Iron Warrior HQ's

Hello guys,

So during the post 6k blues I went about trying to make loads of different Centurions and Consuls.

So the top dude is my champion. Very pleased with him, and he usually lives with the command squad, especially given they're meant to look similar. His sword and shield are both from shapeways, I really wanted his sword to look Greek or ancient world, just another thing to make him stand out.

The second is a Vigilator. I random choice but I had lots of bits and I liked the idea of an artillery spotter for my IW. I've used him a couple times and he's done meh. Rule wise he's cool but isn't going to change the course of the Heresy. However I love the model and the logic behind him so he gets used!

What about you guys? What is your favourite Consul?

Thanks

JB

Autocannon Iron Havocs

Hello Guys,

Another squad for my IW.

So these were my 2nd squad ever for Heresy. At this time I was mixing marks of armour, but quickly changed my mind thinking try to keep the marks the same per army. So my IW are MK3 except for 5 melta gun marines, and these 10 Iron Havocs. Anyway, Autocannons are my favourite weapons in Warhammer. I've always loved them from when I used to use them in my Steel Legion to now with the IW.

Havocs were originally BS4 which is good, especially with tank hunters, however once the update happened and they went to BS5 they became a must. I had them when they were BS4 and they still performed, but now they are a real game changer. Str7 is great for shooting everything (except land raiders) and I love the versatility. I'll put up my other two heavy weapon squads, one devastator with Volkite Culverins and one Havoc with missiles, once they're re painted.

Thanks

Iron Warriors Command Squad

Hello folks,

So once you hit about 6K in a Heresy army you usually do two things.

1) Plan another army with which to feed your addiction.
2) Buy and make more mad stuff you never planned on having.

My Iron Warriors are testimony to both, as the Blood angels and World Eaters kicked off around then, and I also started converting and making models that I never planned.

So I made these guys...

I'm really happy with these chaps, they were just a challenge to make something cool and I'm happy so mission accomplished. Happy with the poses and how they look, another favourite of mine.

The weapons and shields are from Shapeways- POP Goes the Monkey. The selection is excellent and new stuff goes up very regularly, lots of Legion and 40k stuff. They also have a huge selection of shoulder pads for lesser known legions 2nd founding onward. Who knows I might finally get to do a Blood Raven army.

The reason behind the spears was that my IW are themed as Greeks (yes the shields are Roman, sue me) as the IW are from the planet "OLYMPIA". It doesn't get more Greek than that. 

Rule wise, they do okay. The banner is excellent for the fearless bubble in melee, and the bonus wound is more useful than you'd think. The only negative is that the squad cant buy boarding shields, only combat. It's fine really, I just have to be super hot on my rules as to not disadvantage my opponent with the defensive grenade rules.

Thanks again

My first Predator

Okay so first thing is, this was my first predator...ever. Like ever. I had an old old plastic one that my dad got me when I was little, but it was unpainted, had no sponsons on account of them being snapped off, and no turret, that went walkies long before it came to me. So this gunmetal bad lad was to be the first of many.

Currently I have 2 preds in my Iron Warriors now, with plasma and conversion beaters. I've used both but I personally much prefer the Beamer. It feels very IV legion to just sit back and melt people from 48-72 inches away! Both weapons were magnetised so I could chose my fancy on the day ?
Love the tank and it's joined the already full ranks of my IW, it's got a lot of tanks, but after doing two of these I want more! I have a lot of tanks for the IV but I think the next thing would be some more land raiders. I have 2 now, one Achilles alpha and one old old plastic block (you know the one, looks like the old remote control car that one friend of yours had). So I'd say 2-3 Mkii b's...we'll see. But hey there are always more World Eaters to be done, bad JB! Focus on one legion at a time...oh and maybe I should finish those Skitarii...

Thanks folks
JB
