Hello Everyone!
I'm back to show you my next completed Iron Hands unit the infamous Gorgon Terminators!
The Gorgons were one of the first units I started for my Iron hands army a long time ago now. I recently decided they needed a revamp as I used to use the Runefang Steel as the battle damage effect, however, the scheme has since involved into using it as both a highlight and a battle damage effect.
Slightly different lighting for this photo because the sliver gorgets really catch the light and almost dazzle you on group shots.
This did take some time as I had to completely revamp the Runefang Steel and effectively start it all over again. This time around I've tried to make the model look cleaner so there isn't as much battle damage but enough to make them look battle worn.
Because this was one of my first units, there are a few mistakes from when I built the kit, so I may go back and sort these at some point. A good example is the mold line on the thunder hammer which is actually sunken so I couldn't get to it very easily. To sort this I think I will just add green stuff to flatten it out and then repaint it.
I am also not completely happy with all of the poses and weapon options so I am planning to add another five gorgons with alternative weapons to add a bit of punch to the unit.
I am planning on using this unit as a body guard unit for Ferrus Manus, they will be relatively cheap and work as a unit that can absorb punishment while Ferrus smashes traitors. I'm hoping they will be very durable like the Meduson Immortals who survived a lot of enemy attacks at the Battle Bunnies christmas battle.
So there you have it! Let me know what you think to them and I'll be back soon with some Xenos related progress.... :)
Thanks again for reading!

Awesome looking unit! What are they like on the battlefield as thinking of adding a squad to my Salamanders for Shattered Legions!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew! I've played with them once and they didn't do a thing because they were stuck with Ferrus and too far away from the fighting. But they have similar defensive stats to the Medusan immortals and they were really tough. So I'm hoping they will perform in a similar way and absorb attacks.
ReplyDeleteYeah I've concluded that Vulkan and Firedrakes need a Spartan otherwise they aren't involved in a game!! Think a squad of Gorgons and Immortals are now on my list of units!!
DeleteYeah you're completely right. Ferrus and the Gorgons literally walked in one direction and then Horus deep striked behind our lines so he started to walk back, but then horus died so he achieved nothing!!! Haha
DeleteYeah I played one game where Vulkan and Firedrakes spent 2 turns walking across the battlefield! Luckily my opponents EC phoenix Terminators wanted a fight and met them halfway!!
DeleteThese look brilliant. You should be really proud of them. Awesome progress :)
ReplyDeleteThanks mate :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again I think they look fantastic. Love your scheme. I think you should add another 5. . . . Then do Santar!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Drake! I will add another five soon after I've bought my support marines and another contemptor! Then I will do Santar!
DeleteWhat do you have for infantry right now?
ReplyDeleteI have twenty marines for troops, I've posted one squad up already and I'm probably going to save the other squad until I've sorted transfers. When I get paid I'll also be starting on two five man support squads with plasmas and volkite calivers :)
DeleteAs well as your immortals and gorgans right?
DeleteYeah so twenty marines, 5 gorgons and ten meduson immortals. I also have a 5 man heavy support squad with autocannons but I'm going to go back and repaint the Runefang steel on them like my gorgons.
DeleteAlso a few vehicles that are pretty much finished bar transfers, so i'm hoping to do that when I next meet up with Kaelo and Drake for help applying them!
DeleteThese look great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Colonel!
DeleteThey are looking really good! Your Iron Hands are awesome!
ReplyDeleteCheers Darien :)
