Iron Warriors Legion Terminators

I managed this about a week ago but was not in time for the Legio Throwdown. Did a few conversions on them using SM Terminators, coupled with my old metal CSM Terminators bits, Warriors of Chaos heads and the ever important green stuff. Enjoy the pics below.

For my IW project, I'm stopping here for now. My next target would be the Obliterators but Fantasy is suddenly picking up steam again in our hobby locale here, so I guess I'm going back to my Vampire Counts and finish up what I had left off about a year ago. See you in the next post.

Sons of Perturabo

So many updates these past 5 months I don't even know where to begin. For now I will post with what I've done so far and work backwards from there on. Well, I've started a new project and the post title is self evident; Iron Warriors Legion!

I'm always fascinated with the IWs and even though they turned traitor, IMO, they still maintain the legion hierarchy and structure and their Primarch, Perturabo, still lives though now a Daemon Prince. Their heavy reliance on wargear and technology over the powers of the warp and siege warfare tactics made even more interested to this project.

I have tons of Warriors of Chaos parts from my previous pre heresy Space Wolves project and I'm applying the same concept for my IW project. I prefer my IW CSM to be a notch higher than your regular Space Marine. So I painstakingly converted every single model to reflect this effort. Parts and bits used for conversion,as follows:

Warrior of Chaos, Space Marine bits, CSM bits, Necron Warriors, and copious of Green Stuff for the fur cloaks.

I'll the picture do the talking per below. These are the Troops entry for Legio Throwdown event which my club, Legio, currently conducting. Checkout our Legio blog for more details.  Enjoy the pics and appreciate your comments guys.

Test Model: Iron Warriors CSM

Got sidetracked a bit and completed a test model of my upcoming 2012/13 project; Iron Warriors. Rumor has it there will be a new CSM codex after the release of the 6th Edition. Click this link for the said rumors. Although is a long way till the rumored release date, I say what the heck, plus I have tons of unused Chaos Marines waiting to be painted. Pics as per below:

For the Iron Warrior armor, I started off with a base coat of Chaos Black then a layer of  Boltgun Metal. Next a 1:1 Chaos Black and Scorched Brown and once dry a highlight of Boltgun Metal. I wanted the model to look 'aged' and dirty so wash of Devlan Mud along the yellow hazard marking and a dash of Gryphone Sephia on visible parts of the Iron Warrior armor.

Iron Warriors are well known for their siege capability and usage of advanced tech and weaponry. Adhering to this theme, I will try to minimize the influence of Chaos on this army (they will still be CSM army though) and try to concentrate on arming them with majority of Astartes weapons. I have a few conversion ideas but I'm saving it for later. In the meantime, appreciate your comments guys.
