This is mainly to explore/validate color scheme, at first.



More to come !

Clan marking should be shortly made via Laser Decals, probably this first one in this picture,
the others seemsa bit too old fashioned :

The colour scheme looks right to me although I thought the bolters were supposed to be entirley boltgun metal?

Nice clean paint job though. The eyes are particularily striking.

Option A looks like Deathguard while Option C reminds me to Necron and Slaanesh.

On yout colour scheme. A layer of Badab wash followed by Chailmail highlight may bring out the metal a bit.

Well this picture from Lexinanum suggests a clear color for the bolter, but i don't really know.

I've change the lens color because blue was more striking,
and I have the project of a Venerable Dread called 'Deep Blue' which will have multiple blue lens everywhere

I'll try your tip for badab ink, thanks !

Option A is what I like the most, in fact the Nurgle feeling doesn't disturb me,
perhaps it's because I feel IH are already a little 'borderline' Marines.

It's really the marking I like best.

If you have more suggestions to make the model more striking, feel free !
This one is my sandbox to set the right color scheme.

Your colorscheme is correct so keep it.
Reference: WD+index astartes.
-black armor
-white weapon casings
-metal shoulderpad rim
-bionics, metal hands
- use clan symbol and chapter symbol
-tactical sign on the leg armor


Clan symbols seem to detailed and smallish, they need to get simplified.
GW had four of them, so if you want them, i could post them here.



IH still have a squad supplied by GW, so its possible to get bionics and shoulderpads.


I like the blue lenses. Gives them a nice difference to all the common red ones.
Maybe reduce the metal on the arm. Hands are usual metal, but other body parts should be bionics to warrant metal.

Quick shot of gathered Iron Hands:

Thanks for comments.

I've changed some stuff, mainly because the eagle chest was too 'RG' and the white casing was good
but the model missed some colors, it was only black and white.

I'll start the army then, from that scheme.

He looks fantastic, great job can't wait to see more!

Hey thanks, it's good to have another motivation than his own

Right now I'm painting another Marine with his right leg converted, then I will assemble an Iron Father.

Wahh.. He looks cool. well done bro. Just finish him up

YES, very good job bro.

I love the blue in the eye's, great work.

Hey thank you

Currently the army is under heavy work !
I'll try to post pics next week.

I have to 2nd third and 4th how cool that marine's eyes are... I'd love to be able to do the same but with red.... anyone have any idea's?

i did red eyes a couple of times..
Basically red eyes goes like this : Red -> orange -> yellow -> white.

IMO.. blue/green eyes looks better than red

For info, I made blue lenses with :

Mordian Blue Foundation Paint -> 50/50 mix Mordian / Ice Blue paint -> Ice blue paint -> a last point of White with a little bit of Ice Blue.
