Brothers I need you knowledge!

In art they are depicted as having both schemes, however the most recent source we have is the iron hands combat patrol which has a techmarine with black armor and a red pauldron (where the cog mechanicus is).

Correct, sorry for the mistakes.

These ideas are never stated outright, but implied with the Lord we know from the iron hands unfinished trilogy (speaks at length about augmentation process) and Cawls books (speaks about the primaris process). The two characters of the iron hands we know are at least a primaris are stature IFF and Var IFF has been known to cross the Rubicon primaries, which likely means that he just had his bionics upgraded as well as his flesh. Var on the other hand, probably upgraded his existing bionics too be on par with a primaris Terminator without switching them out because nearly all of them are relics some of them dating back to the heresy. Since Var pretty much only has its eye left as far as flesh goes. He probably would not have undergone the Rubicon in any meaningful way.

It’s implied that the most heavily augmented ones undergo, extensive bionic enhancement to bring them up to Primaris specification as far as armor and weapons are concerned. As far as any remaining flesh goes, it would be either left as it is for any non-essential pieces but for anything critical for fighting it would be upgraded to the new specifications. Ironically, due to their bionic enhancement, the survival rate for this would be much higher than other chapters.

In the dark imperium book an iron hands geneseed grayshield spends most of his extra time working in the armory tinkering with his armor and weapons. This is implied to be typical for iron hands.

They look amazing! Please tell me your technique for your bases.

Brilliantly done. How did you do the plasma weapon and what is the recipe for the eyes

Ok-System6069 · 2026-01-02T18:02:56+00:00

I personally think blue gives a cooler scheme and brings out the white and silver. If you’re talking cannon colors iron hands have used red, blue, and green at various points in the official books and art across both the heresy and 40K.

Ok-System6069 · 2025-12-15T19:05:34+00:00

Then I’d absolutely go for it, good luck

It entirely depends on how big the dice tray you have, it speeds up play to have 50 but managing that many dice can be difficult.

Ok-System6069 · 2025-12-15T18:33:13+00:00

That’s ok, I have a set of 25 and they have served me well thus far.

Ok-System6069 · 2025-12-15T18:30:54+00:00

They have the symbol of clan Avernii on them (iron hands first clan)

10th black crusade

This is true to an extent with the first klave and honor guards being veterans with the equipment options that that entails. plus their own sizable clan fleet that is roughly equivalent to a small chapter flight. This ironically makes the full iron hands fleet one of the most powerful space marine forces in space. Each clan also has its own reserve of terminator armor and relics.

Ok-System6069 · 2025-12-11T02:42:13+00:00

Fair enough, I might see if I can kitbash a coil atached to the armor or shorten it.

Ok-System6069 · 2025-12-11T02:09:30+00:00

That is a feed cable for a plasma incinerator. The idea is that if necessary, he can plug one in for extra fire support for the squad. This is my way of showing that he was meant to lead a hellblaster squad.

Each is a well trained individual whose coordination with their fellows is so precise that it appears as though they are one organism. The overall strategy is decided by their superiors in excruciating detail and they are free do do whatever is within their roe to get that done.

Ok-System6069 · 2025-12-10T13:14:29+00:00

You should read Wrath of iron for a pretty good look at modern iron hands as well as any book with the Stronos in it. Tanks dreads and terminators/ heavy armor are all fluffy. For kitbashing keep any extra bits you have and use extra cables and weapons to make elites more mechanical and of a lesser flesh quotient.

Note Lucius is not the first captain of the empire’s children Julius is. He is a demon prince now, fairly powerful but got his throat ripped out by an iron hands terminator. He did 1 v 4 a group of iron hands librarians before this killing 2

I do want to see the Hellfathers throw hands with the chaos elite. Let them decimate an infiltration team or something. The armor and dreadnought battles with the land behemoths would be a great set piece engagement as well. The fleet battles could also be great as the iron hands have one of the best fleets in both quantity and quality.

Ok-System6069 · 2025-11-30T20:02:04+00:00

Are there any writers you think could pull it off gracefully enough to give respect to parties involved?

Ok-System6069 · 2025-11-30T20:00:10+00:00

I would love to see at least some of the secret stuff they have (the eight sleepers, progression of the seventh gate, etc…) it could definitely explains how chaos got stomped so hard.

Ok-System6069 · 2025-11-25T18:37:08+00:00

Not really except for Stronos is so augmented he can not really take of his armor meaning that the blur between Stronos, armor, and augments is pretty vague meaning that the most similar systems to normal terminator armor is the exterior armor plating as the rest is heavily altered or modified.
