't have one with twin linked Autocannon.  In current games I've been useing my Contemptor Dreadnought.  It just some events like in Warhammer World allow Forge World.  So making the change so there no confusion & just allow me build new Dreadnought :biggrin.:

 

Going to use the Iron Warrior helmet from the Heresy range.

 

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00462_zpsdiuhalxw.jpg

 

I was thinking of maybe useing Leviathan Siege Dreadnought Storm Cannon arm to rep the Autocannon.  But unsure if that maybe a bit to big for this model other wise I was thinking useing the standard Contemptor Autocannon arm.  Just really gutted Forge World stop selling there Dreadnought for Chaos & stop doing them before the whole last chance sale where brought in as well :sad.:

 

https://www.forgewor...ht-Storm-Cannon

 

I've just been spending last week painting this really cool model.  He almost there, re-done highlight on the robe & going to try add transfer to him.  I think I am going to try & pick up all the special character for Chaos Marines when they get release in plastic.  I'm also thinking going back to the Thousand Son I painted for Call of Chaos back in 2015 with the new blues Games Workshop release last month, after painting Ahriman

Forgefiend.  I bought the kit a few week back useing part to convert up a Daemon Prince.  But thank to Bio he had some replacment part & sent them mean I could still build the Forgefiend.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00292_zpszbx7gx5h.jpg

 

I was orignaly just going to make this Iron Warrior a standard Bolter arm model for the unit of Havocs just show above in this post.  But while building the above unit, so making it 10 models, Champion, 4x Autocannon & rest of the squad arm with bolter.  While building the unit, though would be better to make another new Havoc squad using left over Autocannon part & find a lot of the heavy bolter from the Horus Heresy box set.

For the theme of the unit I'd like to try get across sort of them turn into Obliterators.  Sort of look I went for with a older version of Lord Narach when he use to be in Power Armour & had a Kai Gun back in 3.5 codex Chaos Marines.

 

So this model going to be promoted to Champion for this new squad.

Tau trophie base on Eddie Au-tau-bots.  Just one of the coolest Tau armies I've face, though it was with the Space Wolves.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/ToS%20Oct/DSC04033.jpg

 

Here what I'm going try for the new unit, as said base on a old conversion of Lord Narach that the time in 2004-2005?  Had to look though my older photobucket accounts to try find these photos

Here WIP of my new Autocannon arm Helbrute from a few week ago.  My IW brass etching arrive from Forge World, so going to try get some time & add them tomorrow.  Then it just sort out Autocannon arm for him, ether the one from the FW Siege Dreadnought (not sure the scale?) or one from the Contemptor set.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00177_zps0dygdhzq.jpg

 

Finial got the new Fall of Cadia book on the release day along side the new cards as well.  I've really enjoyed reading the background & I'm now looking forward when Chaos get there book & see what cool new models we will get if & when that happen.  While the cards them self, just trying them during the game on Thursday there, really great fun & somthing I will be useing in future games.  I believe the Necron lord became psychic with the smite power.  While we also ended up with Daemons, Bloodletter & Bloodthirster on the table.  I've got a 3000pt game in the next few days so I might ask my friend if he ok to use the new cards as well.

Oh man...Autocannon Havocs do something with me which I cannot understand. Just too awesome. :biggrin.: I think the only thing I'd find even more awesome would be a squad of Assault Cannon wielding guys just for the brrrrrrrt. :tongue.:

 

Already done it a few times with my first unit of Havocs I built back in 2012.  Then my Iron Havocs theme squad just a few year ago.  Then single models in my Iron Warriors squads.  They count as Autocannons in games, it just from design I saw of Devastators that was kicking about shown a unit of Devastator.

Thanks Castigator

 

As for the game - There always the Friday as Warhammer World open until 10pm....who know, could maybe event send a request to Warhammer TV for it be on Twitch?  Other wise, Warhammer World event do allow grudge match games.  We both just say to the event team & it get sorted ether round 4 or 5, depend the event?

 

It usely March/April & then Sept/Oct time I aim for Warhammer World event.

 

Beyound that, I'm not going to as many events as I use to.  Just as said before, not keen on deathstar, Warp spider spam, those type list.  It just not the way I want to enjoy the hobby.

