My daemon prince:


My baneblade/fellblade:


That's it for starters, there's a lot more but it's not in a showing off state yet

Excellent work so far! Particularly like how the baneblade is coming along!

amazing work it looks great

looking pretty sweet so far!
keep us updated

Well slap me on my iron bottocks and call me Master Betty, I just KNEW it was only a question of time before you came on here, Artificer! (it'sa me, FerrumIgnatus from the AdeptusMechanicus Forum)

Have to say, that Land Raider has gotten one darn fine paintjob. Love the weathering, and I'm ESPECIALLY fond of the "oily" effects on the hull.. makes me want to dust off my Land Raider and continue it's "salvation" (rescued it after its previous owner heavily mutilated the poor lass with a modeller's saw)

It's a real pleasure having you here, lad

Wow, that was some awsome tanks and miniatures. I really like the dread and landraider. Canīt wait to see more, plsease post more

I've got to say, this is probably my favourite IW army out there!
I love the weathering and chipping. Its exactly what my IW lack...
That landraider is awesome! very inspirational for my own landraider. I'll have to build it sometime soon.

Great stuff.

so how do you do your chipping on the stripes?

I definitely like the look of the Dread and Land Raider!

incredible chevrons!

Wauw that's a lot of nice feedback guys, thanks a lot!

The chipped paint is done with a sponge

I'll see if I can get an update for this army soon, but no promises.

I feel like hitting myself in the head for not realising that, that is an excellent way to do the chipping.
May I also ask what colours you have used for your gold, I'm looking to redo the gold on my own models to add a bit more depth.

im not following on the sponge. are you using the sponge to apply the paint like the dragon creams of old?

Dreachon@ Yeah sure the brass/gold here is painted with vallejo's liquid gold series red gold It's an alcohol based metallic paint and it's really great

jesseye@ I start of with painting the chevrons/ hazard stripes (whatever you guys fancy calling them ) and then I use a sponge, old blister foam will do, and dip it into some paint, wipe most of it off and tap the sponge on the area you want to be chipped. This will leave a random pattern of small "paint chips" all over the area which I then highlighted with a lighter colour around the edge to make them stand out a bit. I used schorched brown for this model, but chardon granite is great as well

And now for a small update, it's not directly related to my Iron Warriors, but I'm working on a cityfight table for my local gaming club and I've been making street obstacles to litter the streets. Being a big fan of both Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists (i am also working on a pre-heresy Imperial Fists army) I made this for the table.




Hope you like it, it felt right to post a wrecked IF rhino on here

first off the sponge is a great idea, and just in time since tonight i finnaly have time to start repainting my rhinos.

i like the rhino, its not the blind me yellow everyone else uses with those panzies. love the undercoat effect showing through.
