Iron Warriors Squad - Horus Heresy **update 5 more warriors

[Legiocustodes]

I decided to start another new project recently in the form of a further Legion for Horus Heresy / Warhammer 30,000 gaming.

 

I know, I know... I have a thousand different projects on, but I find I need variety to keep me interested.

 

 

After much consideration I settled on doing an army of Iron Warriors as I love their aesthetic and I can also use them in 40k (possibly as Silver Skull proxies).

 

 

The basic metal power armour is relatively quick to achieve ... though I did spend ages on highlights where a drybrush might have sufficed. But those hazard stripes... man they take an absolute age!!

 

 

I chose to use MK III Iron armour for my first five man test batch as I think it’s sheer brutality suits the Legion’s look better than the sleeker MK IV Maximus pattern.

 

 

I’m really pleased with them overall, especially the Sergeant’s power sword and the new red bases I’m trialling! Now I’ve settled on a scheme I guess I’ll have to paint some more....

Your models are well-painted. Good job.

Very clean work I like it. Stripes look very cool, can't wait to see more.

Love these guys. The choice to leave the pauldron rims silver is nice, it gives them a really utilitarian vibe. Very Iron Warriors, Perturabo would approve.

Very nice work. Good to see the a bit of s different take in the Iron Warriors. A whole army of them is going to look awesome

[MithrilForge]

Very well done, even though they are chaos scum...i might even shed a tear shooting them apart cause they're so pretty  

That sword is real nice 2x 

 

Cheers, Mithril

You never know... they might be loyalist Iron Warriors

The law to do this is that Narik Dreygur must be your leader. ;) Edited September 11, 2019 by MegaVolt87

Very nicely executed!

After the initial success of my first batch of Iron Warriors last week I decided to knock out another five Astartes in order to keep them company.

 

 

I went for another five tactical marines in Mk III Iron Armour (my favourite version of the iconic space marine battle plate) in order to bring the squad up to ten warriors.

 

 

I chose to equip one of the marines with a vexilia (aka banner) as this has some limited in game effects but also looks pretty cool.

 

 

Again these mighty warriors were really enjoyable to paint and I think they ended up looking pretty cool. I think I have finally mastered the art of hazard stripes now!!

 

 

I’m thinking of doing a few more in order to go for a twenty man Legion Tactical Squad.
