Hello everyone :)
This is my first post just giving you a look at what I have completed so far for my Iron Hands Clan Company (bar a few transfers). I am going to be doing these posts on a gradual basis probably featuring a unit at a time. Tonight it's First Tactical Squad Maximin:
I personally really like giving my marines as much character as I can, so I'm a big fan of Forgeworld's upgrade sets for the legions. The Iron Hands squad really does give you a lot of variation with its unique arms and bionics, so I tried to make their poses as dynamic as I could.
I have also given my sergeants a plume on their helmets to demonstrate their authority, to do this I bought the Mk II command upgrade set and transferred the plume to a Mk III helmet. I just prefer the way the plume looks compared to the actual Mk III command helm :). The squads name comes from the surname of my captains first sergeant Alexander Maximin. I really liked how Loken's squads were named after their sergeants, so I'm going to use this too in my company. I'm hoping he can then become a character in the campaign and be my captains right hand man, like Nero was for Loken.
So I hope you like them, I do have my Iron Father finished and my Iron Captain Aveinus Kaane in the pipeline so I will keep sharing my company and it's progress with you all :). Oh and apologies for not having any display board, I need to invest in one!
Thanks again,
Aveinus Kaane
These dudes are really awesome Kaane!
ReplyDeleteLove the plasma-pistol - stunning blue =)
And no worries - you don't need a display board to show of your models, that can wait :)
Thank you :), it's a really simple technique for the blue i'll share it in a future post!
DeleteOh Aveinus. I do love your paint pallete. Your colours are so subtly different that they compliment each other so well. Absolutely love seeing your Iron Hands. Can't wait to see more of your works. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks again drake, I promise I have a lot to learn from you and the other battle bunnies! I'll do an overview post like Atia's in the future too.
DeleteThese are so beautiful! What I wouldn't give for my models to be just half as beautiful. I'll be waiting sleeplessly for pictures of your Iron Father avatar.. Can't wait!
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry.. Misread it.. Your Iron Captain* Avatar! Can't wait for both, though!
DeleteReally really appreciate the feedback Zyntax! I've just got to pick up a few bits for him when I get paid to try and figure out what works :)
DeleteJust like the Lady says the blue works so well. The colour scheme really gives the marines that bulky, powerful stature they should have. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the feedback! The kit is great for making the legionaries look powerful and cold like the Iron Hands should be. The straight arms allow you to make them look as though they are striding forwards scaring the hell out of the Purokar League :P
DeleteLooks awesome! I love how individual each model feels. So stoked the bunnies have swollen in size so much, now we get our hobby fix every single day!
ReplyDelete:P more Shattered Legions action tomorrow ^.^
DeleteIs that a rumour? ;)
DeleteThanks Tom! Yes lots of great content, I'm as stoked as you are haha!
DeleteCan you do a quick painting guide?
ReplyDeleteYeah of course it's a really simple scheme, i'll put it together for a post next week :)
DeleteLook fantastic Kaane! Exactly how I picture the Pre-Heresy Iron Hands. Will be cool to read about their exploits in the coming campaign.
ReplyDeleteCheers Kaelo :) I'll try and write some background for the clan as soon as I have figured out its structure!