 

It's been a while since I checked this thread. That's a very nice army (what is the knight armed with if I may ask?). The award is well-deserved. Looking forward to your remarks on the tournament.

 

Iron Skull Mask - Just quickly say it was a campaign weekend.  Each game been link & all theme around the launch of Abaddon Black Crusade.  Depend how your game went, you got diffrent set rule.  It was really cool.  All the details can be found here on the Warhammer World web site

https://warhammerworld.games-workshop.com/the-borialis-schism/

 

The Siege Knight has the Melta weapon.  Just like the idea that the sort of warp fuel would act like wild fire, see Game of Thrones during the battle for the black water where Stanis try to take King's Landing.

 

Update

 

Just get a quick post while I'm going though a ok phase, just like today pretty much spend recover as travel side & hope everything goes ok/anxiety take it toll.  So best part today been trying to get rid of a headache.

 

Anyway.  So during the weekend I went to my first campaign weekend event that Warhammer World - Boralis Schism campaign weekend.  Sum it up, Warhammer World event team always do a great job & the event are really great.  Also it that Warhammer World, best gaming venue & place all hobbiest should go to.

 

So here some photos

 

If you do wish to see more, I've posted some more over on my facebook page.  This just show some of the display from Warhammer World, more photos of my games

https://www.facebook.com/Iron-Daemon-Forge-180193015748679/

 

Though it would be fun to get this done with the Warhammer World store selling these post cards.

I've been really busy over the past few weeks with a lot going on.  But I'm on my holiday & now in my finial week.  However mange to keep with tradition.  When making my 1750pts army list, it seem Helbrute are not allowed Extra Armour in the current Codex Chaos.  Just somthing I've never really notice before.

 

So this just meant I had the points for that & a few point spare in the list in general.  So though I'd add a new Battle Brother to the recent unit of Havocs that where built after Christmas.  So he got built last weekend & painted last week.

I also spent time replace Lord Narach axe of blind fury with the new Iron Warrior relic - Siege breaker mace.  Useing the hammer from the Age of Sigmar Varanguard Knight set which was more suited to him.  Replace the cable on the arm to the Power Axe with cable from the Grey Knight Terminator arm.

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00032_zpsfe0hpmg8.jpg

 

Then the stuff I pick up for myself while I was that Warhammer World, just with the Forge World store been there.......... I joke with the staff how ever time I'm that Warhammer World, it really hard not to go into FW with out buy lot cool models even if you never plan it.

 

So this will be my second unit of Rapier Artillery, from Armour 13: Lost & the Damned.  All the blister have been open & all the resin models have been wash.  I've got Friday & Sunday set aside as days toward the hobby as there a back log of models I want to get built & undercaoted.  So they will be part of this as well.  Going to model the crew separate this time.

 

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00033_zpsnjtwt38n.jpg

 

Our mission from the event, this photo was taken after day 1.  Each one was cool, they had set thing depending how your last game went & extra rules.  My round 4 oppent give me the mission for the Imperial side which is really cool so I can ether use them in games that my club or maybe try sort link games with a few friends do a mini campaign.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00410_zpsryiksvgp.jpg

 

The box that all player go, icon where different depend what side you join.  I was the first Chaos player :biggrin.:  So this included some dice which acted as faith point, allow you to make re-rolls during the game, the first mission & bit of background on why this was all happing.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00408_zpsatigj1oe.jpg

 

Then some photos of my games.

 

Game 5 vs Guard, the end time mission, when it was all out war!!!

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00602_zpsx0lw77q5.jpg

 

Turn 4, Lord Narach just turn into a Daemon Prince which I felt was really cool thing to happen & fitting.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00619_zpsrqqnmysz.jpg

 

Round 1, planet fall against Imperial Fist.  Was really suprise to get this really cool table.  This was the table I got a 3000pt game back in Sept during my birthday.  Warhammer World do a lot really great work on gaming table from standard to theme once like this & you can book them for your games.

 

As always, it remind me I need to get around & make my own gaming table as I'd like to try get more games.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00139_zpsdh8jbfpz.jpg

 

Game 3, Saint.  This is where the Imperial side had to pick a character who became a Saint.  Chaos where to take them out.  If they where slay they became a object.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00353_zps4ulmyr9s.jpg

 

Round 4 against the Eldar.

