Can't find the really dark grey / metal ones I spotted previously. The all metal ones would be really lazy and I don't think I could force myself to do an IH's army that looked like chunky, dirty, Necrons.

Nice he looks like he's tried to do a blued steel NMM armour eh? Not bad tho! The FW ones are black with metal trim and they also look good, so I am undecided!

Hmmm ... Don't think I fancy trying NMM quite yet.
Surprisingly it seems he's using a white undercoat which seems a bit daft for such a dark look. Though whatever he's doing really works we'll. back to the drawing board .

Been playing around with the oop rhinos and the front of all of them will be having the domed front with an Iron Hands symbol. Just need to search through all of my bits now for the right parts. My test model will be painted this week as well. It's feeling good to finally make some progress with something hobby related.

Plan of action was get started on the painting up of some 30k models tonight. Ended up having to sort out a mates leg instead as he dropped a model and then tried to catch it with the hand holding a scalpel knife.
Thankful it went through a seam in his jeans which stopped the blade going in as deep as it could have done. He also missed any vital bits! :/
So other than cleaning up the bits for another 4 IH's not much more progress has been achieved. Once I get them undercoated I'll stick some wip pics up.

Thought I'd sorted everything required and now find I'm short on cleaned up arms so i need to clean up 4 pairs of arms before assembly can start. Other than the heads there isn't much option to get a decent pose with these models. Might have to do some chopping up.

Been looking at the HH books and trying to work out what to do with the Raven Guard side of things. I'm guessing the box standard tactical unit is the safest bet. Though 20 metal marines in just 2 positions might look a bit rubbish. Might be better to spread the metals over a few units and bulk out with plastics instead. I've got some of the RG beakie helmets so they'll look cool as well.
Going slow and thinking about stuff rather than blitzing through them is actually working out quite well.

Looking good so far Steve, now slap some paint on them. Pity there`s only 2 positions, so ya go with mixing them in with plastic units.
Doom....

Realised I'm unlikely to be able to get hold of lots of the RG pads I want so it looks like I'll be making some instead. Not sure if I'll gs my own pads or do a press mould or just cast the blighters up. Guess it depends on how many I'll end up needing.
Think I'll trim down a SW pad and take it from there as there's one with just a small rim on the bottom of the pad which can be trimmed very easily. Not done any gs detail work for a while so should be fun.

Hmmm ... So I can use normal TDA in 30k. All of sudden the IH's seem to have grown in numbers.
Just need to work out what arms they'll be having. Even if I just use the really old lead ones. I should have a reasonable number which should be good to show the ...
