Now i've seperated this out from my casternalls project because it's been slightly upscaled by a rescent development.

Basically i'm an iron warrior to my core. Everything about my work has been leading up to developing my own part of the IV legion and i think i am finally there. However despite the fact it's imperial fist fan fiction i always liked the battle of phall, and so i'm developing it as part of my basing theme and another two sections of the project.

So lighting stepping past what is to come, let's begin with what's i've managed to finish. I have a shipment of iron warriors somewhere in the royal mail awaiting delivery but since it won't be today i've done some base work instead.

Here's is what i've done;

Good start. I really like this exclusive Iron Warrior.

And good to read that the Sons of Emo-urabo cant live with their defeat at Phall happy.png

Well we can't all have a stick so far up our backsides an ultramarine but can't help but whistle in amazement and ask for tips...

But on a serious note; yeah one of the nicest one off mini's they've done. I want like 5...

Diggin' it.

Will be following this one.

BSS

thank you sir!

Looks like a very promising start, and that event-exclusive mini is amazing. The battle of Phall is one of my favourite HH engagements as well, so I'm looking forward to this.

Wait till you see what i have planned. I have a BFG fleet to work on, a 20cm x20cm diorama to do and.... well that would be telling.

As a 'Battle of Phall' project is on my own to do list, I will definitely be following your work.

Love the base work.

Thank you kind sir. I am enjoying the theme work.

Phall update; It's got a lot going on in this post.

It's time to reveal my loyalist model, the paint in progress pollux;

And for my actual army i've nearly finished two models. As i'm waiting on a delivery tomorrow of legion goodies i've decided to keep this update out of the lighting box. Can't wait to build and paint my core legion forces however;

Update, i hope, will come soon.

Awesome thread! The paint jobs are fantastic and I am looking forward to more of the Phall project.

 

Also, I would love to get my hands on that Narik without have to pay the price of an army for it. I envy you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously envy you. :)

Off to a fantastic start brother! Best of luck with this project!

 

If you don't mind my asking, would you mind posting a size comparison picture of Alexis Pollux's backpack compared to a GW plastic pack?  I'm curious how much bigger his pack is.

Oh he's so damned sexy... worth the £30 he was selling for a while back. He should reach that price again soon.

Once i get him painted sure, i won't be near him for a few days but i will say it's about 120% normal size, so quite big.

Any folks.... I've crumbled.

Great work so far mate, can't wait to see more painted up!

 

I have a random question to ask...the banner on Pollux's scenic base - is the Iron Warrior design sculpted on? I have a conversion in mind and was just wondering.

The base yellow is airbrush, but that's pre-wash. After i do my little tricks with oil paints i build up the yellows tones and highlights by hand. The iron warrior flag is part of pollux's base, which makes it much easier.

Now for an update after some time in the wild. I have moved my first 10 marines on the 32mm bases and i'm happy with the result.

I might have a pop at painting them this weekend.

Hope you find the time, I really like the dull metal color of your army! Be sure to post a little tutorial msn-wink.gif Waiting for the next update here or on FB.

I might well do, my metal work has been one of my most sought after techniques as i always manage to make it look... well realistic.

Now....there has been a small development on my workbench.

This is a great project and can't wait to see it finished! It might be a long while but I can see it coming together nicely! Will you be doing both the Fists and Iron Warriors armies or just one of them?

Just the iron warriors. I've painted about 4k of imperial fists last year (i've got some photo's somewhere) and i have no desire to do that again even if i get paid.

 

On another note... i've had an early crack at my knights. For now i've photophopped together a lose heraldry mk1, before i do my offical shield and decal theme. It's helped me pick a base scheme which i've also put on my knight.

i think it works, certainly work developing further.

3 FW knights!? Nice! Looking good, and cool bases. I'd caution overuse of the Captain Morgan pose, but they look cool none the less smile.png

only now do i see that... nice phrasing. I went with a 'hero' pose since these are suppost to be pretty knightly knights. The two ranged ones are designed to flank while the center lancer is in a 'i challange thee to take back what it is thou stateth about my mother' pose.

Just want to start off saying I love this thread! The knights poses look glorious! My only recomendation would be to drop the hazard stripes and use the silver (like in the armorial pic you put up) for the knights trim instead of the gold. I find it looks to yellow, and having the knight painted all three primary colours makes it seem busy to me.

thanks mate! the hazard is a tie in piece for reasons about to present themselves.

It's time for an update.

I hope this will justify everyones interest in this log and show people what kind of quality you can expect to come.

Having just finished The Crimson Fist for the first time, this thread came at the right moment ;) This looks awesome so far. I can't wait to see where you go with your IWs. My only (very minor) subjective criticism would be that I prefer a darker, deeper yellow (kind of like the yellow on your IW vehicles' hazard stripes) to the brighter job you have going on with Polux. But that's entirely subjective. Awesome work. :)

So would we like some more IV legion? I've finished the two rhinos, got the bulk of my typhon done and started some other stuff...
