Iron Brotherhood Angel - Adeptus Mechanicus



This is a Micro Art Studios miniature from their Iron Brotherhood range. These are very Adeptus Mechanicus. It is mounted on an Iron Halo Deus ex Machina resin insert. The resin of the model is very clean but it needs roughing up where sections are to be glued as superglue does not 'bite' well on the smooth surface. I used the old Milliput dodge to attach the wings. You put a layer of superglue in the socket, then a small ball of well mixed Milliput epoxy-resin clay, and finally another deab of superglue. The wing attachment is then pushed into the socket. The result is a fast, strong, attachment.

The model has a very simple layered paint job. It was sprayed with Citadel white undercoat then base painted black and Citadel mechrite red. Layers of Citadel tin bitz and shining gold were used to build up highlights on the metalic parts and Revel fiery red on the red sections. The base is Citadel scorched brown glazed with fiery red.

While on the subject of Micro Art


While on the subject of Micro-Art, they have announced pre-orders for a range of infantry for their Iron Brotherhood range: Adeptus Mechanicus, Renegades, Guard?

As usual with Micro Art, top quality models but they are sold in pairs for Eight Euros a time. If you are well heeled......

Micro-Art Bases

I have bought some Microart bases in the past. Their quality is unmatched but they are expensive. These lovely new 25mm 'trench' bases are about a Euro each.
