30k Iron Warriors: The Beginning

I finally got moved into my new home and have life situated. After two additional weeks of procrastination and Christmas fun, we have progress. I've loved the background of The Horus Heresy since 2005 when I opened up the first novel "Horus Rising". The models have been out for a while now and I've accumulated enough for a sizable force. With all excuses out of the way it's time to build, paint, and play baby. Below I have 6 Tyrant Terminators (missiles on their backs), a Praetor, and 2 Contemptor Dreadnoughts. 

The Tyrant Sgt checking his scanner.  For each of these models I converted power fists to fit on the Justerian Terminator bodies. The look wonderful to me and I'm quite happy with them. 

This next guy was converted using Arjac Rockfist and Abbadon's Lightning Claw. He's an aggressive fellow. 

Here's the old lead from the front kind of guy pointing out another target. A fun idea for the split fire rule I'll be enjoying. 

My 2 Contemptor's are ready to fight. These kits are amazingly easy to build with a wide variety of poses. I went for one with dual assault cannons and another combining a meltagun with a power claw. 

Here is the Praetor for the force. He is sporting a paragon blade with a nyante blaster. The Blaster I had to convert from scratch. I couldn't find any references to what they look like,so I gave it my best shot. 

Looking for something to kill. 

The models are a relatively easy to build but I didn't enjoy shaving off the eye of Horus from them. First world problem I guess.   

Finally I leave you with a group shot and a short time before my next visit. Until then.... Iron Within!
