  • Iron within! Iron without! The Iron Warriors from Warhammer 40,000 are a fan favourite and are a seriously fun army to both paint and collect. In this video we show you how to approach painting the Sons of Perturabo from beginning to end. We cover tons of great techniques, everything from using Contrast Paints over metal, how to paint their iconic hazard stripes and of course, because they are really, really evil, we show you how to paint their glowing red eyes.

    I haven't painted for almost a decade now, but I've got a small tip for people with the issue about steady hands and picking out small details: get a chair that allows you to sit very low next to your desk or painting table, so that you can really rest your arms and elbows on the table top.
    Most of people's hand tremors come from muscle tension in the arms, so if you can relax as many muscles of your arms as you can, your hands will be much more steady and it'll be easier to pick out very small edges of the trim, or the eyes of the miniature.

    “We go in pursuit of the green skins, if we had struck sooner my commanders would have wasted more lives than necessary and perhaps yours would have been counted among them. The Iron Warriors will complete the purge, your warriors may rest you have played your part”
    “That’s it then? You watch my brothers die and you leave without another word?”
    “Yes, and here in lies the final lesson, you appear like stone ,Imperial Fist but you merely clad yourself in it, my legion and I, we are not only sheathed in iron. We ARE iron. Both without and within”
    I love that talk down, it’s so cool.
