Fixing Lame Marines Into Iron Hands

[@jamesflames6987]

I was already really impressed by the paint job. But then I was utterly blown way by the boldness of covering it in dust. The final model has so much story and character. Amazing.

I can’t believe it, some Iron Hands love! Came out incredible!! I’d love to see you work with the White Scars next. You can have a ton of fun with them, implementing more organic things like feathers and furs.

In light of your idea regarding "Wacky" paint-schemes that need a good touch of grounding in the 40k Grimdark Universe, I Humbly request that the Lamenters make an appearance! The McDonalds Marines need some love, and an appropriately grim paintjob to match their sad, sorrowful existence.

[@assassinLOLGASM]

Howling griffons! (or charcaradons..) Your model looks real neat too!

[@williaminghamfarrow9371]

Yes to Howling Griffons! A great colour scheme, and ancient chapter (in lore and IRL)

[@The_WarL0rd_Way]

Iron Hands, that is what I am painting my first army as. great video.

[@Moonenvoy93]

The decal on the head was a great idea I feel that it was just out of scale that's why it was failing. The silver dome is a great improvement.

[@cowshedenderman5773]

The iron hands successors, the Sons of Medusa are my chapter and i would love to see a dive into them. A very unrealistic red-orange dessert base looks good on them.

Great job! I'd be curious to see what you would do to an Emperors Children.

[@Kesomazarin]

O no! You made a Silver skull marine. 😊

[@n3dstark]

Really cool results. So important to tie in your model with the base. That extra (but well demonstrated) bit of effort just elevated the model exponentially.

[@StagDigital]

The color scheme is simple, yet efficient, and you made it so alive with so little colors, well done !

[@ajmetal2849]

Wow the cog-style shoulder pad a stroke of genius!

[@Culebrunch]

Man really mad Iron Hands look interesting

[@Imperial_Gear]

I feel like Jay would have fun painting a Hospitaller marine, despite their armor being white like the White Scars, the gold and red stands out well, and with their silver helmet it is definitely something that catches the eye. Also checker patterns go great with them for more personalization and variety.

[@cynicfenrir3514]

I’d love to see a run where Jay works with some people and does a single model of their custom chapters(or faction equivalent). Even in a small selection you might get a very diverse/unique challenge, with interesting results. Amazing work, appreciate the content.

[@Jonny.Y]

I know that you’re a big fan of Deathwatch but I have a challenge. (The same challenge we all face), can you try to modify a small 5 man Kill-Team so they all have the same usual colour scheme but bring out their chapters and identity more than just painting their right pauldron in their chapter symbol? Detail through design! Great video as usual, thanks!

[@Ladude90]

For drilling Barrels, I take a needle to pierce a little hole in the first place. Makes it easy to hit the right spot in the middle. Then it’s way easier to drill the hole with a drill. Optional. I drill the hole with a bigger drill at first and then I change to a smaller one. Gives a cooler front for a muzzle

Gawd, watching you xacto that barrel out just gave me a ptsd flashback to trying to push bristles back into one of those cheap testors brushes when i was like 12. I put the blade all the way through the tip of my index finger. In on the thumb side, out on the finger side. 😬 Safety first kids.

[@steveharrison76]

I’m not going to be hyperbolic here, and maybe it’s because I haven’t actually SEEN many Iron Hands minis, but that’s easily one of the best I’ve seen. That pigment powder trick and the rest of the techniques with the dry brush really make him a bit special, for my taste. I’ve just started back in the hobby and begun a Lamenters force, but now I want to paint some of these guys like that 😂 goddamnit 😂

[@UndertalefanH]

[@rump438]

the best thing about the Iron Hands is Ferrus Manus thought they were fucking idiots for mutilating themselves in the pursuit of being less weak, and fundamentally misunderstood what he meant when he said the flesh is weak. He didn't like his arms because they made him weaker in his eyes, since he couldn't make them any stronger than they were.

[@originalcontent9150]

I built a Kill Team of Iron Hands Terminators to use as Morloks (using Custodes Rules). I gave them all some kind of servo arm, big ass weapons, and made sure their silhouettes were wide. I love them. I also made an Intercession team and used Heavy Intercessor bodies.

