Warbringer Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Started work on next years force, which I've decided is going to be Chaos Space Marines, and specifically Iron Warriors, I enjoyed the Black Legion but it was causing me pain with my carpel tunnel I had a look through my books and book covers for some artwork and I had settled on World Eaters, however looking at the parts I need to complete the look it was getting very pricy. Looking back through my phone notes when I was originally staring CSM and picked black legion I had saved lots of details of Iron Warriors as my second choice. This was one of the Art References I had. Honsou - Warmaster of the Iron Warriors. SO i brought a load of bits and realise that Mk3 Armour is small now. Death Guard have Mk3 armour and are near Primaris sized so I brought a few of them and got my saw going. Here is what I'm up to so Far. I've removed the weapon from the hand and made the fist a bit tidier. I've also spend like 2 hours making the arm sit in the slot by using a Dremel to open out the hole and done some green stuff on the legs. Also sanded and glued the front plates and chains to the model I posted up to Twitter earlier on and its got a good reception so far and I'm the kind of converter and painter that will take shortcuts but I won't be doing that now based on the following feedback from Twitter from a guy with a cool name!

Pearson73 Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 That's a cracking rendition of the art. High praise indeed from McNeill! Warbringer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbringer Posted December 23, 2019 Author Share Posted December 23, 2019 Hell yeah megzikes work is awesome I found this one originally from Spedgeymini's then found megzikes as a similar image, I assume he used this one as reference also. https://www.instagram.com/p/B11IRXynqKE/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theduke08 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 That one is solid as well. I think the Mk 3 is the way to go though. Just a much more brutal looking armor. Plus I dont see Iron Warriors with that much daemonic detail on the armor. Warbringer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I don't see Iron Warriors with that much daemonic detail on the armour. Totally agreed i was looking at Krakendoom's deathguard and they're a bigger size than the newer CSM stuff too. Honsou is a half breed and I think the cobbled together armour but obviously functioning really suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanist Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Loving the Honso really smoothly blended the parts together and covered the deathguard details. A whole army to support him will look ace. Warbringer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Looking really good! I only have one minor quibble, and it's really minor:Honsou's bionic eye is blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbringer Posted December 24, 2019 Author Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) Looking really good! I only have one minor quibble, and it's really minor: Honsou's bionic eye is blue. I had a real dilemma with the eye and i have considered re-painting it as I will be painting blue lenses for my iron warriors. I was using this art work as the reference for painting and its got a red eye so I sort have accepted it for now. I'm going to see how it looks when I've painted more of the force Edited December 24, 2019 by Warbringer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Really nice work, you've done a great job of recreating the artwork. I really like your interpretation. :tu: Warbringer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 That Honsou conversion is so close to the artwork! Fantastic job! I's probably keep the red eye, simply because it seems more menacing ;) Warbringer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbringer Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'm very close to finishing my latest iron warrior conversion. This one is not based on artwork but trying to represent myself on the tabletop. Getting slightly better with greenstuff now :) Doctor Perils, Quixus, BadgersinHills and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbringer Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 I managed to finish my Warsmith conversion. This is Ferrox the Warbringer I really enjoyed this model the build and the converting was fun, I've really enjoyed using the deathguard blightlord terminator kit to get that bulky old school aesthetic I also am happy with my green stuff work on the middle part of the torso and around the chains and now its painted it all fits into the look. My painting has had a marked improvement over the last year to the point i can tell I've improved. I've been focusing on certain parts of the model following some advice I received around painting the areas that get all the attention to a better level than some of the surrounding parts will make the model look painted to an overall better standard.

Warbringer Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 Excellent work on Ferrox. Thanks Mate I'm really happy with him, before the heatwave hit in the UK I had started a terminator squad and have a couple of forgeworld units I want to get on with.

Warbringer Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) I'm working on terminators and realised I hate batch painting. Here is my current iron warriors patrol ready for 9th edition. I've got a few more goodies in the future too. Iron Circle Automata and Kytan Ravager planned.

Warbringer Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Finished my terminator squad.Was hoping to have finished them a couple of weeks ago but real life has reduced my hobby time to virtually nothing. They were fun overall, realised I don't enjoy batch painting but only have to do it one more time with some havoc's everything else I've got planned can be painted on their own :D Looking forward to finding out how many points I've got painted now :D MithrilForge, Raztalin, Dr_Ruminahui and 7 others 10 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbringer Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share Posted July 23, 2020 They look really intimidating, good job! Thanks! I'm happy with how they turned out have taken 4 weeks due to RL issues but only a couple of hours a week so happy with the result for the input :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbringer Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 I decided to build another Honsou after seeing lots more people using the Havoc kit as a basis of the build, I thought I would also add a chosen squad in with the other characters in the books. Honsou He got shown on the Hobby Round-up too. I started painting and started with the Head as I like to get the character sorted.

Warbringer Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 I was slow at posting on here but I finished Honsou. Also managed to get a game in last night vs Pandora's Bitz Box and Honsou was victorious in combat and his warband won the game :) BadgersinHills, Tallarn Commander, Iron Skull Mask and 5 others 8 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
