Howdy, the Big Paint ? continues, but in the meantime I've got around to taking some better pics of my Epic Iron Hands Army. ?Well, when i say better, they've got more detail but are a bit dark! ?This first pic is of the two Tactical Detatchments, one lead by an Iron Father, the other by a Librarian.

Here's the Land Raider and Terminator detatchments.  In games I'll actually use them as two detatchments, they're just together for this picture.

Finally, here's a pic of the mini which inspired me to make this Army, an old Plastic Dreadnought I happened to have as part of a lot I bought off ebay.

I liked the fact it looked like the Venerable Dreadnought model produced for 40k by Forge World, and I go to thinking about which army would take ol Dreads like that... and Iron Hands sprung to mind! ?(that and the fact I knew they'd be easy to paint! ?:D )

And it did indeed take me longer to paint the scenic bases than the minis themselves! ?:p

I don't actually use it in this army now, I think I'll make up a little objective/scenery piece using it.

Nice work - and the Dread looks good in the Iron Hands' colours. AND I second Markconz's question :D

The insignia was painted by making a semi-recangular-triangle type shape, then a smaller triangle above that.  Paint four white lines above that, and one at the side.  It takes a bit of practice, and varies by how much paint you have on your brush - believe me this makes the difference from them looking more like 'Iron Paws' Marines! :D

Thanks for the positive feedback anyway.

Hi!

Great stuff!

Next time around, you'll need better illumination for the pics, the lighting doesnt do the minis justice. :)
