Shroud Of Night Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Just fantastic all around. Particularly love the use of the Cawdor bodies. Want to see the whole army put together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcavuk Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Genesis of my new Ironweld Arsenal, from the initial Templar model through to the Weld Militia labourers (left), Weld Guard Soldiers (centre) to the Master of Shot (Right), hoping the theme is tying them together. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathCat147 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Congrats on the feature on the community page sir. The Weld Guard look great thus far, and I look forward to seeing more 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 Now upto 6 of the Labourers and 2 Weldguard painted for my Ironweld I've managed to work in a member of the unit command for each. In the labourers the wealthy sergeant has an additional black powder pistols to show off his wealth (until he meets an unfortunate demise at which point I'm sure another with magically find a pistol near his corpse) and the more military Weld Guard have a horn blower to marshal the men to battle. I'm not normally a huge fan of painting alot of infantry but once ten of each of these are painted it'll be time to more onto the riflemen, I figure if I'm going to work on converting a human faction I probably ought to actually paint humans for the mainpart (though I far prefer warmachines and monsters for the more fantastical aspects) 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorthor21 Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This is such an awesome army. It’s really inspiring the amount of detail and effort you have put into this project as a whole. I would go so far as to say to share it with as many GW social media outlets as possible and see if they would be interested in your ideas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcavuk Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 The first Ten Weld Militia are now painted (barring a couple of minor basing touchups) which makes the first full painted squad for my Ironweld Arsenal expansion. As much as I hate having to paint squads I do love how they all look together when finished. This month will see the legs added to my Cogfort, the full 10 Weld Guard assembled and three Cogstriding Knights added to the force! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorthor21 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 What are you going to use as the base for the cogstriding knights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 Working a bit more on my Ironweld Arsenal, all 10 of the Weldguard are now assembled with Halberds, the Cogstriders (built from Vorax) are just awaiting on a bits delivery to gain noble knights, and three of the five Clockwork Automata are built. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecktron Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Great work as always, the automatons are fittingly gangly. Will the cog striders get extra "arms" connected to the big gears at the side or will they stay armless? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The riders steamtank will plug into the main walker somewhere and I'm contemplating adding in exhaust pipes adjacent to the gears but no actual arms.

Melcavuk Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Because Sigmar needs some more epic characters, here's my Midnight Aspirant for my Ironweld Revival, truly more clockwork than human the heavy robes hide the innovations that keep this enigma functioning. Aspirant to a house long since thought lost to the ravages of time and entirely unknown to the Iron Council of the Weld this young upstart has carved a name for herself in the short years since her arrival. Emerging from the City of Midnight, in the stillness of Ulgu long since all living had forsaken the city of Cogs and Wonder. (Shield will be painted not left perspex, she's pretty large) 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trokair Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Melcavuk, your work continues to be truly inspiring with your conversions and ideas. Am I correct in thinking that the legs for the Aspirant are Vorax Arms? What knights are you going to use on the Vorax? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Solar Auxilia (to keep common thee with the weld guard) with the Forgeworld Empire heads, empire knights lances or cawdor heavy crossbows depending on armament. (And yes her legs are the spare arms from the Vorax, she largely came together out of my bits box when i saw the arms and thought theyd make good legs for her) Edited February 19, 2019 by Melcavuk 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Three makes a unit complete with a Master of Stables with his trophy wrack and extra pistol. All are magnetised to take the Fusiliers crossbows but I'm one short to make a unit which I'll grab when I get my next box of Cawdor for labourers. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eevika Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Just found this thread and had to put it on follow. This is an absolutely amazing original idea. I really love the basic units you have converted up they look fantastic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcavuk Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share Posted February 22, 2019 The Steamforged Cogfort has sprouted legs! Now able to stand without being propped up its nearing time to paint, just a little gap filling left to do when the leg mounts have finished setting, Johann provided for scale For anyone keeping track it sits at 12.5 inches tall at the peak which is 2 inches over a warhound titan 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcavuk Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Making the most of a day off to get some painting done, I've now cleared the 10 Weld Phalanx models, completed the first Weld Rifle test model and put some paint to my first proper artillery piece (Helblaster) 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
