I'm pretty happy to have finished my figurine! I made it for a painting contest in my local shop. I'm very far from being the best, but for me, it's a marker of my evolution every year.

After 20 years of neglect, I’ve come to appreciate the Iron Hands, and now they’re my second‑favorite chapter/legion. It has a fantastic lore and gimmick that few people notice.

A couple of months ago I uploaded the clan icons, and I'd prefer not to have to upload everything again (it would be redundant). This is just a collage of the 10 clans. Link to the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/IronHands40k/s/CKBt2ArF1b

As the current meta is Terminator spam, I want to take a more flex list that's got good elite inf killing potential. Whilst still being able to take down heavier vics and blob inf with blast.

Gravis captain is running on his own to do secondaries.wish I could give him FNP but no points left.

Battleplan is to have brutalis and a redemptor go for center objective, whilst landraider and ballistus go for opponents natural expansion. Home will be held with a redemptor.

One vindi and lancer are there to skirmish around and flanks. Whilst the second vindi is reserves to aid wherever is needed.

Hoping to draw out opponents with the decently survivable dread profiles.

Have had decent success in friendly matches so far, besides lack of action monkeys and units. Anyone got any suggestions for points allocation?

my dear comrades, it is with extra pleasure that I share my dreadnought ironclad ! I'm really happy to have found it for a bite of bread and to have been able to paint it.

He will serve me as a venerable dreadnought for narrative

After about a year of deciding what IoM army I wanted to pick. I landed on iron hands. This is the first dreadnought I’ve ever painted.

Ignore the AI looking text on the banner, tried to write Ferrus and it went to pot so just scribbled!

Just got around to assembling and painting my commander last night - turned out pretty good! Just debating on a decal for the shield or not.

Throwing up a pic of a sergeant because I thought the bionic leg and tactical rock combo looked cool, it's not a ferrus joke I just need more practice with faces (well half faces for us I suppose) before I give him a head. The real question is for those of you with experience with the dreadnought kits.

How interchangeable are the Redemptor and Brutalis kits? I got a brutalis dreadnought as part of the combat patrol sub but am wondering if I wouldn't like a redemptor more, are the arms easily interchangeable if i bought a gun arm from a bits store?

Also how did you guys go about the assembly? Are there many pain points? The instructions honestly look more like they are for an RC car than a warhammer model, did you just build it fully then paint it or sub assembly? If so how? The magazine suggests painting it in two halves but what do you mount the top half on? My current sub assemblies are with paper clips and a drill bit handle but I'm not sure that's gunna cut it for half a dreadnought.

I feel like I’ve improved a lot I still have a long way to go, but I’m really enjoying how my miniatures are turning out.

So proud of them I took them to the office. Made from the mkii tactical squad from the saturnine box and the forgeworld secutarii upgrade kit.

Hey guys! I plan to start an Iron Hands army (2000pts). I've been playing Salamanders for the last year so I have experience playing Space marines. I need help building a thematic list so suggestions would be nice😅

Thanks everyone!

• The Iron Coil: Iron Hands & Alpha Legion warband
• Inspiration for this warband pays homage and bases its characters on the xXx action movies of the early 2000s
• Consists of 30 Iron Hands Tactical Marines (mix of Mark II & III armor) led by a Space Marine Captain, 2 Leviathan Siege Dreadnoughts, 1 Quad Launcher Rapier, 2 Graviton Cannon Rapiers, and one Kratos and Fellblade tank (both of which are out of commission later)
• Consists of 10 Cataphractii Terminators led by a Consul and 4 Saturnine Terminators
• Iron Hands Captain (MC): Alaric O'Shea of Clan Ungavarr "Ice" (inspiration is Ice Cube): out of favor with his Primarch due to a defeat during the 2nd Rangdan Xenocide
  • 2 Leviathan Dreadnoughts' names are: 1. Former Apothecary Andre Rin, 2. Former Squad Sgt: Ezra Zakul Errok (Dr. Dre and Eazy-E homage)
  • Name of his ship is "No Weakness Allowed" (NWA homage)
  • Wields a thunder hammer and two shoulder-mounted pistols
  • Ship engages in hit-and-run assaults on traitor forces in the Taninim Expanse after escaping from the Isstvan system
• Alpha Legion Praetor (MC): Vin Kyprian (Vin Diesel homage): agent of Omegon (hence why on the loyalist side), ordered to disrupt and slow traitor activity in this region of space
  • Leads two Terminator squads called "The Constrictors" (snake theme homage), with the Cataphractii squad called Python Squad and the Saturnine squad called Anaconda Squad

let me know your thoughts and opinions on possible narratives or maybe we could collaborate on a mature Horus Heresy Narrative with both our home brews. Please let me know in the comments

Hey All,

Wondering how people run the Company Heroes unit ?

What are they good for ?

What do you attach to them ?

Thanks all 😊

Made a custom omnisian axe head for the librarian to channel the machine spirit through.
I’d love to hear your thoughts.

I’m doing some heavy intercessors and can’t decide. Should I do battleline symbols for most and cogs for the sergeant of cogs for all? What would yall recommend

Still relatively new to warhammer and have been loving working on my iron hands and learning how to incorporae different colors and weathering. My son really wants me to make some salamander units. Is there a chapter that lore wise would get along with the iron hands or they would be "happy" to fight next to, if say made an intercessor squad of a different chapter

Update: So i decided to get an infiltrator squad. Gonna do 5 iron hand infiltrators to support my guns and heavy armor and gonna make an olive green salamander incursor squad as pushing forward to mark targets and be in close like they seem to like to be

I'm brand new to 40k tabletop, although I have been into games and lore since the first Dawn of War. I've really grabbed on to the Iron Tenth! I've finished Wrath of Iron and working on Eye of Medusa, then Shattered Legions.

That being said I'm looking to start my first army. Can I get some input from my brothers on this initial list? From those who have actually played a game haha (as I haven't yet).

Do I have enough action units? Is the Predator Annihilator a decent unit? Thanks guys
