I'm back from an extended vacation with the family. It was a blast, and I even got to play a lot of games, but I've been itching to get back to painting so... here we go!
Before I took off I'd almost finished the first of three Iron Empire Mecha. Its shown here with I.E. Army standard Vera Kreabbenhoft for scale. She's wasn't stable on her base so has been weighted with a metal washer.... nothing bothers her now! But it does make her base slightly taller than usual.
I use these for Necrontyr (precursors to the Necron) in my own little pocket universe... although I hope to one day use them for actual Iron Empire when Raging Heroes gets the game ready.
I continued the Purple and Cream color scheme here and most of the army will be in a similar scheme... with the exception of cyber zombies and maybe some shock troops/assault specialists.
The other two mecha are also pretty far along so I expect to have them up soon. These models are completely ball joint in construction which gives a very wide range of posing options... but makes them just a tiny bit tricky to assemble! I wouldn't have it any other way of course and I learned a lot about assembly from this lead model.
The first Iron Empire Mecha strides into action!
