Big, Red & Angry!

05/11/202301/01/2026 ~ Iron Jarl ~ Leave a comment

So most of you will have heard of the game Warhammer 40,000, or 40k for short, but do you know the story of the blood crazed lunatic with butchers nails in his head that the Chaos god of War & Slaughter took a liking to? Well Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters Legion, was transformed by Khorne into a Daemon Primarch of Khorne, his Avatar of Destruction!

Moving forward from the ashes of the Horus Heresy and recently he has emerged once more to wreak havoc upon the Imperium of Man, the Red Angel is here…

A Dream Commission

𝕊𝕋𝕌𝔻𝕀𝕆 ℂ𝕆𝕄𝕄𝕀𝕊𝕊𝕀𝕆ℕ
𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗨𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗥: Games Workshop
𝗚𝗔𝗠𝗘: Warhammer 40,000 (40k)
𝗔𝗥𝗠𝗬: World Eaters
𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗟𝗘: Angron, Daemon Primarch of Khorne
𝗣𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗕𝗬: The Iron Jarl Ironskull Gaming Studios

A couple of years ago I had the pleasure of painting my first Primarch Miniature for Warhammer 40,000 having only previously painted these venerable leaders of the Emperor’s Legions for Horus Heresy and I loved it! The scale of these miniatures are awesome but I’d only dreamt of painting a Daemon Primarch, the biggest and baddest of all Primarchs… That is until recently when the Angriest of Daemon Primarchs arrived as a commission!

This mini is truly stunning and a joy to paint… Even if there are a gazzilion skulls to paint! Previously I painted a Bloodthirster and a Daemon Prince of Khorne for the same client so shouldn’t have been surprised to receive this commission but I truly am astonished every time someone chooses my services for such epic minis! Well enough babble from me, may I present to you Angron “The Red Angel”, Daemon Primarch of Khorne!

💀 Iron Within, Iron Without! – Rise of the Iron Warriors

So having sat down with the absolutely enormous box from Hoist the Colours – Models and Games I quickly realised that with 30 heretic astartes I needed some transport and a a hobbyist of some time I have many a box in the pile of shame/mountain of hobby and so I pulled out a rhino to transport some of the lucky Chaos Space Marines to the battlefield!

So this pile of hobby will soon be an Iron Warriors Army… But first a couple of quick conversions NOT in the current pledge…

Apocalypse Unleashed – Hoist the Colours

+++++ incoming data burst +++++
+++++ a tale of 4 apocalyptic gamers +++++
+++++ commander of chaos forces +++++

Hi, I’m the Iron Jarl at Ironskull Gaming. I was asked to join in a fun little Tale of 4 Gamers activity at my FLGS where we all would delve into a bit of Apocalypse fun with the launch of the new rule set by Games Workshop.

An avid fan of Warhammer 40,000 (40k) I usually do the loyalist forces so decided that I would go heretic and do a Chaos force.

Picking up a Chaos Detachment set from Hoist the Colours Games I just needed to decide what Legion I would do. I decided on Iron Warriors, firstly to pay homage to a project my Brother did in the early to mid 90’s which I thought was super cool, inspirational work by Christian Byrne in his Will of Iron series of White Dwarf articles and because of a good friend and ex-colleague Matt’s stunning 30k Iron Warriors army.

I will be posting lots of updates as this project progresses! Don’t forget to check out the latest deals on models for your army from:

Iron Jarl – out for now!

Burton Sci-Fi and Fantasy Con 2019

My local Games Workshop Stores (Burton and Derby) were in attendance at the Burton on Trent Sci-Fi and Fantasy Con 2019 so we popped along to take a look…

Burton Library is a great, spacious and welcoming location with a cafe on hand and I am surprised that there haven’t been more events held there to be honest.

We had Local Cosplayers in attendance including Ginger Nutz Cosplay who dressed up as a Munitorum Priest from Warhammer 40,000 as well as authors, film extras and craft stalls. Games Workshop’s James and Chris ran introductory games for Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer: Age of Sigmar while talking about these emersive universes and handing out sample miniatures, a voucher for a painting lesson, invite to their Crusader Events and Samples of their new Warhammer Adventure Novels – City of Lifestone and Attack of the Necron.

This was a great day out for all ages of Sci-Fi and Fantasy fans as you can see from the photographs by Danni Brooks Photography :-

Join us at next year’s event which the organisers have confirmed will be on 15/02/2020

Our Studio Team has just completed its first Primarch Commission…

We are pleased to present you our take on The Avenging Son: Roubute Guilliman – Primarch of the Ultramarines.

We were approached by a repeat customer to paint his Warhammer 40,000: Roubute Guilliman (Ultramarines Primarch) to Elite level. We are always happy to take on new commissions and we specialise in Character Commissions so this was a perfect fit for us.
