Iron Warriors Rhino done

I had my good friend Ben over last weekend for my first game of 10th ed which was awesome. The game feels very different, but since I'm so out of touch, it could be I'm just getting mixed up with older editions as to when particular things became non issues. Anyway, it was good to throw down my Iron Warriors against his Grey Knights. We played a stripped down game, and learned a lot. We also got some painting done, Ben did a cracking job on one of my Slaaneshi knights - I'll share photos once I've finished the base and I got one and a half Rhinos done - here's a small video of the first.

Dire Wolf WIP #1

There's some paint on this one! I have the full kit printed, just need to do some brush work before I start gluing it all together. As with my other titans, the scheme is Heresy era Legio Mortis. This will be making it's way to Apocalypticon too.

Pleasure all Knight!

I need more knights to support the Iron Warriors, and Evanogainen has released a proxy for the Hellknight. I've built two as per the supplied files, and customised a third to look more like one of the Epic 40k originals, photos of that later. Note both of these are missing a thigh armour piece, for some reason these were detached in the STL, so need to be glued in place later. I've also assembled another 2 Hellstriders - two like the last pair but resin printed, with better legs, and 2 with a different gun, again more like the original Epic ones.

Iron Warrior Rhino Variants

For Apocalypticon, I need a few Rhinos to make the deploying of my infantry quicker and easier - I'm taking quite a bit of it! The easy solution is deploy in transports, and of course I like to tinker and make them more Iron Warriorish. Therefore here are a mix of straight builds, digital kitbashes and conversion in progress pics of some Rhinos I found on Cults 3d. I have quite a few more underway, so pics as they come. Rules wise, these are just straight up Rhinos.


A Rhino ARV and Mineplough.



A Logistics Rhino, this one is quite a bit longer than the norm. The Imperial BT emblems  need to go and be replaced with IW skulls.


Assembly line - AVLB, Plow and 3 yet to be seen variants

While printing the bridge for the AVLB, I have a couple of failures, so I spliced them together, to make a deployed version. The bases will be replaced with printed ones, but they are needed to raise the hinge in the middle oft the ground. I still need to finish the GS work.

Apocalypticon Dark Mech

These will be operated by my mate Ben, who will be using them as the foot troops accompanying Legio Mortis. I've gone with a spider leg theme for my Dark Mech, and much of the infantry will ultimately be from 3rd party bits I collect from some boutique firms who no longer seem to offer them.


Two Stratoraptors, both with a hint of Nurgle, one awaiting tail fins.
