How I Paint My Iron Warriors: Bringing it All Together

Now that I’ve gone through each step in depth, I wanted to put together an overview of all the steps together. So here we go…

How I paint Iron Warriors, Stage 1: Metal, Step 5: Devlan Mud Wash

Part 1: The Metals

Here is the fist step of every Iron Warrior: the silver/iron armor and gold trim. After priming the model black I them paint an even layer of Mithril Silver overall the metal areas. Shinning Gold and Iyanden Darksun are used to paint the trim. The model is then washed Black then Devlan Mud.

Part 2: The Leather

The leather areas are based with Vermin Brown then Snakebite Leather and highlighted with Bleached Bone. The areas are then washed with Ogryn Fleash

Part 3: The Bone

The bone areas are done next.  Khemri Brown is used as the base coat which is then highlighted with Bleached Bone then Skull White. Gryphonne Sepia is then washed over the bone to age it and redefine the grooves.

Part 4: The Daemon Blade

Orkshade Green is used as the base for the Daemon Weapon (count it as a relic blade, power sword, frost blade, or what ever). This is then highlighted with Goblin Green then Scorpion Green and finally Skull White. Thraka Green wash is then used to tie it all together.

Part 5: The Daemon Face

The Daemon Face is often adorned on the Chaos armor, in this case on the shield of one of my Chosen. The face is base coated Mechrite Red then highlighted with Blood Red, then Blazing Orange and finally Golden Yellow. The Tongue was based with Liche Purple and highlighted with Shadow Grey. The full face and tongue was then washed with Leviathan Purple

Part 6: The Base

Now the final touches are done on the model. I’ll go back and do any touch-ups at this point including any “lining in” with Chaos Black.

The base is first painted Graveyard Earth and then highlighted with Bleached Bone. Flock is then glued on in random clumps. Finally the rim is painted black.

The final step is to spray with matte varnish to protect the paint job.

I hope this multi-part guide has been of help for any would-be Warsmiths or any that could pull out tips for their own army. Let me know if there are any of my other models that you want to see a step-by-step for. It may give me an excuse for buying some more models!
