WIP: Iron Warriors tactical squads.

Well only a slight update fellas not done so much as I've been really busy of late decorating my house but I have found time to test hazard stripes on these three marines chest and leg plates.

I've been taking inspiration out of HH book 3 for their placement and have been trying to keep them muted so's not to overpower the metal/iron armour, They are probably a little too over worn for my liking but when the squads are all together fully painted it should look the part in that some marines look more battle worn than others.

Not really got the hang of this batch painting lark because most of my bits are at different stages lol, Also I'm missing around 15 marines on corks just need to stick the torsos legs arms and packs together bang them on corks and get the primer on, Hopefully then get everything to pre-wash stage over the next few days.

It struck me with the weather changing that it may be a good idea to get some primer on everything else Iron Warriors related that I own, Not going to start these tanks till the marines are done but I prime outside with canned car primer and the colder weather can really mess with the finish, Forward thinking ?...that's not like me lol.

So I've corked these weapons up last night, Still waiting for the Typhon FW!!

Well that's it for now guys except to say that I've been working on a IW's Master of Signal kit-bash which I hope to bring to you shortly so watch this space.

Iron Warriors: Scimitar Jetbikes.

Right then guys these Scimitar Jetbikes are not exactly the hard hitting tanks for which the Iron Warriors are famed for but they look the business and even more so when you have them in your hands, Such gorgeous lines I just love them.

Every Legion used them so that's how I'm squaring their inclusion, Kind of like out riders with out wheels going hard on the flanks spotting and eliminating any threats that might pose concern to the main thrust of the force.

My main Iron Warriors army will be made up of MkII marines and what do you know the bikes come with different Mk armor riders, Problem solved with the aid of my good Lady's hair dryer and six legs/body's from the Marine bundle I bought, I'm going to keep the arms they aren't strictly MkII but still passable plus it's easier for me, Pretty happy with how the legs turned out, Not so sure about the added helmet effort and so might give that a miss.

Got most of the riders sorted now although I did run out of legs so ordered another MkII pack from FW, Also guys don't know if you have noticed but I've carefully removed the eagle off the front of all the bikes, The Aquila is not so prevalent in pre-heresy so I'm trying to sick to the fluff/story as much as possible.

Anyway thats all for now, back soon.

Tau..Remora Drone.

Remora Drone Stealth Fighters........
Hi just a quick post, found out today that my good lady does listen to me when im chatting about my hobby and model preferences, I had a look in a small brown cardboard box that i hadn't noticed before and low and behold two Tau Stealth Fighters, happy days!!, I took them out and examined them because through reading other sites ive learned that forge world kits often have substandard parts due to the moulding process, im happy to report except for a couple of issues the parts are fine and im looking forward to building and painting them, but for now their back in the box and put back in the naffest hiding place you could think of (she's really got to work on that) as i assume they are for my birthday, so i'll update you guys further in a couple of weeks.
