Iron Bretonnians (was RE-Inventing the Steam Tank)
IronCog replied to IronCog's topic in Painting and Modelling
Due to waiting on parts for the steam tanks (mainly rod and tube for the hinges on the tracks), I've started in on my Commanders Body Guards, the Cog Knights (GreatSwords) Still have lots of work to do on him. need to add a tube or two and some armor. So one 3/4 of the way done..... 19.25 to go. As always Comments and Questions welcome! Sincerely, IronCog -

Speed? Sure, demented devotion to working on styrene yes. Thanks! Thanks, I have to say I love working with it. So update, Works been keeping me really busy, also caught a cold. I've been spending most of the weekend coughing and hacking but well I got loads of work done on the new steam tanks: Now I know it looks like I did a lot of work but I've also made loads of jigs so this was rather fast. All three of the steamtanks together. Now this army in Age of Sigmar is going to be a Greywater Fastness Army, I'm thinking of running their artillery Battalion, thus I need some field guns, I know its not that same as WW1 gun but hey its been fun working on the concept model: As always Comments and Questions welcome!

Iron Bretonnians (was RE-Inventing the Steam Tank)
IronCog replied to IronCog's topic in Painting and Modelling
Right I know I am working fast on the this project but I started the paint job: The Commander(his arm broke off when I dropped him they're going to be painting separately and glued together once I got the turret done: And the next modeling project.... I want 3 more steam tanks... the worst part of the build was the track... so I set out today for an hour to make the "prefect" track: ........ Then comes the Silicone for resin casting: As always Comments and Questions welcome! Sincerely, IronCog -
I like the start of the paint job, that beard looks amazing.

Iron Bretonnians (was RE-Inventing the Steam Tank)
IronCog replied to IronCog's topic in Painting and Modelling
Right, so I think this model has been my obsession for the past 5 days of free time. That being said I was sick for a day or two (actual sickness the fever and chills the whole 9 yards) so all in I think I sunk somewhere around 15-20 hours total in this project. Phase 1 the build is complete now I will hopefully spend the next couple of weeks painting it as I am slower painter, also don't own an airbrush yet. The "completed" Build: Close up on the storage of 2 additional tracks and wheels/cogs: Right now its disassembled for painting, 4 parts, knight turret, hull and base. And I noticed I got some nice Vallejo Grey Pumice I can use for the base, the reason for the white strips (plasticard / polystryene) to show a "sinking" of the tank into the dirt. I built up the pumice to make no place where a hard transition so it will look like mud and dirt. As always Comments and Questions welcome! Sincerely, IronCog -

Iron Bretonnians (was RE-Inventing the Steam Tank)
IronCog replied to IronCog's topic in Painting and Modelling
Thanks, and yeah I got patience but also doing track in assembly line is fast, still it took 6-7 hours of effort. Right the assembly line: I got a chop-it mark 2 that I used to cut all the parts so they are very similar in size. Also tweezers and lots of glue. Right I stopped work tonight and here is where I stopped, lots of detailing needed but I'm getting close to completion. Close up on the turret hatch and Tank Knight: This guy is going to be a simple Steamtank, I have a plan for a Steam Tank Commander but that is later. Sincerely, IronCog -

IronCog replied to IronCog's topic in Painting and Modelling
Thanks! I do admit I my hobby projects sometimes run on praise, so thanks again! Update..... I had to go to a place I hate, walmart, I found loads of Steampunk Plastic Gears in the button area, I got enough for I think 2 full tanks, and I'd still have enough for more things, and for those wondering 10USD total, super cheap. And 3 hours of "roughing out" a track assembly turned into this: Comments and Questions welcome! Sincerely, IronCog hummm thinking of making the Iron Knights of Bretonnia with this new Cities of Sigmar book. -

Ricki's Midnight City - Clockwork Pegasus Knights June 2020
IronCog replied to Melcavuk's topic in Painting and Modelling
I got to admit I am really loving these kitbashes and conversions. I do have to ask, do you airbrush? or Hand paint those larger guys? -
Sir Owen, Knight Commander of the Iron Bretonnian 5th, opened the hatch on his steed Glorious to survey the battlefield. Before them. The chaos foot troops arrayed ahead had dug in awaiting the coming Steam Tank Charge. Know the time was now before their earth works could be completed he called the charge. This is going to be an Army Build Log for my new army “The Iron Bretonnians” So to answer the Rules Questions: This is a Cities of Sigmar, Grey Water Fastens Army, I plan on heavy conversions and scratch builds. The List I am Aiming for : Leaders Steam Tank W/ Commander Battline: 3 Steam Tanks Other: OutRiders Other stuff that strikes my fancy. Original Post: So with the new Cities of Sigmar book, I will admit when I joined the wargaming community I started with Imperial Guard Tanks, I wanted to build a gun line army based around the steam tank. I'm going to aim for ww1 or wild west feel of tech level max. Right now I got a big boiler and smoke stack, next is going to be the track and wheel assembly, not sure how, I think I might use buttons this time. Well the start: I might go "Iron Bretonnians"...... sounds fun... sounds really fun..... Comments and Questions welcome.

bretonnia Long Live Bretonnia! (A warcry Band)
IronCog replied to IronCog's topic in Painting and Modelling
I have to totally agree I'd Love to see a Bretonnian Warband our local group has though of making some simple rules but Idoneth Warcry warband really works well. I run 3 "Pegasus Eels" and 4 Archers don't win a lot but I have so much fun losing. So its been a while, I've been busy and well lazy. Today I did some work, now I know they look like snot rockets, but trust me its water effects. To be exact, Vallejo Water Texture: I found a cool base building tutorial I am going to try and incorporate into their bases. Here is the tutorial, its not mine I am just using it: Thanks for looking, Sincerely, IronCOG -
