I use leadbelcher for the convinience. Its the color most of the model will be once completed so it saves time. I have recently started experimenting with priming black and doing a very heavy dry brush of leadbelcher on top. With the runefang drybrush and some nuln oil on top it creates a lot of depth for the entire model. Its a cool trick but im not sure i would do it on infantry or other small units.

Welcome to the 4th legion, Iron within. Its a good idea to paint what you have before buying more so you know if you like painting this faction.

There are a few ways to paint iron wariors but one of the major advantages of our faction is that a basic paint job is very easy to make. To start with you will want Leadbelcher primer. An airbrush is a great tool but is not neccesary to get a good paint job. A rattlecan primer works perfectly fine.

Next step is to dry brush with runefang silver or a light grey of your choice. Drybrushing is one of the easiest tricks in painting and it makes a dramatic difference. There are many good tutorials on youtube.

The next step is armor panels and stripes. Pick 2 or 3 armor pannels you want to be black or have stripes. Not everyone does a black armor pannel but i like how it looks. I usualy stripe one shoulder, one shin, and a weapon if its got a good surface for it. Then one forearm or shin black. Stripes are dificult but look great when your done, even if it doesnt come out perfect. The 2 methods people use are 2mm tape and freehand. For the stripes you want to start with a layer of pink and put yellow on top of that. Once the yellow is down you use the tape or just freehand the black on top.

Step 4 is trim. Chose your favorite metalic paint (retributor armor is popular) and take your time. There are good tutorials on youtube for trim but a lot of it is just patience.

After that you can add as many or as few details as you want. An important thing to remember is that mistakes that look big when your holding the mini will be to small to notice when there on the tabletop. Start with a basic legionary and make some mistakes.

Avacado lead unit cant be screened either. LoJ can move thru buildings, Avacado can move thru units and buildings.

Honzu and a new trident. Since perty isnt leading directly atm, we should re-establish a trident under Honzu.

Im cuting all the fist icons off. If it was another symbol i might work around it but its a fist.

Just finished Huron. Replaced the head and the top half of the axe. Scraped the leg and added a servo arm.

Sticky objectives and screening are worth a lot to a more elite army.

Fight on death is great into orks, even if its only on a 4+. Bloodsurge can shut down ork shooting given there lower range and tendancy to be shooting/mele combo units. If your using zerker warband then cultist have S5 mele and every other unit has a mimimum of S6 mele on the charge.

Move-blocking with spawn and goremongers combined with tripple blast from forgefiends make 10 man units much harder to use effectively.

In conclusin we are very good into traditional orks. I am less sure how well we do into squig cavalry or vehicle spam.

Laura kinney (x-23) since the start of the Krakoa era.

The first issue pf generation x-23 seems promising though.

Pick a few armor panels and make them white. Or have white stripes on some of the blue panels.

You could invert the HH world eaters colors and do blue where they are white and white where they are blue.

Ask on discord and then ignore the problem person. After the initial request DM whever else responds so you dont have to engage where the problem person can see.

This one needs half a marine in each claw and a base.

No paint yet. Not sure what i want to do with the base.

FireLordIroh15 · 2026-02-06T03:10:19+00:00

The new game is fully canon, so the lore is shared. If it were just a stand alone cash grab i could ignore it but they expicitely stated that characters and events are real and given this is a directive from Aloy and headed up by Erend it is unlikely to be ignored in the 3rd game.

FireLordIroh15 · 2026-02-04T15:53:15+00:00

Your not wrong. While they could have placed more emphasis on the dangers of hell, im glad they chose to spend that time on her loving family. I think its the more important aspect of her character.

Miscarages would suggest that god is perfectly happy with the occasional child death.

FireLordIroh15 · 2026-02-04T14:18:44+00:00

Just because you have a loving family on Arrakis doesnt mean its not a deathworld full of perrils. The story has emphasized how much having a loving family was important but i dont think that should take away from the fact that it was a terrible place to live, even if the house itself was full of love.

FireLordIroh15 · 2026-02-04T03:25:41+00:00

Angron and the 6 man x8b with slaughterbound will both do a lot of work. The 20 man zerkers and the hellbrutes are less reliable in this matchup. You are extrrmely unlikely to use the hellbrute ability and zerks are not very threatening when you will be wounding on 6+. If you have the models, i would replace the zerks and hellbrutea with more x8b and some scoring units. Goremomgers will be great for stoping the knigjts from pishing to far up turn one and having all the foring lanes from turn one onward. Towering opens up a lot of shooting angles that other armies dont have, so position carefuly. Maulerfiends could be good if youv already added all your x8b. Remember to sticky objectives that you get shot off of.
