MosesGunn Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I know I have a long dead topic lying somewhere in the bowels of Works in Progress, so mods do let me know me if I should just combine the two. Long story short, I've moved countries and after many shipments of models back and forth I've started to finally get my hobby set up going again. I've been intending to start an Iron Hands army ever since I got back into the hobby, but time and money meant I decided to muck around with my old Space Wolves army as practice before committing to a buying a new project. Battle of Calth changed all of that and I was impressed enough to impulse purchase it, so I don't have much of an excuse anymore to hold off starting the Iron Tenth I've been dreaming to build ever since 3rd edition! Still working on a backstory for my Clan, but I'm gearing to making them obsessed with seeking out Archeotech to explain the use of the MK IV bits and Contemptor from BoC and extensive kitbashing. Here are the first two tacticals I've made so far. Base is just temporary. http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s642/MosesGn/IMG_0188_zpsxiwq3jxo.jpg http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s642/MosesGn/fa73a9c1-d657-4465-a730-8463b117ea68_zpsocdctbpo.jpg http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s642/MosesGn/IMG_0190_zpsjkrlf5xz.jpg Be good to hear any comments and criticism. I'm still unsure about the servo skull on the back of the first marine so any opinions on that would be much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machine God Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Welcome to the fold Brother. What is the second marine going to be wielding in his right hand as its a firing hand? Where did you get his backpack from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kriegsmacht Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Good start . I like the bionic arm on the second marine. Is that from the Imperial Guard Command sprue? I might have to do some cutting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesGunn Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Welcome to the fold Brother. What is the second marine going to be wielding in his right hand as its a firing hand? Where did you get his backpack from? Cheers! Was trying to get him in a turning pose with his right hand empty, might not work from the angles I've taken the photos from. Maybe I'll try a knife. The backpack is the teleporter option from the Grey Knight sprue with the side bits clipped off with enough left to give the impression of vents. Good start . I like the bionic arm on the second marine. Is that from the Imperial Guard Command sprue? I might have to do some cutting... Yes it is. Love the amount of options that kit has for conversions.

CyderPirate Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Welcome, Brother! Excellent start, nice bit of kitbashing. I thought at first that the guard arm might be a bit skinny, but I think it might just be the angle of that first picture. In fact, I might have to steal that idea...

Kriegsmacht Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hope you don't mind Mosesgunn that I stole your left arm bionic idea. I found the arm and I wanted to use it. Edit: I realize I should have asked this in my previous post earlier instead of five minutes before I put up my pics. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesGunn Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 My glacial modelling speed goes on. New tactical marine is done. My first attempt at a scratch built bionic leg. Think it turned out pretty well and I learnt some new tricks for the next one. http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s642/MosesGn/IMG_0257_zpsy41wwliy.jpg http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s642/MosesGn/IMG_0258_zpsrvttwo1a.jpg http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s642/MosesGn/IMG_0259_zps423a9kos.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesGunn Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Got another marine done. The new devastator sprue is such an awesome resource. http://i1310.photobucket.com/albums/s642/MosesGn/IMG_0254_zpsmldnugdg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesGunn Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Tactical marine. Leg is from an ancient Necron warrior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesGunn Posted April 30, 2016 Author Share Posted April 30, 2016 Melta Marine. Realised that I should have taken this from another angle as you can't see the bionic on his right arm. If I ever get them painted up I'll try and to do multiple shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I really need to spend more time in the Iron Hands forum. I might get around to restarting my own DIY Chapter faster if I did Nice looking minis The Clan wouldn't happen to have been named after this individual by any chance?

Vel'Cona Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Off to a great start! When you are going to do a paint scheme test model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesGunn Posted May 6, 2016 Author Share Posted May 6, 2016 Off to a great start! When you are going to do a paint scheme test model? Probably not for a while! Weather on the East Coast has been terrible and I don't have the space for indoor priming. The good news is I'm moving, the bad news is I'm having to take a break from modelling, as I don't want to move out all of my hobby stuff until I'm sure that I'm settled and not at risk of another major move. Thanks for looking though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 No joke, I live in NE myself! When the weather starts acting up, I break out this stuff: http://www.acrylicosvallejo.com/en_US/primers/family/22 You can use an airbrush to apply it (I prefer black for my models) or just brush on by hand. And it gives excellent, smooth results every time! (Also, it's WAY cheaper than spray cans !) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
