Khorne's Eternal Hunt - KrautScientist's chaotic WIP thread: Fine-tuning Eightbound...


Recommended Posts

Gorehound been down far too many times. I have plans for a new base though and it will be completely solid. As for the Knight launcher I have plans for that sorry buddy. Only one of the knights is new kit and the other is the existing one.

@ Biohazard: Oh well, I had to ask ;) Looking forward to seeing you tackle those Knights, though! While they be chaotic or loyalist?

 

@ Eberious: Cheers, mate! Coming from you, that's high praise indeed!

 

As it happens, I cannot seem to stop converting new Iron Warriors at the moment. The beautiful thing about this being a small Killteam, though, is that I can use that to explore all of the Iron Warriors archetypes I like. Here are the next two team members:

On the right is the Apothecary you already know, although I did some slight cleanups on this guy. On the left is a new model, because you cannot have an Iron Warriors Killteam without a massive Breacher guy, can you? ;)

As always, let me know what you think! :)

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

 

@ Auggie: Haha, those legs are from the DV Chosen Commissar Molotov let me have, and it was a rather big pile. Having worked with several sets of those models, I am now courageous (or foolhardy) enough to rigorously carve them up. They do look so good with those Iron Warriors torsos, though, don't they? ;)

Those are some great looking Iron Warriors Kraut, can't wait to see that Apothecary painted. And that Breachers pose is to die for.

Cheers, guys! I am glad you like them as much as I do ;)

 

@ Kriegsmacht: Ah, no: That head came from the WFB chaos chariot crew, and I just added an antenna and an optic array cut from some vanilla Space Marine helmets.

Hmm, I think I have one more model mostly conceptualised at this point: the heavy weapons guy. I plan on arming him with a rocket launcher for now. And after that, maybe, just maybe, there'll be a battle automaton to round out the project (seeing how I have preordered the Kastelan kit, and I would really like to paint one of them in IW colours -- we'll see how that pans out...). And maybe a support cultist or two? As you see, I really have to restrain myself, lest this become an entire new army project ;)

Of course, there's a nice idea with chaos forces how there can be smaller warbands grouping together to achieve greater goals. The idea that there might be a small force of Iron Warriors alongside the Eternal Hunt is an evocative one. So this is less a diversion as it is an extension of your force!

 

Glad to see you're putting those Dark Vengeance legs to some good use!

Stop, you'll explode my head. :tongue.:  there'll be ego everywhere. 

 

Those DV chosen are a great source for bits. Cheap enough off ebay and with a little time spent cutting out the torso, legs, shoulder pads etc are well worth it.

Cheers, guys! :)

 

@ Lord Commander Scrymgeor: Hmmm, I will admit I don't really see it: The Blightkings seem a little too bloated and diseased for me. That said, it should be possible to clean up the more heavily armoured bodies. Tell you what, why not go for it and convince me? ;)

 

@ Mol: Thanks again for your generosity! Did you get my e-mail? As for connecting these guys to my World Eaters, it's possible (and I have deliberately created a plot thread or two to allow for it, but it's definitely not a priority. That said, it has always been really easy to throw disparate warbands together, hasn't it? In a way, chaos players have had unbound armies for ages ;)

 

So anyway, here's another small update on the Killteam:

 

The Champion is now completed:

So here are the first three finished members of the Killteam:

And the entire project so far:

In keeping with my current fascination with the 4th legion, I also bought the "Storm of Iron" ebook yesterday ;)

 

As always, let me know what you think! :)

Thanks a lot, guys! :smile.:

 

@ Auggie: Haha, no way, mate: Go finish those World Eaters first :wink:

 

@ Red Skullz: Nah, I think I'm pretty safe for now: A slightly rounded out collection of Iron Warriors with a few more models? Very likely. A full-fledged army? Much less so.
