Iron Warriors, Traitor Guard, Dark Mechanicus, Warhound, Demons, oh my!

[Dingareth]

I figured I should compile all my one off threads into one paint log, so hopefully this will compel me to do more than a few models at a time from now on. *Just a bit of background- I've been playing for 10 years now, but just started painting within the last year. *I started this army because I wanted a Warhound, but the Imperial ones were just too plain. *However, the Chaos book never really inspired me, so my local group sat down and figured out a nice counts as relationship between the Space Wolf, Demon Hunters, and Witch Hunters books that make a suitable Chaos army. *And so, I began slaving away:

So far I've got painted:

Iron Warriors:

Long Fang Squad

A few Grey Hunters:

Dark Mechanicus:

Servitors- both ranged and close combat, fill in for a variety of roles:

Dark Magos- counts as an Inquisitor for right now:

And lastly, my Warhound, named Franklin by my girlfriend :rolleyes:

I'll get more comprehensive pictures in the morning, but seeing how it's 5 am right now, I feel that sleep should come before I attempt to paint more or handle anything electronic!

Hope you enjoyed my work so far, I have a lot more to go, so stay tuned!

Great idea mate, loving the pose of the hound's legs!

also great plans on "picking and choosing" your army list, thats the way a themed army should be done. ok, it might only be apocalypse legal, but you said it was mainly for the warhound so when would you play anything smaller?!?! :D

i'll be watching this with great interest!

[fuzzbuket]

wow those servitors and the hound are AMAZING.
and using SW dex not cause its the best but cause it gives flavour is somthing all these "my smurfs are BA cause ba are better but surfs are ba?" lists!!

[therealjohnny5]

digging it my man. really like the pose on the legs...

[entendre_entendre]

The one thing that would make your Warhound's feet even cooler would be to have crew trying (and failing) to scramble out of the vehicle while its being crushed.

Look forward to seeing further completion.

Just a quick update, had planned to have more done, but got distracted by the girlfriend last night.

Just another Iron Warrior, I've got 5 more PIP:

And here's the test scheme for my traitor guard. I want them to look dirty, and I think the yellow really goes well with my shade of metal. Let me know, I plan on working on the next 4 tonight after finishing the Marines and Skittarri.

Also, got some work on Franklin's base done, none of the pictures came out very well though.

[Dingareth]

And for the hell of it, I decided to make a Storm Raven:

Keep in mind it's really WiP, just about 4 hours put into the project so far. It's described as a small Thunderhawk, so I figured I would go about making a Thunder Chicken. Sorry about the TERRIBLE picture, just snapped one on my phone as I was on my way to class. Sorry about the lack of updates, I've been up to my neck in school, work, girlfriend and unfortunately... Modern Warfare 2.

[Dingareth]

Well, school has had me distracted from my painting; however, I did sit down and upgrade my old Company Command Squad for my Death Korp. Here's the old squad:

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y23/DinGareth/Death%20Korp/DSCN0505.jpg

5 guys and a Mortar. Not that impressive.

Here's the new one:

4 Plasmaguns, Plasma Pistol and Power Weapon, and a Master of the Fleet. They're expensive, but deadly!

[person person]

The yellow could use some darkening down on the traitor guard guy. Really like the blue on the Death Korps.

Good luck with the Warhound!

[Dingareth]

Annnnnddddd, I'm not dead, merely had half my foot replaced with a prosthetic. Iron within, Iron without eh?

I've got a couple pictures of my army from BoLScon this year, gracias to Tasty Taste for the pictures:


Army shot:

Stupid crooked Storm Raven, the thing was too heavy for the pin I put in the flight stand, so I was constantly trying to right it up all weekend.

Close up of the Furioso, Libby, Priest, and Assault Squad

Decent shot of a 5 man Assault Squad, Razorback, Baal, and Dread.

They were rushed, but I think the army works well overall. Thanks for looking!

[Porty1119]

...wow!!! That's flippin' amazing!!! Great, loving the Chaos StormRaven!! :D

[Dingareth]

Thanks man, I've got back and have started to re-do it, the plasticcard work got a little shoddy as the tourney got closer!

[Shadow Queen]

Where's the possessed trunk monkey?

Nice looking Army there?

[Dingareth]

Here's a picture of some newly completed stuff that I did up for Da Boyz GT, including 10 Wolf Guard, some Long Fangs, new Razorback turrets, 2 new more Predators, a few new special weapons, and 2 Land Speeders.

Army shot: (out of focus, but oh well, I didn't take it)

Just wanted to say nice work. Solid looking and wonderfully thematic. Kudos.

[Firebird]

Well first, I love the creativity of the conversions.

But honestly I do not like count as army's in which you take a current army and turn it into another ie...My chaos book stinks lets use BA or some other book...

But all said in done great paint jobs!

[MasterSlowPoke]

Yes, the army would be way fluffier if you had a ton of plague marines and sorcerors roaming around.

Thank you! They do look better on nice terrain like that though, so it's not all my doing.

It's been fun trying to figure out how to wiggle everything into Chaos terms, the Vanguard I use are Blood Letters with Harpy Wings- seeing how I can't exactly picture Iron Warriors jumping around on Jump Packs. That said, I really only use painted pieces to game with, and make sure my army is WYSIWYG, so I haven't ran into more than a handful of people who have seemed perturbed by the whole "counts-as" thing. And to them my answer is just simply: My money, my time, my toys. But it's only come to that once or twice in 2 years of using them though.

Although, at Da Boyz GT, my Space Wolf counts as Chaos, Goatboy's Space Wolf counts as Chaos Goats, and MBG's Imperial Guard counts as Orks all were setting up our armies the first day on the same table, and more than a few people were confused by the amount "count as" going on on one table.

My thoughts exactly. That and I don't like Obliterators (models, fluff, and rules), which leaves me with a boring army to play, and to play against when using the Chaos book.

Also, today I'm planning on repairing my Warhound, which took a little bit of a beating when I moved to my new apartment over the summer. Haven't touched it since unfortunately...
