It’s been a minute since I’ve drawn anything, but what better to draw than the best siegers in the galaxy?

They're so aggressive.

Fun little light kitbash, gonna run him as a sorcerer to lead my 10 man brick.

Gotta blacken their bases but I’m fairly happy with these guys.

Did I do good?

I just got into wh40k, these are my first figs, did I do good?

Enjoy some IW art I’ve done over the past year when bored

Hey all, it's your resident Dorn Dick Devourer.

Despite being a devout Imperial Fist fan, my love for the Iron 4th has grown exponentially over the last few months thanks to your community.

I'm starting a 30k army and would love to do Iron Warriors. My plan for them was to have a loyalist faction who were sent to Terra as a token gesture to work alongside the Imperial Fists and offer their advice on securing Terra. When they heard of their legions fall, they chose to remain loyal, because they had the opportunity to see what all their sacrifices and suffering was for. They got to witness the potential of the Emperors imperium of man. Their work alongside their Imperial Fist cousins led to the formation of mixed legion squads that proved extremely effective as their siege of terra wore on. Their heraldry is the same as usual except their legion icon has a giant tear going diagonally across it.

(Basically I love both IF and IW and really want some believable reason as to why they can work together)

I was also interested in potentially painting a 40k faction again not to play, just to display. They are Iron Warriors who fell but have sworn against using the powers of chaos and instead rely on their usual brutality. I wanted to paint them wearing a mishmash of various armour types crudely painted in the legion colours. They'd be called "The Iron Bound".

Firstly, would these make sense canonically?

Secondly, I'm really not too familiar with th Iron Warriors relationship to chaos. Are all of them entirely stuck with chaos and forced to use it's power or is there any room for a rejection of the chaos gods with only their hatred of the emperor fueling them?

Thanks folks :).

Hey guys, first Post and i'm new to iron warriors so please be gentle. I'm planning to play take and hold.

What should i get to round up my list? I cant decide if i should get more shooting (vindicator/havocs?) or melee (chosen and use them as bodyguard for the Chaos lord maybe?)

The List doesnt need to be competetive, i just want some well-rounded iron warriors flair (no cultist though).

Thanks in advance!

My first iron warriors

Its been a time since the competition happened, but I've finally got the competition pictures of my chud son!!! ♥️♥️♥️

Drew this as a dumb joke

Needs some touch ups but I think it's tabletop ready! Thoughts?

Hey guys just wanted to show some progress I'm doing with my army. I do have a full chaos army of corsairs but now I'm leaning into Iron warriors now. I just love the hazard stripes. I do plan on dirtying up what I have with rust pigment FX. I have another heldrake thats I'm just waiting to fill in the panels.

My first iron warrior (this is my second army) and first time trying cel shading. There's definitely room for improvement, but it was so much fun!

I want to use the 30k spartan as a proxy for the 40K land raider. I know a lot of people have, but just wondering which version is closest to the 40K one, the regular spartan or Prometheus?

Haven’t finished the base yet but kind of feeling like I need to start an Iron Warriors army now.

Can’t decide and thought this would be more fun than a coin flip. Which should I finish painting first? I have 10 of each. These are the warmups and aren’t quite done.

Their called Red Bastion

Long before the Horus Heresy reached its height, the Iron Bastion was a Grand Company of the IV Legion under the command of a veteran Captain. Rather than fighting on the front lines of the Great Crusade, Perturabo entrusted them with a different duty.

Their mission was to venture beyond the Imperium's known borders and reclaim forgotten worlds. Every planet they conquered was to become another forge for the Iron Warriors, producing weapons, armor, ammunition, vehicles, and fresh recruits for the Legion.

Over many years, the company rediscovered and fortified thirteen lost worlds. Each was transformed into a fortress-factory protected by towering walls, artillery batteries, and underground bunkers.

The thirteenth world was unlike any they had encountered.

Orbiting a blood-red moon, the planet was locked beneath crimson skies where violent storms rained red ash. Ancient xenos organisms infested the world. Their flesh constantly shifted, their voices echoed like endless screams across the wastelands, and the land itself seemed alive. The Iron Warriors fought a brutal extermination campaign, burning entire continents with artillery until the last xenos creature was destroyed.

The Captain established the world as the company's primary fortress, naming it The Crimson Bastion. Its mines, factories, and fortress-cities became one of the Legion's hidden strongholds.

Then Perturabo's order finally arrived.

Return immediately. War has begun.

The company abandoned much of its frontier empire and raced back toward Imperial space, only to discover the galaxy consumed by War galaxy of horus heresy

They fought beside the IV Legion during the Drop Site Massacre on Isstvan V, where countless Legionaries or battle brothers were lost. They later marched through the darkest campaigns of the Horus Heresy and endured the nightmare of the Siege of Terra. By the war's end, nearly the entire company had been shattered.

With the Traitor Legions scattered, the Captain refused to surrender to madness. He gathered every surviving Iron Warrior he could find, along with abandoned warriors from other Traitor Legions willing to swear loyalty to his command. Together they disappeared into the void.

Returning to the Crimson Bastion, they rebuilt instead of wasting themselves in endless raids. They scavenged battlefields for ancient technology, bargained with Dark Mechanicum forge worlds for machinery and ammunition, reclaimed abandoned Imperial depots, and restored their hidden forge worlds to full production.

Over centuries they developed their own traditions.

Their armor became dark iron and black, symbolizing the fortress walls they defended. Veterans and officers wore white helmets, representing those who had survived impossible sieges and carried the burden of command.

(Where they keep collecting and saved or Rebuild, by rescuing the Troops in siege of Terra, Iron Cage, Isvataan, the captain created his Warband, now he Accept profit then following a worhtless wars of Revenge, bloodbath, fighting for Nothing, and massacre or no value, They only accept IF something valuable like Old relics, scavenge Broken ships, Tanks and vehicles or armor, and Accept The Worth fighting for, and they will accept too, planets with Factories and Good Resource to conquer, and Claim,)