 

It has been a while since I have fought Eldar.  This game reminded me why Eldar where a army I'd look forward to game against that events.

Sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing! I heard of such campaigns for 30k, but I never heard of such campaigns for 40k before. The idea with the wildfire is really cool. I´m a big fan of GoT myself. I thought he might have two cc arms and that the big barrels were some FW artillery thing I hadn´t heard of.

Update

 

Just a few things I've been building & painting during March.  My camera I've been useing for a LOT of the update is current not working & getting fix :(  So I've been trying out my new camera & still getting use to it.  So not sure how photo will look until there posted.

 

So first up, here a new Obliterator I've just finish painting today.  With Obliterator become troop chose for the Iron Warriors, I'm looking added a few more as one list I'd like to try would be them, support by the Terminator formation, Mayhem Helbrute formation & point permitting maybe ally some Black Legion Terminators.

Also I'm needing to add a few Obliterator to my current squads.

WIP version of the Obliterator

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/P1060724_zpscqwb8pzl.jpg

 

Then here the unit of Rapier Artillery that I bought during the Warhammer World Campaign event last month.  I just need to add Black soot weather powder & that should be the unit all finish.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/P1070021_zpsmrrbzlny.jpg

 

Then a few thing that are waiting to get built

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/P1060741_zpsghi8pdlo.jpg

 

So that me now got two unit of 3 Predators.  I'm going to spend tomorrow getting all the plasticard armour plate cut out tomorrow & try build the Predator on Monday.
I'm going add a few more Predators soon as well, with ETL & I'm wanting to add more Forge World units.  I'm going to look into adding a few Relic Predators to my 5th Grand Company & try make them a bit more daemonic?

 

Then pick this lot up today.  Magnus the red since it feature Iron Warriors in the story :biggrin.:  The Chaos Marines are going toward a whole new unit for Shadow War: Armageddon.

 

It wired.  I'm not keen on small point games.  However Kill team always been different for me.

 

Also after finish re-reading Storm of Iron few week ago.  I still rememeber Honsou second in command was sent with Chaos Guards to hunt down Hawk a lone surviving Imperial Guard from there originally scouting mission.

I think in the team, useing the PDF that on the Games Workshop web site.  I've got 3x Chaos Marines, one Champion, one standard & one Heavy weapon.  While rest of the team see 3x Cultist.  Then some diffrent wargear & equipment.  I'll hopeful pick up the box set next week so I can get a better look that the rules.

 

I might theme the models around a infiltrating unit I use to have in my Iron Warriors back in 2004 & first time I started to use some Kroot parts (bags, knife you see on some models currently).  Beyond that see the rule book to help toward idea for theme.

 

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/P1070010_zpsustma4gn.jpg

 

Warhammer community & Warhammer TV where kind to preview some cool new models for the forth coming Death Guards release.  I'm really LOOKING forward to this release.  The Nurgle Marines, from what I've seen so far.  There everything I've wanted for the models.  There cool.

Pretty much I'm going to start my second Death Guard force.  I use to have a force back in 2006.  But since seen Maxime Pastourel Nurgle force in the White Dwarf/Vision as well as that the Warhammer 40k open day 2015, it has made me think of collecting them once more.

I'm not quite sure what I will be doing right now.  A lot of it waiting to see what the spure are like.

 

But right now my long term plan a Black Crusade force.  Pretty much give me chose ally & stand alone armies.  So it

 

  • Iron Warriors, the main force.  With them are the Knights, Chaos Guards & Dark Mechanicus (I WILL finish them, going try this year).
  • World Eater/Daemonkin.  Theme around the Warhammer World display on Angelus Prime.  A under strength warband seeking help.  Fought with my Iron Warriors during the Crusade, Heresy, Terra, Legion Wars, etc... had oath to help if the other need help
  • Black Legion.  Always want to bring back my Black Legion.  Sent by Abaddon to make sure mission are done in his name.  There not trusted
  • Red Corsair.  Because of Gathering Storm III, we don't really see that many Red Corsair armies & there a lot hobby wise.  Theme wise, there own goals & agenda.
  • Nurgle/Death Guards.  Holy vision from Nurgle with all that going on.  This warband vision led them to link up with my Iron Warriors.
  • Night Lords.  I'm about to re-read ADB Night Lord Novels, right now I've though of building a few killteam, like a unit of Biker.  But wouldn't mind adding a few other models.

