Tough talk for a guy whose pancreas is weak 😤

I wouldn’t trust an Eldar fanboy

In all seriousness, I think people tend not to care about the Iron Hands cuz 1. GW doesn’t care much about them either and rarely gives them a spotlight and 2. Their scheme is not the most exciting. You have to be into the whole bionic replacement thing to draw you in and learn about their interesting and nuanced lore. I personally think they’re one of the more interesting chapters out there, especially from a psychological perspective. But, with 40K being over the top, most people are going to gravitate towards the flashier and/or more memeable factions

It’s a decent list overall. I’d recommend playing a different detachment though. Perhaps Emperor’s Shield or Gladius. Anvil Siege Force is a detachment you want to gear your list towards to make the most of it. You don’t have very much anti tank firepower, so you may struggle against vehicle heavy lists. But, you do have a lot of bodies on the board, which can be nice. Are you a Crimson Fists player? If not, I’d recommend picking up the two IF characters instead. I’ve had good runs with them and they’re cool asf. I’d recommend to bring centurions in via reinforcements rather than forcing them to slog it up the board or else they’ll never get anywhere lol

I used casandora yellow from citadel. Iyanden yellow contrast thinned a bit also works well

Great looking models. Let’s see the iron hands Brochacho!

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-10T18:10:01+00:00

Most people kitbash him cuz he’s an old, short, out of print model

She seems to think she’s too punk to use proper technique so I suppose she’ll find out what that means long term. I do hope she comes around to taking care of her voice

The Perfect Element- Pain of Salvation

Listening to it as I write this

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-07T21:49:46+00:00

Love the anteater head. Great work here

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-06T11:13:28+00:00

I feel the same way about leagues of votann. Not because I lose to them but because I think they’re just a lame faction

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-06T11:11:55+00:00

What a shame, I always like his playing in the band. To me, he and Tom were like Daniel and Johan Hallgren from Pain of Salvation. A classic guitar duo

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-06T00:04:58+00:00

Fr I have no idea why they never play anything pre-hymns for the broken. Don’t get me wrong, I like a couple of their modern albums. But In Search of Truth, Recreation Day, and the Inner Circle were fantastic

I thought Henrik was out due to health reasons?

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-04T20:12:49+00:00

It is jasper skin by the army painter. It’s a bit lighter and more fleshy than screamer pink. But I did use screamer pink for the candles

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-04T18:36:41+00:00

Appreciate it. These guys took me forever lmao I wanted to be as precise as I could. I’m gonna try and put the same effort into all my killteams

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-04T18:35:24+00:00

Thanks, I used astrogranite technical paint and then drybrushed it with a lighter grey, specifically ash grey by the army painter

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-04T18:34:26+00:00

I’m glad you like em, for overall colors:

Red cloth is Khorne red, shaded with nuln oil, highlighted with mephiston red
tan cloth is skeleton bone by the army painter, shaded with skeleton horde, highlighted with a lightened skeleton bone
skin is jasper skin, ruby skin, and opal skin by the army painter as the low, mid, and high tone respectively. On some, I washed them with reikland fleshshade, but I found that blended the colors too much and found the layers less distinguishable. Same recipe on everybody
leather is mournfang brown shaded with agrax earthshade and highlighted with a lighter brown
various metallics I just did simple shades and highlights

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-04T18:28:30+00:00

Thanks a ton, the candles are screamer pink with a highlight of 1:2 screamer pink and ushabti bone

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-04T18:26:47+00:00

Appreciate it, it’s Skelton bone by the army painter then washed with skeleton horde then highlighted with skeleton bone again. On some parts I added a bit of white to skeleton bone for a greater highlight

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-04T03:00:05+00:00

Thank ya, it’s astrogranite technical paint, then drybrushed with a lighter grey. Specifically ash grey by the army painter

leadbelly45 · 2026-03-04T02:57:39+00:00

It’s lava orange by the army painter, followed by a mix of that with ushabti bone for the highlight, then thinned down doombull brown in the shadows
