Just wanted to say - I really appreciate that you put captions on your vids. Lord knows there's people out there who absolutely *could*, but *don't*, for whatever reason.
In terms of a name for the Warband, how about "The Zinc-marked Host"? Zinc is a metal best known for being incredibly slow to corrode (it corrodes ~100x slower than iron), so the fact that they are corroding is both a reference to their founding Legion the Iron Warriors, and ironic twist, and communicates how long they have been in the warp.
It's not that it's slow to corrode that does help though, it also used for sacrificial parts it systems where things will corrode. We used zinc anodes in the heat exchangers for the AC's on our ship in the Navy, the salt water would corrode the zinc anodes first before eating at the rest of the system. You could totally say this was a force the Iron Warriors were willing to sacrifice first before sending the rest of the legion in, also verdigris in a bluish/green color that's on everything brass at sea, matching this rusty corrosion feel.
@@OffbeatBuildsI know I'm pretty late, but a common term for fortifying steel or iron with zinc is called galvanization, which I think is probably slightly easier to explain? The Galvanized Host doesn't sound half bad to me
The Oxidian Hand. Oxidian represents the absolute highest rank of joke that is certified by the guild of chaos jesters, known as "the puun". The puun is usually manifested when a word is made by combining two other words - in our case oxidized and obsidian. Looking at them now, it is pretty obvious why oxidized was chosen as a first half of this puun, but why obsidian? Glad you've asked. You see, this before pledging his services to the chaos, this chapter's leader Broot Cobbler, was a famous ork hunter and disk jockey who once tore a daemonic obsidian hand from a corrupted ork warboss. He knew that it would be a heresy to keep such an artifact, but he also knew that it would be a heresy to rob the world of a chance to hear his mighty tectonic beats enhanced by a tiny bit of harmless warp magic. Oh, the night of Broot's first concert after obtaining the hand was a night to remember. Most of his chapter went to see it, and some say most of that chapter is still with him, dancing to the cacophony of destruction. All because of that damned hand.
as for my Daemon Prince. i converted a plastic contemptor dreadnought with the Obliterator theme, making an Obliterator Daemon prince :) but love the cataphractii chaos terminators, might make some myself :D
i ran into this issue with my (somewhat similarly made) iron warriors, i love horus heresy models and used them, but the cataphractii compared to the new sculpt termies are like babies :(
Good production value, interesting conversion projects AND proper subtitles, now this is some pro content. I feel like I found a hidden gem just now as I stumbled on your channel.
Dude. I've been going through a massive mental/emotional slump and, therefore, hobby dry spell for a while. I have a whole dedicated desk that's sat cluttered for months, and a pile of shame thats just all half finished 40k, bolt action, and two fucking model ww2 fighters i wanted to pose on string. I needed this. This has sparked a love and interest for the crafting side of this hobby again that i was actually beginning to worry was gonna be on the back burner or stuck in the walk-in for who knows how much longer. Thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Much love to you and all my fellow hobbyists from East Detroit. It does get better, you never know how, when, or why. ❤ EDIT: Maybe call them the Worn Order? Because the color palette and rust does scream a patina on bronze due to weathering and wear! I'm six months late to the party, bur there's my two cents on naming these homies.
Absolutely love the way you have built the scopes on the bolters - ive been making a heresy army and was thinking about how to make recon marines, this is perfect
This was such a good watch! Just getting into the hobby again after a long (20yr) break & love the concept of an army that can be noob friendly but also be used to show how far your painting/kitbash/modelling skills have evolved. Filled me with inspiration & ideas for a chaos army if I make one.
These look so dope, love me some turquoise, kitbashing, AND Iron Warriors. The editing and presentation are top notch and the script is pretty entertaining. I look forward to what you make in the future bud!
Just found your videos. This one in particular resonated with me on a spiritual level. So I went through and watched the rest of your videos. Can we have more please?
I love seeing this because even though I'm just getting back into warhammer, and I've painted my own color scheme in the past, I feel somewhat pressured or encouraged at least to follow the step-by-step tutorial in the handbook. I mean...I have but more so I can get back into paitning, and nearly 8 hours later I have 5 models.... never said I was quick or efficient
Depending on how they approach the rust theme, it could be quite a few names. "The Everusting" if they don't like it, can't do anything against it, but use it against others, because what else is left? "Entropied Brethren" if they embraced the concept and spread it like papa Nurgle spreads his gifts. If you want to be a little ironic, and all silly go with "Antioxidizers". Finally, if you want it to be a bit pretentional, yet anegdote worthy, name them Group CLF3. ClF3 is the chemical formula of Chlorine Trifluoride, made in 1930 by some "peculiar" german scientists. It is an oxidizer beyond compare, it self-ignites when you look at it wrong, it explodes water on contact, creates caustic and corrosive gasses and/or acids when burning and is able to ingite: glass, wet sand, asbestos and everthing you love and cherish. Burning at 2 400 degrees Celsius, it can almost boil steel and go through concrete and gravel like they were out of butter. Fun stuff.
