Iron Warriors. Venomcrawler conversion. Part 1.

Next little project is the venomcrawler. I didn’t intended to convert ever model to my Iron Warriors but looking at the models I can’t help my self.

Firstly I don’t love the design of the chaos units. Generally they look ok. There is a lot of cool details and for the most part nice designs. But I feel that most of them don’t reflect the deep heritage from the Horus Heresy and the legions they once were. So this is what I try to add in most of these conversions. Also I want things to be more mechanical to reflect the nature of Iron Warriors. I don’t see the 4th legion to be worshippers or supporters of daemons. I see them more as a legion that use the warp, chaos and the gods as tools or as weapons. It’s means to an end and nothing more.

That’s what Iron Warriors is to me and that’s what I want them to look like :) .

The venomcrawler conversion is based on the Horus heresy mechanicum vorax model. It makes sense to me that these mechanical constructs would eventually evolve to what the venomcrawler is after thousands of years in the warp and at the hands of the 4th legion. A fun and easy conversion. Maybe a bit expensive, but totally worth it :) .
