First List, 30k Iron Warriors

This is a list which I'm going to work on and paint through out the year, I've decided (finally, only took me 12+ months xD) to do Iron Warriors.

I've always loved the Iron Warriors, they are cold, calculated, and malicious. None of them would have a problem killing another for there own personal gain, I don't think they could ever be classed as chaos worshipers, they don't really have the portential for relegious belief, they just happened to have been roped into the wrong side of the heresy thanks to jealousy and the desperate need for revenge.

As for the army, I'm thinking it's going to be heresy era, as for the side, I haven't fully decided, I like the idea of them being a seperate expedition which was alone in there own campaign during the start of the heresy, but that limits my options, but I'll decide as I go

I kind of went OTT on the list, as I said it was going to be 1000pts, but I've managed 1200pts but I'll aim for the slightly higher :)

I will be using the list the is in the forgeworld Horus Heresy book 1: Betrayal.

So the list goes as follows:

HQ

Praetor (180)

-Master Crafted Thunder Hammer

-Iron Halo

-Digital Laser

Troop

10 Legion Breacher Marines (285)

-2 Meltaguns

-Thunder Hammer

-Artificer Armour

20 Legion Tactical Marines (270)

-Artificer Armour

-Combi Weapon

Elites

Legion Apothecary (legion tactical) (60)

-Augury Scanner

-Combi Weapon

Legion Dreadnought (150)

-Twin Linked Lascannon

-2 Hunter Killer Missiles

Fast Attack

3 Legion Land Speeders (240)

-3 Multi-Meltas

-6 Hunter Killer Missiles

Total 1185pts

I'm missing 10 tactical, the breaching marines and the apothecary, so it will give me a reason to paint a smaller army before buying the rest of it

Hopefully I'll actually name my units, name my independent character and create some background for the army, maybe with some allies, cause I like the idea that if I go down the traitor route, I could go with some mechanicus and make the renegades :D because who doesn't love robots :D

Anyways, that's a huge read, so thanks for getting to the bottom, and if you have any suggestions, feel free to give me a shout :)

2014, a new year

I'm a bit late with the new year blog post, but as they say, better late than never

2013 has been an interesting year, mainly cause of going to the states on a cross country bus ride for 5 weeks :) and getting a full time contract at my place of work :) but on the model front, it was very poor :(

So to try and help me I've made a few rules for myself that I'm going to try and follow :)

I'm going to try and use all my accounts, listed below, I'm going to try and use and update them on a regular basis, even if it's just once a week
