Tips

Hints for this army
1 The armure metallic is single parmi the legions — The weathering Wyldwood (Contrast) in the recoins imite the rouille and the usure industrielle en a passage
2 The chevrons yellow/black are the signature iconic of Iron Warriors — Take soin of the paint proprement, they cassent the monotonie of the metal
3 The chipping Ironbreaker then Stormhost Silver on the arêtes after the weathering renforce the aspect armure of war battue
4 The Iron Warriors méprisent all ostentation — Pas of dorures ni of marquages décoratifs inutiles, seuls the chevrons d'avertissement ont droit of cité
