Iron Warriors second tactical squad

 Here is the final pics of my second IW tactical squad. So the infantry section is on 2/3 and the army is on a half done now.

And I would take a break and return to some DA test minis.

Iron Warriors Veteran Sergeant

I happy to intriduce to you a Iron Warriore veteran sergeant Covisus. The second squad is completed now, so I'll show them all very soon becase I need to do little repainting and take new photos.

Iron Warriors power ax

 Iron Warriors return to the NMMonday. The secornd squad's sergeant is almorst done, I just need to coplete his arm with the power axe. And traditionally I make IW ax blades according to the simplest NMM recipe: black + white.

And here is a sergeant for my second IW tactical squad. So very this quest start the another level) but now is the time to paint a shield for my DA breacher.

Yellow-Black chevrons part 2

Yellow and Black Chevrons, Part 2

In this part, I would like to explain a little more how and why this method of drawing chevrons is used.

16th Iron Warrior.

One more Iron Warrior to Iron Warriors god.

Another Iron Warrior WIP

Iron Warriors half squad

 Iron Warriors half squad freshly added to my upcoming army

One more Iron Warrior

Legionnary Geronis - vexilary of the2nd tactical squad 3rd line company XCV Grand Batallion. 15th painted Iron Warrior for my "IW infantry section" project. 11 is still left.
Same colors as in the recent time, painted by Pacific88 Art-Color paints.

Iron Warriors again

Legionnire Gaius from 3rd line company XCV Grand Battalion. He wears customized MK5 armor suit and uses 'roguetrader' pattern bolter :-) Btw his backpack will be replaced with MK6 commlink backpack once I'll get it. 

Iron Warriors WIPs

One more Iron Warriors legionnaire

Legionnaire Teur is an example of the Iron Warriors. Just a faceless killing machine, without any  remarkable features. But he is survive long enough to get an appointment to the third company. Born on a same planet as veteran sergeant Teron so he would be the first candidate to lead squad if Teron become the centurion.

One more Iron Warriors legionnaire attached to the XCV Grand Battalion. Second in this year and third to the current Tactical Squad. I think there is a visible step forward in quality thanks to the experiments with maodern style of the NMM

One more Iron Warrior

 The first Iron Warrior, painted in 2018. It turned out to be noticeably darker than the previous one, mainly due to differences in the MKII and MKIV armor. In armor MarkIV shoulder pads and torso look much more "modest" than in MKII.
Moreover, on this legionary, I added a little more satin shine in the shadows, thereby increasing the contrast and do a deeper colors. For this I used the glazing by mix of Smokey Ink (VGC) and matte black. Matte black in the mix was needed in order to adjust the shine level.

Первый Железный Воин, покрашенный в 2018. Он получился заметно темнее, чем предыдущий, в основном  из-за различий в доспелах II и IV модели. В доспехе МК4 наплечники и торс выглядят куда "скромнее" версии МК2.
Крогме того, на этот легионере я добавил чуть больше сатинового блеска в тенях, увеличив тем самым контраст и сделав цвет глубже. Для этого я использовал глазировки смесьи Smokey Ink (VGC) и матового черного.  Матовый черный в смеси был нужен для того, чтоб регулировать уровень блеска.

Iron Warriors legionary. Again.

Legionnaire Athlon 3rd Line Company of the XCV Grand Batallion. 

Legionnaire Athlon was the offspring of one of the aristocratic families at Olympia before becoming a warrior of the IV Legion. Athlon distinguished himself with arrogance and when the Tyrant of the XCV grand battalion ordered all Olympian legionnaires to engrave their armour with Olympian ornaments this legionnaire engrave far more gliphs than he was supposed to be on status. Perhaps the legionary Athlone will survive long enough to deserve them.

When painting the previous squad of Iron Warriors, I was confronted with the fact that each next miniature became slightly brighter than the previous one. The first models I tried to withstand in more darker colors, which coincides with the fluff of the fourth legion, but they turned out to be very faceless.
After that, I began to paint the legionnaires brighter and added more bronze elements and yellow-black chevrons. And the miniatures began to get more brughter and interestning.
I liked much how the miniature looks at the WIP stages, but when I glued all parts after painting, it turned out that it looked too clean and bright for the Iron Warrior. At the end of the ponts, I forced to make a few dark gray glazes to muffle the brightness and add more dark brown in the shade. Also I added a bit of rust and  battledamage to the armor.
Unfortunately, such manipulations have somewhat spoiled the clearness and smoothness of painting, but the model has become closer to rest Iron Warriors I painted.

Легионер Атлон, 3я линейная рота, XCV Гранд-батальон.

Легионер Атлон являлся отпрыском одной из аристократических семей на Олимпии перед тем как стал воином IV легиона. Атлон отличаслся высокомерностью и когда Тиран XCV гранд батальона повелел всем легионерам-олимпийцам нанести олимнийские орнаменты на свои доспех легионер нанес их куда больше, чем ему полагаось по статусу. Возможно легионер Атлон проживет достаточно долго, чтобы заслужить их. 

При покраске предыдущего отряда Жезезных Воинов я столкулся с тем, что каждая следующая миниатюра становилась немного ярче предыдущей. Первые модели я старался выдержать в более мрачяных тонах, что совпадает с бэком четвертого легиона, но они получались очень безликими.
После этого, я стал красить легионеров ярче и добавлял быльне бронзовый элементов и желто-черных шевронов. И миниатюры стали получаться более зрелишными.
Эта миниатюра очень хорошо смотрелась в процессе покраски, но когда я совместил элементы, оказалось, что она выглядил слищком уж чисто и ярко для Железного Воина. В конце понцов мне пришлось сделать несколько темно-серых глазировок, чтобы приглушить яркость и добавить больше темно-коричневого в тени. Так же в конце я добавил немного ржавчины и повреждений на доспех.
К сожалению, подобные манипуляции несколько подпортили чистоту и плавнось покраски, но зато модель стала меньше выбиваться из рада себе подобных.

Iron Warriors Veteran Sergeant

Legionary Teron, 3rd line Company XCV Grand Battalion.

Veteran Sergeant Teron - one of the most experienced legionaries under the command of the 95th Great Battalion's Tyrant. Only non-Olympic origins prevented him in his career. Now, however, when, after the betrayal Tyrant's officers resources decreased significantly, Teron will probably be the first in line at the command post.
Sergeant Teron armed with Terran pattern power axe and wears Artificer armor based on MKII pattern.

Iron Warriors XCV's Master of Signal

  Hello, Everyone!
This is first painted character for my Iron Warriors XCV Grand Batallion project.
Master of Signal Marcus Turnius  from 1st Armored Centuria.
"Born not on Terra nor Olympia Centurion Marcus Turnius was one of most skilled as Communication Officer in XCV Grand Battallion. But thanks to his origins he was more commonly attached with Centuria's armored reinforcement for line companies than as part of  Forge Lord Ariston's command squad"

P.S, I look for someone who can be an owner of this my big project ;-)

Iron Warriors assault marine

This assault marine I started paint as test piece last summer. I did around 30% of work and forgot about him. And only now I got enough interest to return and finish him. 

a simple basing tutorial part1

Меня пару раз спрашивали как я делал подставки к своим Железным Воинам, и это вылилось в небольшой постадийный гайд

Some people asked me how I did bases for my Iron Warriors and this resulted in this small step-by-step guide. And yes my English is bad so used Google translator to do the Elglish version

P.S, Hallo linnebjerg_! How are you?

One more Iron Warriors legionary
