Iron warriors. Domitar Ferrum. Part2.
High time to finish these guys. Nothing more to say but, iron within iron without.

Here are my Word bearers preator. Finished him at last :) . Cool dude that just sits on his thrown. Built him from one of the objectivs in the space hulk board game box. Cant wait to put him on the table.
So, i have played my first game of 8th. 1000p of iron warriors faced the mechanicus in an kill point game.
I cant really give a honest review of the game yet. But one thing stand out to me.
I had fun and had a good time, all in all. But i dont really feel that i want to go back and play once more. The game was fast, tactical and bloody. But it did not feel like i was part of it somehow.
War games for me are more then roll dice. You are part of the squads, you see gun fire, hear the roar of the battle cannons. From the first die roll you are part of the battle, like the commander you are suppose to be. But in 8th i just feelt like was playing any game in general. The army are on the table and i am at the side of it and the actions it takes.
It was still fun but it did not leave me with wanting more. What i think breaks it for me are small small things, but that have big impacts. Like my predator that are more or less right behind a big wall. One small part of my hull sticks out and now i can fire all my guns at anything in range. Or that the same predator that got charged, cant unload all the guns at the small dudes he are backing away from. From a game stand point it works. Allow for tactics and hard dicisions. But it makes no sens at all and yous feels stupid to be honest. The tank dont feel like a tank.
Now, i wont judge the game to hard. I have played one game with 1000p . I will try it once more with more points and a different army and see if i cant get "that feeling" once again playing 40k. But i think that GW have cut of to much this time. This might change in the future of corse.
But again, i need to try it once more before i can give my full review.
The past week i have been working on everything and nothing so i dont really have anything to show. But i am working on my blackshields again. More on them later. I made a Word bearer preator as well that i need to take som pictures of. But right now i have the iron circle on my table and i am super excited to finaly start working on them :D .
So, another castellax unit is finished :) . Slowly my mechanicum force are growing.
Done and finished! Not much more to add then the picture of them ;) . It is one of these units that i just needed to have in my army. Will be fun to try them on the table top.
slow progress on my hobby projects. But as long as things move forward :) .
After a long period of being sick i finally got back to my painting table. I have so much fun stuff to do :D .
And with warhammer 40k 8th around the corner i have some small stuff i want to do for that game as well.
I need to deciede what i will run with in 8th. I am thinking of going with either iron warriors (of corse) or silver skulls. We will see . But it is nice to be up on my two feet again.
Done with the twenty new recruits. Ready to fold in to the lines and spread the word.
Some more progress have been made. Love when i have a ton of models on the tabel or ten of them. It is a awesome feeling when it starts to come togheter :) .
Yes i jump alot between projects :) . I got a deal on 20 marines some time back and now it is time to re-paint them. Planing to expand the 2 squads i already have. Time to go big :) .
I gott these puppys and am almost done building them. Now i have magnitized the shields and the guns for one simpel resson. I want to use my big robots as normal domitars as well, with my mechanicum. So add a launcher and a home made grav hammer should not be to much work. To be continued.
Here we go. I had some luck yesterday and got the evening opend for hobby and fun. So i sat down and finished my castellax. I like the result. First time i tryed to paint white. If we can say its still white. Off i go forward new projects.
Progress have been made! But alot left to do :) .
So with warhammer 40k 8th edition around the corner and with the latest news that horus heresy will follow soon after. I have to say that i am excited. I know that alot of folks are worrid about the changes. But to be hones, i know everything is going to be alright. With that said i will, keep calm and make some castellax :) .
Here we are. Two rhinos down one to go :) .
Slow progress but still progress. Most of the paint job is done. Time for dirt and weathering. The fun stuff :) .
I found a nice deal that involved 4 rhinos at a very very low cost. So i could not resist. They are alittle damage and are missing some small part but i think i can make it work. First rhinos for me. Feels nice to soon have transports for my marines.
Some time ago i got 3 Vorax battleautomatas from a guy that did not need them. Thay were half painted so all i did was to add some battle damage and weathering. Now they are looking forward to meet there new family :) .
Zardu layak and his blade slaves are now done. This was an awesome little project but I think I will call it here. I don’t want to overdo it. I also think that if I let these guys rest for a while I will see things later that I want to fix. But for now they are finished and ready for battle.
