Iron Warriors - Spartan

Todays post is about my second tracked vehicle for my Iron Warriors legion forces.  This is a resin model from ForgeWorld which has sadly in the process of being discontinued.  Happily it’s looking to be replaced with a plastic set coming imminently.  This is the first of two I currently have for the Sons of Perturabo.  

Again, this has the rusted tracks, black panels, and chevrons to break up the metal.  This doesn’t have so much detail and took fewer hours.  So far i am enjoying painting ”The Iron Forth”.  They give a very effective paint job without the effort other legions have required.  

So what do you think?  Has the scheme been effective? Are you looking forward to a plastic Spartan and the updates to the Horus Heresy?  Let me know in the comments below.

Iron Warriors - Medusa legion Artillery Tank

Todays post is a little project I’ve been working on in preparation for Heresy 2.0.  It’s a heavy support option for my Iron Warriors.  This took a fair while to paint compared to the other tanks I have completed owing to the open back and crew.  This is the first of three I intend to get.  I have a second in bits already.

I hope you like the model, I added heavily rusted tracks as I assume it’s a sacrificial coating to protect the layers underneath safe from corrosion.  I think it looks pretty good and makes it less all metal.  I’m thinking the piece may need a little weathering.  Chipping and a bit of streak and grime maybe, but that’s a job for another time.