But lot this is rely on new Chaos Marines models.

Update

 

So here what been happen with the Iron Warriors 5th Grand Company over April.

 

I had my last 7th ed event on April 15th.  It was really great, really enjoyed all three games (just year before I only had one great, one ok & one I'd rather forget).  Where I fought Mechanicus, Space Wolves (Cultist for the win!! They overwatch & took out a Space Wolf Lord on Thunder Wolf!!!!) & finial Crimson Fist.  As said all games where great, remind me what 40k all about & why I like going to event. 

I was happy to get this.  Myself & one other hobbiest from the event got favorite opponent votes (can only vote for one out of the three games), which was really cool

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/P1070243_zpse3s6nwkm.jpg

 

Then here my 6th Predator.  Orignaly I was going to take this to the event.  But last moment I wanted to use my Vindicators as a squad as it somthing I've not really try to much off in my games.

 

But just added the new Predator allow me two squad of three.  I'm going to look into adding Relic Predators in the near future - Call of Chaos?  Try make them a bit more daemonic.

I also got the limited ed Iron Warrior novel from Black Library a few week ago.  Sadly not had the time to read Hammer of Olympia quite yet :sad.:  But things should settle down in personal life next week & when I've got a few days off.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/18058199_294381604329819_6829706806953006167_n_zpsczoyriie.jpg

Then here my Iron Warriors squad for Shadow Wars: Armageddon.  There a campaign starting this week, which I want to take part & I'm really looking forward to getting games.
This is theme on a old squad I use to have during 2004/2005 era of my Iron Warriors, back when squad could take Veteran skills.

 

So I'm looking forward getting some games & building up there theme & story.  There more photos over on my main topic over in the Forge part of the B&C forum

http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/242006-iron-warriors-5th-grand-company-re-born-army-log/page-53?do=findComment&comment=4732179

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/P1080059_zpsdkoy4arx.jpg

 

So this arrive in the post today.  I was really gutted when Forge World stop selling the Chaos Dreadnought.  There really cool & if I knew this, I would have pick up a few & most of all diffrent weapons sets.

 

'm going to possible paint strip the model.  Just I'm unsure how other work with resin.  For me, after washing the model & building them.  I tend to spray varnish (before undercaoting) as this help key on the paint & undercaot to the model.  Then once it is fully painted, varnish again.  I've notice a few part of paint chip away already on the model.

 

Also it because I want to cut away some icon & add brass etching.

 

Note - If anyone got any suggestion for paint stripping Resin, please let me know.

 

Plans for the model - I'm wanting to add jaws to the model, which has already been seen on a few of my Iron Warriors.  The recent Shadow War force as a exsample of this.  Though it would be cool.

Trophie wise, I'm going to add new updated trophies.  They will rep the once he has currently.  So there will be a Dark Angel, Imperial Fist & Black Legion.

Also get new base sorted.  For the arm.  I'm going to keep the Plasma Cannon.  But I might use the Ironclad Dreadnought siege arm.  I might also add servo arm from the Iron Hands, Iron Father from the Horus Heresy.  Then there few part from Age of Sigmar models I might use toward the conversion

Looking forward to seeing what you do with that Dread, I love them old guys :thumbsup: Never stripped a resin model though sorry, so unsure what is for the best?

 

Dark Mech looking good dude :cool.:

 

Thanks Midnight Runner.

 

I'm hoping on spending Thursday try get the Dreadnought sorted.  One of my friends has spare a few magnets to try out on the model.  Right now a lot people been suggesting I just paint over the model instead of paint stripping it.

 

I have just use my Dark Mechanicus in there first & last game of 7th ed last week.  But there was a bit to take in, just with it been complete diffrent to any other faction I've use in the hobby.  But the Dragoon walker where my favorite  unit, taken down the Lord of War Tau suit in combat.  But for now I'm jump back to my Iron Warriors for the last few 7th ed games.  With a friend return from the USA this week for two week.  Then next week be against another friend Necron force, Maelstorm Mission & I'm going to use my Maelstorm cards I got from Throne of Skulls last year.

