In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.
Over the past couple of days, I have been working on some more of the Iron Warriors that have been hanging around here. It was really nice to get some more of them done and in the cabinet. This time, it was the terminators! They did not need too much touching up, and I feel that what I have done to them has made them pop a bit more.
I really like the ones with missiles on their backs! I think they are my favourites so far in this group!
It has been a long time since I have painted or worked on any of the Iron Warriors that I bought last year. Seeing how the new Horus Heresy game shall be released in the not too distant future, I would work on them and try and get the majority of them done before then. That way, when I have all the new miniatures, I won’t have a ton to get through – that’s the theory anyway.
I have worked on a lot of the infantry, and now most of them are finished. I split them into two groups – quick and longer. The quick ones just needed dusting off, touching up and some additional highlights adding in.
The longer ones have bladed weapons that need a bit of blending work doing on them, so they have been placed in a different queue and are awaiting their final work.
Next, I shall be working on dreadnoughts and a fixing one of the fliers that was broken in transit.
Here is my work so far:
I have begun the task of fixing up and touching up some of the Iron warriors. I’ve decided to focus on the infantry to begin with and have been doing one a day. So far it’s been good fun.
One task was to repair the casualties, which was just a case of matching the bits to the broken minis and regluing them.
Five need pinning but that can happen at a later time. Here are the finished ones.
I am enjoying this project greatly, and doing one a day is a surprisingly quick way to get through them. 84 left to go!
Then vehicles… yikes.
I recently bought an Iron Warriors from a friend in Europe. Mostly to help them out rather than because I needed them.
When they arrived, they had sustained severe damage during transit, which was disappointing. One of the tanks in particular was in quite poor condition due to the damage it sustained.
I am not an expert with resin, so I got in touch with one for advice and help. Leaky_cheese to the rescue!
So, instead of despair and a pile of broken bits, I now have a project. I will be painting one Iron Warrior a day from the infantry, and Cheese will be helping me fix the bigger stuff.
I have already started – here is the Iron warrior I touched up today.
I have a lot to do, and it is a shame they sustained the damage, but with a bit of time and effort, they’ll be great!
Heretic Deb!
