That's not a bad idea at all. I will have to have a think about that. I saw someone do it with skull transfers on a vehicle. Looked good.

Shaw, the army is just amazing.

I keep looking at them - the sense of defiance, and unshakable will in the face of a grueling, dirty campaign - and it hit me.

You're entire force makes me think of the Iron Cage. Dorn led a hardened core of IF survivors out of that hellhole of the Iron Warriors and they were reborn as a Codex Chapter. I think without even meaning to, you've captured that event and those hardened core of survivors with your force.

Bravo!

Looking absolutely brilliant. They really look as if they've been campaigning for a few years in a row...

Just caught up with this tread from the beginning so thought I'd chime in. Seriously nice army you've got here Shaw, gives the impression of grimy, grizzled vets who fight hard and give no quarter. Perfect for the fists I'd say!

Just saw that your Contemptor's made it onto the White Dwarf Daily Flickr Pool feed! Good job!

Wow man, amazing.

Can't believe its been over a month since my last post. I am working on the command squad at the moment but they are taking a little longer because I decided to paint strip my previous paint job.

Here's a few objectives I've also been working.

That's a iron warrior contemptor, dead iron hand marine, a dead iron warrior & a homing beacon.

I've also made,

A dead Deathguard marine and finally,

One dying Imperial Fist.

Them iron hand and Deathguard are both there as my mates play them. Just need to add a transfer to the iron hands marine and paint up the next two objective markers.

Cheers!

Thanks very much everyone! Really means a lot.

Cheers!!

I've been working on the command squad who are still a work I'm progress at the moment. I'm also working on a few more special & heavy weapons so I can make the bolter marines into 40k tactical squads and use them in the heresy as a heavy support squad & tactical support squad.

I will also be adding another Typhon & a fellblade of some type into the army

Here's a couple of WIP shots.

I've also been working on the command squad but the dog ate the standard (limited edition!) so I've had to replace it with a new red scorpion one. They've taken a little longer than I. Expected but they are nearly there.
