Iron Warriors Army: Complete

G'day folks, Macca here with my now very playable Iron Warriors army. Not just that, but I took the photos on my new Imperial Sector realm of battle board. Overall, the army was a really fun project, and whilst nothing too crazy happened with the conversions, the little bits I did I feel add something unique to the force.

First up, I have Narik Dreygur leading his unit of Vorax Automata. This is a nasty unit, but nowhere near as scary as Castellax...

There's also my Iron Warrior Contemptors, complete with chainfists and grav gun hands.

Of course, there's the command squad, led by Kyr Vhalen for +5 to their badassery rolls.

Tyrant Siege Terminators. Why? Because my enemies' tears are the sweetest of nectar.

My custom Deredeo. How custom? Well, not very, this was a pretty subtle conversion, with some Thallax chain-bayonets attacked to his main guns, an Iron Warriors icon on his left knee and physical hazard stripes added to the right of his torso and his right shin. The only reason I made them physical instead of just painting them (which is like 10 times easier) is that I wanted to make him match my existing Dreadnoughts.

Graviton Rapiers. Why? Well, not many people have them, so it's something different. I also made the guns removable so I can use quad mortars or quad lasers in the future.

The weathering is pretty restrained I feel, with a tiny smidge of rust and some chips and scratches.

Iron Havocs with Autocannons...

...Iron Havocs with Heavy Bolters

The Tormentor.

I love this tank so friggen' much, just for the rule of cool.

Iron Within, Iron Without

I hope you enjoy the army, if all goes well, I will also be doing a video battle report on this table and with this army come this weekend! Btw, if you're in Ballarat, hit me up and if I'm around, you can come over for a game of 30k.

Narik Dreygur, Praevian Consul of the Iron Warriors: Part 1

G'day folks, Macca here with a quick one. On Wednesday, my Praevian Consul arrived. Needless to say, I'm a very happy chappy (not to be confused with the mediocre movie that has just left the cinemas). The rules for this guy can be found here.

Anyway, I opened him up first thing when I got home, (I have spent 5 of the last 6 weeks away working) and got to work building him straight away. Then, after finishing the basic build, I had a brain storm.

Is that a servo harness? Why yes, it is. I love this model so much, it screams Iron Warriors to me, so I want to use it even when I'm not using this Consul's rules. Thus, I decided to give him an attachment that could work for a Praetor as well. After all, a Power Fist isn't the worst equipment going, is it?

I also decided to swap his original left shoulder pad for one embossed with the Legion emblem. This makes sense as most of the miniatures so far have these pads. I also made some very subtle additions, just for the rule of cool and proper WYSIWYG. Can you pick them?

That's right. Melta bomb, frag and krak grenades on his left hip. I did this because you never know when you're going to need them.

Anyway, by some point tomorrow, maybe Sunday, I should have this guy painted up. If you like my idea, feel free to let me know, if you think I ruined the miniature, let me know too!