 

Anyway, though I show a few things since the last update

 

First up, here was the last few models I needed to paint, to complete my current 1850pts Dark Mechanicus force

Been stocking up, getting ready for the brand new box game in less than two weeks & start of my brand new Nurgle force, toward my Black Crusade project.  So there Graven Warden from the Horus Heresy, waiting for the new plastic once (seen in video) to get release.  Few Nurgle Rhino doors & then the classic Forge World Nurgle Dreadnought.

On 8th ed

 

So like a lot people here, I've seen the leak & written a rough army list.  I think my core list is going to be the one I use during the Warhammer World Campaign weekend back in March as I like the unit I taken & how it played in games.  Just adding few things, like bring my Chaos Marines squads back to 10 models, somthing I've missed useing in games for the past few months since Traitor Hate was release. 

 

So right now sort of to-do list is

 

  • Maulerfiend, replace the cutter with lash.  I'm going to try use the once from the plastic Helbrute kit for this.
  • Fifth Chaos Terminator.  While I have a LOT of Terminator models.........well I need another.  With squad going to 5 models minimum.  I'm going to take this chance to finial get around & model a Terminator to carry Icon of Vengeance .  I've got the Forge World Transfer sheet waiting there with cool banner.  Then I'd like to create my own**.  This is been done because I think it going to look cool & to further add that this is Lord Narach unit of Terminators/bodyguards.
  • Try get the Rhino converted for my unit of Havocs I built early this year.  Like to try make a start on this, during the week.

Ether way I'm looking forward to the release 8th ed.

 

**Has anyone created there own transfer.  Any suggestion?  Pretty much for the Terminator Icon bearer.  So one side going to have the FW Transfer for Iron Warriors.  Then on the back of the banner, I'd like to included a list of names, campaign from Horus Heresy to current 40k follow background from the FW & BL books.  As well as including campaign my Iron Warriors have took part in gaming wise, like the Warhammer World event back in March, or Medusa V world wide campaign back in 2006.

Update

 

That the Rhino for my unit of Havocs all finish.  Along side the new Terminators I've converted to carry the Icon of Vengeance.

Sadly trying to make my own trasnfer didn't go to well.  So I've ended up free hand painting the campaign names from those in the background to those I've taken part in gaming wise, like back in March that Warhammer World with the Boralis Schism campaign weekend.

Also meant I couldn't add a lot of names that I'd like to added.  But I'm happy gotten the new Terminator standard bearer finish.

Then some conversion work done to the box game Nurgle Marines.  I'm really looking forward to the box set to start been release.  Just to see what parts will be on the sprue & just plan out my conversion bit more.  But I think I'm going to try get a few Dark Eldar Wrack parts, like the chain & hooks.  I want to use the sort of spike on the shoulder pad we see on the Nurgle Marine with grenade.

 

I've got a colour scheme planned.  I'm going to try paint up one of the models tomorrow just get a idea & if it will work.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/P1100341_zpsxte58nwt.jpg

 

I also bought the Age of Sigmar Dreadhold Keep, as I'm wanting to convert this up as a Chaos Bastion for my Iron Warriors.  I'm still working out some idea right now & talk to a few friends & just researching like LotR Mordor design.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/19113953_1392905167467043_3808887811354210796_n_zpsvwzdyk8f.jpg

 

I also got this last week.  My friend who collect Red Scorpion Space Marines (move to the USA in 2014) had return for a few weeks to see friends & family.  So when we arrange to get a finial 7th ed game Warhammer 40,000, they brought this with them as a gift which was really cool

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/P1100052_zpsv94ma3sz.jpg

 

Next Warhammer World event.  I'm really looking forward to this, Warhammer World run really great events & to me it how the 40k game should be done.  Just people taken the models & units they like & just spend the weekend in one of the best gaming venue.  I'm really looking forward to this & it just a few days before my birthday as well!!!

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/19430160_1613708081981999_5473769004038231470_n_zpsizrz6mpm.jpg

 

I mange to get my first game of 8th ed during the week there against my friend Space marines.  Was really great fun, 2420pts, with the game starting that 6.30pm, finish 8.15pm.  Just under two hour.
It just further added why the new 8th ed rule are perfect for me, the version of the game I wanted.  I'm really looking forward getting more games & Warsmith Abhorred Riddick will be returning to the gaming table soon (not as a boon Daemon prince) which I'm really looking forward to.
