SHOWCASE: Iron Warriors Warsmith.

Hi guys, Well just in time for Xmas I've finished the badass Warsmith to lead my motley crew of equally badass IV Legion.....take no prisoners!


Pretty chuffed with this little fella, Love the way his understated size blends in with his brethren but are still left in no doubt of his authority.




First time I've used blood effects on a model, I mixed some Tamiya red clear with Vallejo black and waited for it to dry a bit so it went a little gloopy, Not sure if it looks that great but it breaks up the steel colour of his hand weapon so it will do for me.

The hair colour was my third attempt and one I'll be sticking with, The first two, grey and brown, were both kind of  dull against his silver armour....so there we are red(ish) hair.

Some more close ups guys.

    1. Hi Greg, Cheers mate.

      I'm really happy with it, I did the face before the 3x hair attempts every time hoping not to muck the skin tone up.....managed it yay.

  5. Love the face, with the fantastic skin tones and the metal mask. I wouldn't want him coming across the table at me...
