IRON SCORN: 40K Iron Warriors Army

 Finished my Iron Warriors army for 40K, although I set these in a mid point between HH and 40K (35K?), where they aren't hugely overt on the chaotic elements, but theres some distinct chaos look in there.

Generally enjoyed painting and building these, although I took at least a year gap between the first batch (foot) and second batch (vehicles). Have to say, it was a real nostalgia hit building the plastic HH kit that is akin to the look of ye old RTB01 marines and weapons.

Still, very enioyable making a 40K army again and repurposing some old stuff I've had sitting around for (too) many years unused. Hopefully will give these a run out on the table in a couple of week against the hated Imperial Fists, which'll be my first 40K proper in a long time...........

Some of these have been put onto the blog before, but are here again as part of the main force.

Iron Warriors Veterans

Some Vets to add to the Iron Warriors. Had to do these by hand, as I'd usually spray paint the silver one, but army painters notoriously crappy cans gave out on me (seriously, I'm gonna give up on those and find something else. Its the nozzle clogging and propellant failing that does it, when the can is 50% full) and I had to get in with the brush.

Came out............fine. Might redo those teatowels hanging off their waists in a darker colour at some point, but painted is painted!

Iron Warrior Terminators

More Iron Warriors, Terminators this time. Went for HH era ones and they look BADASS.

Whether they prove to be so on the tabletop........lets see.

Iron Warriors

The Iron Warriors. "Ungrateful bastards, that Imperium, ungrateful bastards!" *digging a trench* Thats the IW background in a sentence, isn't it? Always been one of my favourite chaos legions, from reading the yellow book back in the day and the descriptions of them in there.

SO, 25 years later, 26 years after my first proper 40K army (my Wolves, a whole post in themselves, that army, and why I'm out of love with them/an example of how literalism ruins things) and my first proper 40K activity (those Death Guard last year were more a painting exercise that had been kicking around since the mid 90s and taken a long time to get out) in 7-8 years and we've got some new Iron Warriors on the scene :)

These are all in the MKIV armour, a nostalgia throwback in itself, and painted pretty quickly. The characters are FW resin ones, as I was feeling flush with the CASH. Rough plan is to expand this warband slightly, but probably not a full army, but lets see how that goes. At least they've all been painted.