[@mogwiawolf4354]

Paint up a Carcharodon. Lots of great freehanding and conversion work.

[@docsads1]

Dame that sliver head really pulled it together, was not felling it then boom came together

[@Perkustin]

He looks pretty cool, the freehands are impressive. Personally i start with a Gun Metal prime, then i spray a sepia wash from above and a purple from below to add a little interest also emulates forged steel, it ends up very subtle on the finished figure. Drybrush with a lighter Silver then brush on Black Templar contrast (tiny bit of Airbrush thinner) all over. Next pick out some scratches/edge highlights with silver, you can be sloppy/just drybrush due to next step, varnish then a 'Starship Filth' oil wash. after it's dry i pick out the best looking edge highlights/scratches and leave the ones that look a bit sloppy under the Oil, varnish, armour done. You would do transfers/freehand after the black templar stage (before oils). The furniture on the weapons is painted pretty much identical to this, For the pouches i paint them in a ochre/khaki (kinda like British WW1/2 webbing) colour as it really adds a nice pop. For conversions i STRONGLY recommend the Bald Eradicator (and Hellblaster i think) heads as they look like faceless cyborg clones or something.

[@tylerfortniteninjablevins1457]

[@musicalDrebin]

i recently started painting Iron hands myself for my MK3 horus heresy battle group. it's been super fun personally i give it a black under coat, then Vallejo black metalic over everything, then Iron hands steel on all the trim. after that and all over shade with agrax earth shade, and a dry brush of Iron breaker to give it the armor the almost metalic grey look of some of the heresy art. then i paint all the pipes and eyes using tallasar blue and paint the bolter white, using thinned down pylar glacer as a shade. they're looking pretty good so far for the little work i've done, but i'm thinking about painting one or both of the shoulder pads black and giving it some kind of gloss to still give it that shiny look, but i'm not too sure. might even give a few of them a bronze face plate just to mix things up a bit

I hope Gorgon Terminators get a 10th edition makeover. Like, keep the overall structure of the armor the same, but just bulk it up a little bit. I don’t even play tabletop, I’m in it for the lore, books, videogames and art. I like to draw space marines a lot, too. Mainly Iron Hands, and mainly Terminators at that. But Gorgon Terminators, just by their lore descriptions, are some of the most terrifying shock-troops you could face on any Warhammer 40K battlefield. They’re basically the predecessors to the modern Indomitus pattern suits you see in the modern imperium, albeit heavily up-armored, and with one unique enhancement. Where Cataphractii Terminator suits utilized miniature Ion Shielding, with the generators housed in the pauldrons, the Gorgon suit uses a Conversion Field generator, that turns incoming enemy fire, kinetic or energy, into flashes of blinding light with every hit. That’s right. Disco Death Mode. Shooting a Gorgon Terminator is basically like trying to shave your eyebrows with a live flashbang grenade. The drawback is that this device embedded within the armor produces a lot of toxic chemical runoff and radiation, which requires the battle-brother to basically be entombed within the armor permanently in the form of intense cybernetic alteration and a very, VERY painful bonding procedure. But for the Iron Hands, this is an immense honor only one step below becoming a full on dreadnought, so they’re all for it. And with the Iron Hands being the hardasses they are, you know damn well that any Gorgon Terminator has to have an INSANELY extensive service record and killcount to be offered the opportunity to become a Gorgon Terminator, so if you see one of them sumbitches on the battlefield, not only can you bet your ass he’s seen and successfully replied to just about anything the galaxy can throw at him, he’s also very likely not alone, as they deploy in squads of 5 at the minimum. They also don’t use powerfists, with their melee weapons being either power axes or thunder hammers. And one member of the squad can carry either a graviton gun or, my beloved, my favorite heavy weapon, the Reaper Pattern, twin barreled, over-under, alternating autocannon. (While the Reaper autocannon has such a childishly grim name, it’s a fucking double barreled autocannon, and it needs to make a comeback for the loyalists, because chaos marines get enough cool shit with all the chainaxes and badass daemon engines they use)
