Filippo's Iron Warrior - Leader Month (231 pts)

January, also known as "The month I planned so long nothing could possibly go wrong"

Ahhahahahahah.. I never learn..

After five change of plans, January ended up being the the Leader month. 

Last year the main objective was to keep the painting style as closer to the original as possibile.

This time I decided to try and being more relaxed, since the original paint-job was not easy to "reverse engineer" while maitaining a '90s style

Here my Leader, ready to slap the shit out of Andrea's Eldars 

Chaos Lord ( 91)

Praise of Khorne (20)

Power Fist (10)

Conversion Field (10)

Bolt Pistol (2)

 

This models was a great test. It helped understand many important things about the Iron Warriors paint scheme:

1. I hate stripes
2. I hate stripes

3. I hate stripes

4. Thank the Gods for the Leadbelcher spray

5. I hate stripes

6. It's hard taking pictures of reflective surfaces

7. I HATE STRIPES

The worst part was the left leg. The idea of yellow and black stripes was initially quite good, but it became a nightmare in the end. 

Then the drama begun. What doing next? Only one model was not enough.

After starting and redoing almost half the army and another bunker (at least the next months are going to be easier), this is the result

Army Icon (55)
Terminator Armour (37)
Combi Bolter (6)
Chain Axe (-)

Total: 261 pts 

This concludes my first month.

I hate stripes...
