Horus Heresy: Iron Warriors Armoured Spearhead
First unit complete
To try to give myself some accountability to get this project done I thought I’d post up some updates of my progress. In time I’ll put up a post regarding the background and the basic force plane but for now I’m just happy that the first unit is complete.
Very cool and vibrant painting with a crisp finish. Love the glossy black shoulder pads and the clean, well highlighted armour. The basing material is a little understated but I think that is good: too many people over weather Iron Warriors and Imperial Fists to cover up bad paint jobs. Not a fan of doing chevrons as they are difficult but they came out very well on the rhino.
I do think the rims on the infantry could be different, they look too similar to the shoulder pad. Maybe a dark brown like Dryad Bark or Rhinox Hide?
Thanks. Yeah I may go for a brown tone on the base rim at some point. I’m going for a Tallarn type theme with the bases. These first two squads have quite basic bases, not vegetation as the planet was scorched. I’m gong to add some variety to the next bases and have pick up some third party bases for the speeder, jet bikes etc.
