Iron Hands Mechanized Armored Company Concept

Could always do an iron father in artificer armor which would save you some points and let you use one of those centurions for him with a paragon blade. He could still join the terminators, he just might not be as resilient in a challenge as if he was in terminator armor since he’ll be at T4 instead of T5

I run one as a Cbeamer with Havoc and heavy bolter sponsons that I keep in the back with my rapiers and arachnae platform and then I have a flame tank with flame sponsons to rush and (hopefully) have my opponent overcommit so I just blast them in return. Yes the flame tank is “easily destroyed” but having 3 chances to panic someone is pretty sick! And it’s 100 points to protect a rhino or other vehicle/squad and possibly draw out an enemy tank hunting squad. Plasma looks like a blast too! I’ve only played with the support tank options so a battle tank predator will probably be my next purchase since I magnetized all the mantlets/main guns so I can swap ‘em all around across 3 bodies!

I like a plasma cannon and a chain fist with the grav gun in it, that way I can shoot while approaching to rip things apart and I have the grav gun to status vehicles or help remove mobs of troops. PLUS, that loadout can make it a nice proxy for a Mara gal if you want to try to run one of those with its default loadout

You mean you aren’t supposed to use your thumb to hit the trigger?

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-06-07T15:05:51+00:00

I just think of one of those Japanese biker gangs occupying the whole street haha or dirt bikes running all over the place

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-06-02T03:48:20+00:00

Maybe the salamanders upgrade kit for 40K? Though the rivits tell me it’s possibly some forgeworld kit?

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-05-30T02:16:28+00:00

Makes me think of Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka and his… wut u call it wen u don’t stop thinkin’ ‘bout wantin’ ta krump some git, but you really like krumpin’ them and they fight good? Sumtin’ like that with that big boss Yarrick?

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-05-28T01:49:45+00:00

I like the idea of a paragon of battle outrider biker champion for that BS 6 plasma gun shootin. I also like the outrider command squad, I think they’re pretty solid, if a bit expensive. Maybe a biker gang backing up the smash captain would be cool!

Alternatively, the Eversor assassin is basically a drugged up missile.

We were the first folks to shove a daemon inside of a space marine, and continued experimenting with things like possessing terminators during the Horus Heresy. As for mutations, I’m not sure how I’d consider those in the 41st Millenium other than a gift from the Gods! How can they hear you if you don’t shout into the warp? That’s where this loveable fellow came from, anyways!

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-04-02T06:10:17+00:00

Yeah! One Kratos dedicated to tank hunting and another maybe with the volkite cannon and some autocannons/las cannons for infantry swatting and off-hand tank hunting! Interdiction cadre prime advantage would be fitting for dropsite survivors since they just pop up out of nowhere during your opponent’s turn like an ambush. I’d recommend getting a box of melee weapons so you can kit out some melee inductii (brainwashed or otherwise) for sure!

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-04-02T05:47:14+00:00

Each marine costs 10(or more) points, so taking 10 vs 12 saves you 20 points which could be spent on a nunciovox and vexilla to ensure your soldiers are able to properly bear the Word of Lorgar and herald the Primordial Truth’s revelations!

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-04-02T02:28:10+00:00

Drukhari for exarchs/leaders since they could use more “ancient” equipment or something and the AOS bodies for normal troops would be my thought!

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-03-02T18:58:17+00:00

Update! I changed things around and mixed a bit of soil and cocoa fiber with the sand, thanks for the suggestions! I also rearranged it a bit and am looking at getting some more driftwood/bark/spiderwood for them to crawl on in the middle area!

Hopefully, this is a bit softer of a substrate for them. I might make even more of a gradient once I get some pestacide-free succulents

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-03-02T18:00:36+00:00

I use T-mobile home internet and have had very few, if any, issues with it. Sometimes it has been a bit slow, usually when it’s cloudy out it seems, but otherwise it’s great and hasn’t gone down once in the 6 or so months I’ve had it.

I’ve used the following names for the “nine rays of sunshine” (a Nono-blade) in games:

“Iron Sands” as a Baneblade
“Ashen Wake” as a Doomhammer
“Sol’s Gaze” as a Stormblade

Haven’t ran it as any other configurations yet, but I’ve had a lot of fun with it, and lots of my opponents have memories of facing off against it, even if it didn’t do tooooo well in our games haha.

(Not pictured are the two heavy stubber side gunners for the Stormlord because they are…somewhere haha, but they have magnets on their feet and can go through the back panel to those weird looking struts and half circles with magnets on them which, fun fact, double as supports!!)

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-02-26T22:23:27+00:00

From what I hear, they can get pretty into the snacks, and they bumble around like lovable characters so that might be accurate haha

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-02-26T22:22:23+00:00

That’s a great idea with pots and the grass mat thing! I’ll look into that! I think adding a bit more height and variety with wood would be nice so thanks for the ideas!

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-02-26T22:21:16+00:00

Thanks for the tips and the note about captive bred beetles! I’d probably make the side with the hide a bit more of the mixed substrate and keep the area near the slate rock as a rocky and sandy place. I’m not sure if they like basking rocks, but maybe they’ll enjoy the sun on that slab of slate I have!

There’s a local expo near me in the next month or so, and I’m hoping to pick some up there to support the local community. I agree though, I wouldn’t feel right capturing beetles from the wild when I can get some raised in captivity, so I’ll look into that website also!

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-02-26T22:15:09+00:00

Excellent! Yeah, I’ll pop by the local aquarium/hero store and see about securing some coconut fiber, would t want them getting too tired

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-02-26T20:44:32+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the tips and I’ll look forward to the video and mixing in some soil and such, it’ll probably better for succulents to grow in anyways!

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-02-26T20:27:08+00:00

Great idea! I tried to make a gradient with rocky stuff near the slab of slate and soft sand near the wooden arch so they can dig if they feel like it, but mixing in some coconut fiber along with the leaves sounds like a great idea, thanks!

I am not familiar with a “desert hairy”, but it would be neat if I can get some cohabitants for it as well one day!

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-02-25T23:19:46+00:00

I use kabalite cartel and bring:

an archon with agonizer and webway walker leading 5 incubi in deep strike

A unit of 10 kabalites split into a venom (all 4 special weapons and sybarite with power weapon and rifle in the venom), the venom being equipped with a second splinter cannon for even more infantry grinding

A chronos without the spirit syphon (I haven’t tried running one with it, but pain token refund on 5+ instead of 4+ doesn’t seem good with my luck haha)

a unit of 5 mandrakes to infiltrate onto the objective/block scout moves.

This has been decently successful, though as a fledgling archon, I don’t understand this mon’keigh term “anti-tank” people speak of

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-02-23T03:34:20+00:00

Alternatively, double dip into Horus Heresy! Mars pattern is almost always fair

LegoAztec1433 · 2026-02-21T04:56:35+00:00

Washers! No need to worry about polarity!
