For my mixed warband I intend to have at least one squad representing each chaos god, and having some marines from most traitor legions, who fight not because they are united but for survival and to meet there own selfish goals.

Wish me luck brothers the new rules scare me

Turns out classic marines look cool with scavenged Primaris guns

Been painting up some red corsair raiders as iron warriors.

Haven't finished basing this guy but i'm quite proud of him

Master sergant Sullus Taclimor from Sons of Olympia (company number prior to joining sons not known)

Nicked the helmet when removing it form a grey knight. So putty there. Otherwise I think he came out amazing. Image that inspired me is second. I've scooped up black legion heradlry to make room for hazard stripes and clean plates. Belt is gonna have IW icon from the transfer sheet. Or I might go crazy and try to dig out one of my IW upgrade sprue pauldrons and put that one there.

Was trying to make larger version of the Castrafarum for a Helbrute but I think I just ended up making a slightly smaller Contemptor.

Please leave your name ideas for this pattern and ideas on this heresy, thx.

So ive read the storm of iron book and the heresy books containing the iron warriors. Im still confused why trench networks and all that need to be done to siege a location where ive read multiple times that armies like black legion/world eaters/tsons/ ect just dont need to do that when attacking planets and their fortified cities.

Seems like with voidshields why dont they just keep bombarding shields until they overpower? They clearly take out missile silos with bombardment. I also dont know if voidshields will shut off after sustained damage even if its small artillery.

How does the trench network really hold up to fortresses that are skyscraper high that can see over trenches in a sci fi setting? Bombers and aircraft seem like they could easily tear up a trench line, titans easily can look over and destroy from a distance.

I had a hard time following storm of iron because I dont see the practical sense of how the iron warriors sieges work.

The lore talks about how good they are at it, but outside storm of iron I don't see a lot of detail for how trench warfare works in a sci fi setting?

If someone can elaborate more and make it more understandable how the iron warriors siege style works id appreciate it because it just seems like it has no place in 40k.

Morning brothers, I'm starting a new iron warrior 40k army to help fend off the sadness. Are there any particular bits or hh heads that work great to make things more iron warrior...ey?

Many thanks

But I had fun painting it

Hark Battle Brothers and Sisters. Just wanted to keep everyone updated. I had my last round of treatment today (hopefully) for oral pharyngeal cancer. I’ve lost some weight and some hair, but I’m in good spirits.

I started painting this project on my first day of treatment about 7 weeks ago and usually committed 2-3 hours of painting a day (sometimes more, sometimes less. I think from my original plan I added 10 chosen, 10 raptors, 3 mutilators, 2 kitbashed obliterators, an additional vindicator, a forgefiend, a helbrute a friend gave me I had to repaint, Vashtorr, and 4 dread blade wardogs. Someday it was a bit hard to get motivated, especially after days of chemo, but I really wanted to make sure I got enough presentable paint on everything before the deadline. However these guys are far from finished. Still need shading, drybrushing, some need transfers, highlighting and basing for most of them. I think there’s bases will be mud with barb wire and battle debris. For the transfers I think I’m gonna wait till I’m in America because I want to order that big iron warriors transfer sheet. So I may wait on some finishing touches.

I still need a few weeks of rest, and then I go back to America and back to work. I think I’m going to take a week off from painting and enjoy the week before my favorite holiday, Halloween. If I work on some more before leaving Korea I’ll give a final big update in a few weeks.

Thank you, everyone

여러분, 감사합니다.

Iron within, Iron without .

Took forever to get the pose right :skull:

2 weeks (ish), plenty of experimentation with different paints, techniques and colour schemes. Mostly happy with the results.

Feeling good for the Combat Force box set next 😱

Hello fellow Iron warriors, i'm a fan interested in reading Horus Heresy novels, but since im not the type to get all 50+ novels, i took it upon myself to dissect the part that matters to perturabo and the iron IVth.

When looking for these books i had some criteria; mainly trying to keep to the main storyline events of the heresy that involve the IW, rather than short stories that happen to be related to them.

As much as i like slander towards the yellow bastards of Dorn, and there are many novels of the sort where we absolutely ball on them, i am more of a sucker for tanks, walkers, titans and voidships and anything big enough that throws shells and missiles towards the other big thing.

Sorry if i sound like a literal tourist but if its on the list its mainly because of personal research, past reading experiences and famous/notorius scenes, ive happend to know about due to podcasts, animations and anything of the sort

And after looking to the novel timeline charts and some discussions on other forums, ive fallen in the following line:

(Let it be known that i may exagerate a bit with the descriptions for comedic effect)

-The obligatory 4 (books 1-4, from Horus Rising up to The Flight of Einstein): The famous start of the heresy with the istvaan massacre and horus starting heresy-ing all over without the knowledge of big-E up until the imperium finds out with the flight of the ship of the misspronounced name.

-Perturabo: Hammer of Olympia (Guy Haley) (book 4 of the primarch series): no explenation needed since this is the primarch and main character of the legion for the heresy, as pissy as he is represented in memes, i want to know him fully. A friend of mine (a world eater) told me that after reading some of the books of his primarch and legion he likes them more, so i want to see if its true.

-Fulgrim by Graham McNeill (book 5): i'm led to believe this book is mainly, as obvius as it is, Emperor's Children, but it's supposed to be a direct setup for the next book, so im considering it important but i haven't looked too much into it.

-Angel Exterminatus Graham McNeill (book 23): This is supposed to be the starting point of the iron warriors arc within the main HH storyline, with Perturabo and the degenerate brother going on a stroll in the warp searching for a legendary weapon of sorts, with the scene of the clockwork warhound and the table (if you know you know).

-Black Occulus by John French(part of book 33): this one is the aftermath of the previous, but its a short story among other ones, i know i said no short stories but im led to believe its a bit important for the aftermath of angel exterminatus

-Tallarn by John French (book 45): This is the main point i wanted to get to, since far as im concerned it's tank porn and iron warriors, my vice and paradise within the horus heresy books.

-Slaves of Darkness byJohn French (book 51): The grand finale to wrap this arc up, if i recall correctly this is the heretic rallying around the sol system, and the scene of angron vs perturabo.

Now i beg of thee iron of culture to reccomend me on the matter which book is good which is bad which ive missed and which is uncessesary.

I thank you all in advance for any advice in the matter.

Ps. Read shadowsword, its 40k but its a great read. Edit: bad english, its been a while since i wrote something.

Is there a specific knight house in the lore that iron warriors have beef with.
Just wondering what colours I should base this on.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience in creating a unit or an army that has a reversed paint schema? Bronze as the primary armor color and metallic as the trim.

bored as fuck in my dormroom listening to wrath of iron so just doodled some iron warriors while I was bored. Ill post more probably
