Chronophague Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Well, 'cause of time restraints, I did eventually abandon the NMM IW idea, and I thought it best to paint up the whole load of Iron Warriors I got, so out came the Mithril silver and washes. Got a few things done and will get more pretty quickly. :tu: Think I gotta reshoot the liutenant, the pic is kinda bad. Lemme know whatcha think. http://usera.imagecave.com/kronork/IronWar...edatorright.jpg http://usera.imagecave.com/kronork/IronWarriors/squad005.jpg http://usera.imagecave.com/kronork/IronWarriors/Liutenant.jpg Cheers +++ Mod edit: pictures changed to links in compliance with the BNCPPP (B&C picture posting policy) +++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morningshadow Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Damn, Chrono :tu: !!! I don't think it matters whether they were NMM or mettalics those are some beautiful models. Keep em' coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squiggoth Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Weedy no gud Iron Beakies! :P They're very groovy - the pale blue works well with the rusty steel tones. How could you have ever considered painting Iron Warrior with non-metallics? :tu: I'm not sure about the squad's patchy brown base rims though .... they look a bit Goff. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Heretic, get your foul fungus ladden hoof off my brother! :tu: j/k I like the scheme. Very gritty. Although they do not feel very chaosy, but I understand that perhaps they may not have received less favors from the gods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braiboo Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 ive seen iron warriors painted neeter and with more complex colour schemes, but these are definatly the best ive seen they just kind of look right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think you paint metallics better than most that's what I think :tu: . I'm always impressed with the finish you manage to achieve. I hate painting metallics and you just make it look so easy :tu: Gorgeous pred by the way....Oh and I concur with Lord R on SW under foot, Tut Tut a visit from from Russ's son's is on the cards :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Kousa Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 damn those are nice! love the metallics, especially on the lieutenant (his metallics look so smooth and kinda like soft :tu: ) great job! are you gonna make more soon? :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 re you gonna make more soon? Yes, an oblitterator and another squad is on the way at the moment. After they are done, I will either paint more squads(got 2 CCW squads as well), or I will start fiddling with the Daemon Prince. Hmm, seems like a good idea, to put more Space pups on the bases. :tu: My trenches are ready... Here's a left side view of the tank btw, omitted it in the first post, since it looks to be perhaps just slightly out of focus... http://usera.imagecave.com/kronork/IronWar...redatorleft.jpg Cheers +++ Mod edit: picture changed to link in compliance with the BNCPPP +++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldo_Funk Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 This is I think the most avesome IW i've seen since I played. Giving up with the NMM is not really reprochable with this kind of job. The predator is *gone out to shoot golly*, well the predator is just sublime, the squad is dynamic and good-looking. The only thing I could tell is that they look to flat, coulor-istically speaking, and you should maybe Highlight more the golden armor borders. My eyes are just melting...

migsula Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 With my best Mickey D's mimic " I'm loving it"!! Great work. So happy to see these guys finally getting painted - and knowing me, I much prefer the RMM finish!! Great work T! Now get back to working and lets see them at the Fanatic. You do have a week afterall :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersminis Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Excellent work, Chrono. Well painted, well weathered, properly themed, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 :eek :P whoooo......!!!!!!! There are truly great Iron Warriors. My only problem is DAMN YOU for putting them up now as I just finish my own IWs for the UK GT heat 1. Hummm... I supose I could fit another few models in my GT force ;) I really like your Lt model & how he got the scope in his hands... could maybe do that for a sarg. Would you care to give us a into on how you painted that silver effect. Again great models :tu: could you post more once you have more :blush: Thanks IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizz Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Very nice minis. :eek I think the weathering on the Predator is waay overdone, but besides that, it's cool. Sweet idea using the Annihilator turret (w. 2 barrels), with an autocannon mounted instead. Looks ace. Oh, and the headlights on the preddie looks dull. The troopers are kick-:P :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obliterator Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Damn fine job, Chrone, damn fine job! The Predator looks gorgeous, and that last marine looks ace :blush: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Desmodus Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Looks great, the pred could use some mud 'n dust IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herald_of_Nurgle Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 In the famous words of the craze scientists from them beer commericals (forgot the name of the brand atm) "Brilliant." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronophague Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Thanks for the kind words guys, oblitterator and another squad should be up tomorrow I reckon. I'm thinking of naming the predator the "Istvaan pattern" in commemoration of the heroic deeds by the forces of chaos in that area ;) Great work T! Now get back to working and lets see them at the Fanatic. You do have a week afterall Looks bad, because I am 2 tanks short atm, looking for some fom of replacements, I don't really fancy using defilers... Tricky situation :D Would you care to give us a into on how you painted that silver effect. Not hard really, paint mithirl, ink like hell, and then do mithril highlights. Hey presto done. Guess it comes down to being able to judge when enough ink is enough :jaw: Again great models thumbsup.gif could you post more once you have more rolleyes.gifDefinately. Looks great, the pred could use some mud 'n dust IMHO. Yeah, it would sorta be an idea, but I'm not sure, since it kinda gives the feel of a different zone battle. If it's more cityfightish, then there would be dust from debris basicly, not all tanks have to be caked in mud, and I kinda like the scratched worn, but still sorta clean look of it. Might try weathering on the next tank tho... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinohai Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 quite beautitul, almost to tears with how good they look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarhus Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Now these chaos boys look like they've actually seen thousands upon thousands of years of endless combat! Incredible work on the battle damage, and I truly love your flesh tones. You're a wonderful inspiration to us all, and I'm definitely saving a pic of that tank for reference on battle damage! Cheers, Lawrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gebann Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Considering I really prefer "dark pewter" type IW,I must say those could make me change my tastes. Damn fine work Chrono,really clean!!Nice attention to details! gebann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
