tagsta Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I really them but somehow they lack chaos iconography (arrows and stuff) show us more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I really them but somehow they lack chaos iconography (arrows and stuff) show us more! Lack heck there space wolf torso on the power armour Iron Warriors. Other then that they look good i realy like the termie with the arnie style head and the cold dead flesh look cool.

Cypher441 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Good and clean, tabletop quality at its best. I'd suggest you go a bit easier on the varnish, it really shines on the black. Some spots on the minis look a little flat and dull, like they could use some iconography or assorted peripherals. ala the Dread. Though it may be 'practical' and 'functional', it doesn't look very chaosy. Other than that, you've done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viperidae Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Awesome work, well done! Smooth paint job, minimalist colours but still very stylish. I particularly like the 'bloody chainsword dude(s?)'. Excellent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Very good, Calamity Kane! Very dark and moody looking - which is great for Iron Warriors, they're not as obviously 'Chaosy' as other Traitor Marine Legions, but you want them to look like there's something not quite nice about them, which you've captured perfectly. Well Done! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC86 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Compared to some of the over-equipped Dreads I've seen I think yours is more menacing for it's LACK of features. It looks less like a (considerably) chunky "man" and more like a thing that wants to kill me. The lack of general chaos iconography doesn't bother me either. It's obvious WHO they are. These IW's seem more dedicated to the mechanics of killing than the 'scaryness' of chaos. In which case I would fear them more. SteveC86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The4thHorseman Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Great looking Marines. While not overtly Chaos, they definitely look like they mean business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardus Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Solid painting, man. I like. Quite the chainfist on your WS. The termies need a bit more. Do some work to the greaves ie. glue chaos icons, paint litnanies of hate, add studs, etc. and add some racks on their back or small exaust stacks. my .2 Ardus.

deathskullork Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 very nice stuff. Im also a fan of the more functional look, it works very well with iron warriors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebann Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I have been thinking about mixing some "loyalist" and chaos marines together in my own army. You've made my decision easier. Nice work bud. <_< Gebann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feuer_faust Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 The plain is a Good Thing , very Un-Chaos-Chaos of them... However, as plain as the dred is, I think it's even a little too plain (although this is what you were going for.) Nice over-all. Very neat chevron work.

Isiah Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Holy Emperor- these guys actually looks like metal and rusting before my very eyes. That Dread is SUPERB. cheers Isiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calamity_kane Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 Hey you thanks for all the positive feedback ..... didn't think about the dread causing some controversy.... but the great thing about this hobby is how individuals can interpret things in different ways ^_^ thes were sort of inspired after reading storm of iron....... anyone seen the latest WD and Alex Cairns traitor guard also inspired by storm of iron ..... they arent how i would have interpreted them .... but still bloody awesome....might end up converting my cadians and doing my own imterpretation. again thanks calamity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callas Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I think the Dread looks good - you can argue that at the time of the Heresy, which supposedly this lad made it through - things weren't built to look so baroque and pretty as right now, they were built to fight. And so he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
