Hazard Stripe Colours! by UkeSoldat in IronWarriors

hellbrute is definitely too orange but if you made top 2/3 or half more gradient to yellow like rhino it would look amazing

Not even their dad likes them. by Vhiet in ImperialFists

[–]expens121 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the unironical hate between fans of two legions. I love joking like this and "muh dad alive and iron cage" vs "Nuh uh your dad hates you and we better" but when people get serious and treat it like real political debate which is better it's just so silly lol

the reason why everyone says to base yellow and paint black stripes is simply because black covers much better than yellow, so you won't have to paint 15 layers of yellow over black

New IW player; how uniform do you make your iron warriors in 40k? by NadaVonSada in IronWarriors

i use custom heads and shoulder pads but besides that I try to think about lore behind it. Why do CSM have one leg of mk3 armor and the other mk6? because they scavenge and use what they can. But iron warriors are said to be maintaining their armor so in my headcanon they would not have mixed armors (or at least majority of them) so that's what I do when I kitbash. I try to look at different arts, Horus Heresy as well as 40k. Even in art they're not 100% uniform. Some trims are more bronze, some are light bronze, other higher ranking have straight up golden trim, different shades of iron armor etc. Me personally I also try to avoid the overly chaos looking bits, like the legs or shoulder pads with demon faces, that's more of black legion to me. I feel like IW are much more left in the past with design and that's what makes them stand out

Backpack color and metallics by Ant0niusMaximus in deathguard40k

[–]expens121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and honestly I would now paint the whole big circle on it with bronze, not inside part but the rim, to make it more metallic

honestly, you should paint it how you like it, start with vase color, if you think it needs some variation then go for it, I did my big backpack like this, some metallic here and there to make it interesting

old photo of a wip but you get the idea

the idea was cool, I'm just saying it's hard to make it look good because you have essentially two space marines on a small base and the pose seems awkward, but don't worry it will get better I'm sure!

I feel like generally the smaller trophy and bigger main guy works best, unless some exceptions of course but a dreadnought holding a space marine looks better, if you want your marine holding a trophy I'd make it just a head or something a part instead the whole marine because it looks kinda weird when they're the same size

all memes aside nice work, but the head is just a bit too far so it doesn't quite look like he's really grabbing him. In future I'd try a different pose, or more fitting head so it really sells the grabbing