I've got no names in mind for your army, but an army I'm slowly kitbashing is Bane of Tartarus. They're a homebrew of mine that's been shattered by the heresy and now has to 1. Rebuild their home world and 2. Fight against the forces of chaos and the other half of the legion.
How about an ironic (no pun intended) name, like "The Purified", or something like that. Referring to how their souls have been "purified" by Chaos' touch, even though their physical form is corroded and decayed.
Must admit I've never seen your videos before, but RU-vid recommended this one to me. I love it! The editing style, the narration and instruction, AND those models LOOK INCREDIBLE. Instant sub from this modest UK Warhammemmererer 🥳
Name Suggestion could be the Viridian Cohort. "Viridian" referencing a shade of blue-green that's *close* to the one these guys are painted in, also vaguely like the "verdigris" patina on copper. "Cohort" referencing them as a sub-division of a Legion, implying that this particular warband still sees itself as part of the greater Iron Warriors Legion. Hell, with all the AoD parts you used, maybe these guys actually are veterans of the Long War, their original "cohort" being whittled down over 10,000 years until only a single "century" remains- the lads in the thumbnail.
Given the theme of corrosion over time, how about something like "The Entropy Warriors" or "The Legion of Entropy"? Entropy has a double meaning here; firstly in the more obvious sense that their machines and weapons are gradually breaking down from extended warp exposure, but also that the concept of entropy is central to the second law of thermodynamics, which, in short, states that ordered systems over time will trend towards chaos, which is perfect for a chaos warband!
Finding out that the Chris Hayes I used to Sim Race with is now a Warhammer RU-vidr - be still my beating heart! Good to see and hear your commentary again mate!
I don't know about the legion, but I could really see the Demon prince being called something like the Rust walker sure it's a bit on the nose but I think it sounds cool and walker is a nice nod at it being mainly a machine
There is a term in material science known as " galvanic corrosion" which is a concept where one metal corrodes in order to protect another. If youve ever seen weird blocks at the bottom of dock pillars, they might be blocks of metal made to corrode in place of key alloy components in the structure. all this to say, you might name your warband known as "The galvanic enclave/host/other noun, for just as one metal corrodes to protect another metal, as on their armors, so to do these marines fight and die for something other than their individual lives. another way to go might be: the (high sounding noun like lords) of galvanic entropy.
The blue looks like copper verdigris. Maybe something like the Cuprum Host? Or the Verdigris Drinkers? The Verdigris Reavers? Oxidized Remains? Yeah I like Oxidized Remains
Super sweet quick little video, that must have taken a good amount of effort to put together sir. I quite loved it and will pass it on! I like the idea of helping you with a name. The instant thoughts that came to mind was the word play with inheritance, and that has some nice synonyms to it. Sons of Heritage, Heirloom Sons, something in this perhaps with your own twist. Have fun!
The Temuan legion, because they look like alpha legion ordered from temu with all of that rust. They look awesome, but yeah it does kinda look like particularly grimy alpha legion
love the colourscheme, really great stuff there! And I appreciate the lack of faux-tension in your deadline. For a name, how about "The Untarnished" ? Maybe that was the nickname for this legion before the fall to chaos, so now its a bit of an ironic moniker.
Verdigras Regulators would be a cool name in my opinion. It has the high gothic pseudo Latin sound and it’s basically the same thing as rust but for other metals. Also thats what your paint pattern resembles more than rust, I admit I clicked this video hoping it was an alpha legion army. As for the regulators part of the name, Idk thought it sounded cool, you can interchange it with any other title suffix.
Ok so this is the first video ive ever seen of yours and i immediately subbed. Im currently workin on an iron warriors army myself. But this is definitely next!
Great video, although I would suggest a change in the order of things in the painting process. I'd probably add the dirty down as a final touch as its effect and ultra mattness is damaged by the subsequent steps in the video. Luckily, it's an easy fix if you choose to take heed of my unsolicited advice, you can just do another layer of dirty down on top.
Great video, I've always floated the idea of making alternative Nurgle Iron Warriors inspired by the lore mixing Death Guard and CSM bits. As for your warband name... The Ferrous Fists?
Looks really amazing. Sometimes it is good to set a deadline for yourself and try to do it. Gods know I have too many damn projects because my mind always gets an idea!! Masters of iron. Simple name. Maybe The host of Iron? Wardens of Iron! Iron Wardens! A small play on IRON WARRIORS, That would be IRONic 🙂
"Cursed Brotherhood", is what I think you should name them. Giving them a name that includes words like 'Rust' or 'Entropy' might well sound cool, but I prefer a name that has some subtext; someone looking at your army and seeing their corroded armor would have to work out why they're called the Cursed Brotherhood and that requires imagination and thought process, ultimately making your army more interesting to look at. (Or at least, that's what I figure.)
Awsome job dude. I toyed with doing something similar with deathgaurd but call them the depthguard 😂 never happened but i did paint up typhus in a turquoise and rust scheme
