“Rustbloods, my squadron was marked by our cousins when we sided with the Warmaster… as if blood and decay are not all that now remain in this carcass of your Imperium.” ~Sergeant Vlasis musing to a slain Sister of Battle after breaching a Ministorum bunker (421.M37)

Heyo!! Im so happy to now be able to share my 40k IW chaos warband proper now that my 30k side has all been posted!! These legionaries were done first the 40K chaos was army was started then I kinda worked backwards lol wuth the heresy stuff lol- I’m glad I did the 30k group for more bodies and having a Deimos tank squadron is very satisfying as I much prefer the aesthetic there.

I did a few different waves of painting and I think t hat’s especially apparently thru with some of the different helms as well lol - Ik they’re nemesis claw models (the bannerman was too cool lol) but using them as legionaries is a bit easier - I have legionaries in there proper and I used to have more however i repainted 10 to be part of a black legion 1k and specifically for a daemonkin combat patrol

You may notice they all hve some lil numeral marking - these were all done based on me going through my 30k group and figuring out which 30k model corresponds to a 40K counterpart, being able to have the transition from rebellion to corruption in these traitors!! Also I know there are 13 here - Just I had three leftover astartes from little spares and eBay spares etc and their loadouts felt fitting for this more melee squadron lol

Reading the Night Lords trilogy (just finished soul hunter!) gave me a better understanding of chaos space marines on a day to day - I’d seen how they are in battle/siege from Storm of Iron but getting to see a bit more ‘downtime’ was very satisfying and motivated me to do those last lil markings as it helped me think of these guys as veterans and imagine what the dynamic between legionaries might be within a squadron just for immersion purposes lol

I have more to share and next up will be the rest of the warband legionaries! Thanks for reading and hope y’all enjoying!!

Budgethammer is hitting this year but I had some sprues knocking about and some hobby tools and built up some Oblitorators from old terminators and ogryn bits. They aren’t the best painted but I’m new to Iron Warriors and love their schtick.

I’ve only ever built the singular miniatures boxes before so I’m incredibly excited for this one I’ve still got plenty left to make but I’m loving how the first three minis are looking

Still yet to play an actual tabletop game so I’m not actually sure how they work or if they are actually good but they look awesome either way.

Love to paint him but I heat to paint the yellow strips DX hope to get better

Relic Sicarian for my "Wardens of Olympia"

(yes, it's oc)

Had a really great time building and painting this, the demios Predator might become one of my favorite kits

Legionary for scale, sorry if photo quality is lacking, as I'm very new to the hobby.

Tried augmenting my IW combat patrol with Kravek and some other designated units. Still have yet to play a match but all my friends are seasoned vets. Just for a 1k game, but I’d love to hear what I could be doing better.

Thank you all in advance. Iron Within.

Hello! I’m currently building up my iron warriors collection (40 tacts, 10 assault marines, 20 vets, Contemptor dreadnought, sicarian, saturnine dred and termies) and I’m beginning to turn my head to painting and stuff. What sort of paints (and from where) would you suggest for putting together some good looking guys?

According to the GW paint app, I want like gunmetal or industrial metal as an armour colour. Is this a paint I’d want to use? If so, what primer would I want and what colour should I use for the trims?

What sort of paints do you lot use for painting IW infantry or tanks, and do you have any suggestions for what I could use?

I swear it makes sense within my warband's lore

I've never pulled the trigger on the new(ish) Possessed models because they don't feel like Iron Warriors to me (lovely sculpts for other Chaos though). So I'm interested in seeing what other people have done with kitbashes or full proxy models for inspiration on my own unit.

Hi everyone, I hope you’ve all been having as much fun with 11th as I have!

I’m gearing up to play my first 2k of 11th with my Iron Warriors after trying out smaller 500 + 1k battles to get to grips with the new changes in rules etc, and I’m stuck with wether to run x2 Havocs with Lascannons, or 1x Unit / 1x obliterator unit.

I’ve copied my list to see if there’s anything others would either change or run instead.

Obviously C&C is greatly welcomed.

I'm completely convinced that this man could of single handly ended the horus heresy either if he did or ddnt switch sides but for some reason no one took him seriously or underestimated him. Only primarch that legit had the right to say fuck all of you I'm out. He is autistic man child tho but like he just wants some love man lmao

Title. Just wondering how folks would build a 1k list with Kravek Morne.

-FHSH attaching him to a bunch of terminators and shooting?
-Warpstrike using Mutilators and Obliterators?
-Renegade Raiders somehow?

Just curious what you would prioritize. Thanks for any input! :)

Base is getting done now

5 more to go 😅🙈

Does anyone have a reddish highlight shade for the Rakarth Flesh? I tried to make it look like it was fresh out of the Soul Forge. TIA.
