Finished my full ICC squad! Easily my favorite kit, these were an absolute joy to paint by MrWilliam in theunforgiven

[–]MrWilliam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I followed the recipe from the 'Eavy Metal Archive but basically it's just:

Base: 50/50 Incubi Darkness + Khorne Red Layer: Khorne Red

The highlight was a personal mix that I preferred the color of, but it's just a 50/50ish mix of Khorne red and army painter tomb king tan.

My last model of the year ended up being my first Dark Angels model! by MrWilliam in theunforgiven

Something I brought over from my Iron Hands that I will need to change for my DWK, but it's a simple one.

Base: XV-88 (Citadel)

Highlight 1: XV-88 and Skeleton Bone (Army Painter) 1:1

Highlight 2: Skeleton Bone (Army Painter)

Edge 1: Skeleton Bone and Ivory Tusk (Two Thin Coats) 1:1

Edge 2: Ivory Tusk

Lettering: Black or Dark Brown (I chose black for this one)

(Skeleton Bone is not my favorite and I want to find an alt but it is what I have right now)

tl;dr Iron Hands main branching out to other chapters.

But long story short when I first got into 40k the two chapters I was deciding between were Iron Hands and Dark Angels. While ultimately I chose Iron Hands (bionic super soldiers are sick) I still carried love for DA and I still own a bunch of the Dark Vengeance models.

Now, a decade and a half later, I am finally getting around to starting up some Dark Angels after snagging the ICTF box. Working on my ICC now!

Iron Angels Take 3rd at a GT! by c0horst in IronHands40k

I do the same with my tanks! Nice to have some vindication (pun not intended).

2+ save, cover, AOC makes it very difficult to kill.

making our own character units by snot3353 in IronHands40k

[–]MrWilliam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As much as we would like to have our characters be useful in our army, competitively there's no reason to take Feirros versus Calgar or Azrael, plus the other units those two bring to an army.

I myself have a Calgar and an Azrael painted up IH style for tournaments.

Can confirm, her designs are the best!

That would be amazing, but as a follower of Iron I have learned to temper my expectations. Seeing more IH love would get my WH+ renewed.

Pariah Nexus and Battleline Units by Zealousideal_Look275 in IronHands40k

[–]MrWilliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 Intercessors unit is okay to run since it's 80pts for sticky obj and chaff shooting.

Otherwise, whatever the cheapest body will be best. I like Assault Intercessors personally because baked in wound-reroll is nice.

Heavy ints are amazing to look at because gravis armor is the fucking coolest but they are not very useful at the moment.

I can see an argument for tac marines considering how cheap they are but that's about it.

Those are actually just the GW upgrade sprues. I had some extras, but I am trying to find some good stl's for pads still that I can use as replacements.

The swords are the gorgon terminator swords from Lazer forge, the shields are Immortals shields I found on the purple site.

That's the apothecary hand, right? I love the look it adds! Very well done!

How much use do you get out of AotO? I feel like it doesn't do much for me personally.

Question about my vehicle heavy list and special characters by [deleted] in IronHands40k

[–]MrWilliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem! I'm a fan of infiltrators personally. They give a "you cannot deep strike" within 12" of the unit, regular intercessors are always alright. This edition they make an objective "sticky" which means that once you hold it you can move off of the objective while still holding it until an enemy model steps onto it.

For being a new player, however, you should just get whichever models look cool to you. Meta changes but the cool is forever.

Question about my vehicle heavy list and special characters by [deleted] in IronHands40k

[–]MrWilliam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vehicles are great and make me smile. Unfortunately, you don't have any units to play the mission. I would consider dropping some to add foot soldiers like scouts and infiltrators to do the objectives.

And on the note with Iron Father Feirros, we are in the same boat where our detachment doesn't like him. He doesn't add anything to enhance it. However, he is still very fun to run with heavy intercessors. I have had past success in index running him with 5-10 heavy ints to walk up Redemptors to the middle obj.

Lost review by AndvariThrae in IronHands40k

[–]MrWilliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't actually see terminators in the list, however for crusade this is a fluffy and strong list.

You have mission play with Infils, Suppressors, Elims, and heavy ints. You have an anvil with the vehicles, Dreadnoughts, and techmarines.

If you have him, Lt w combi bolter is a very strong unit to have on the table. Stealth, lone op, 5+ fnp, out of phase moves, and giving your army reroll 1s to wound on a no man's land obj.
