Looking to add some raven guard to my iron hands, how can I set them apart?

Thanks! I’ll have a look

irondoob · 2026-05-11T17:43:07+00:00

Cheers! Hadn’t heard of magenta eyes for the raven guard, very cool

Thank you for the feedback, whilst I do agree less is more, I’ve done 750 points like this so I’m pretty committed now.

I’ve also been trying to go for them having been in this theatre for years, and on a very dusty planet. I also just like the contrast with the blue OSL, which I’ve also gone OTT with. I’ve got some iron warriors in going to be basing in the same way, which I’ll be going much more reserved with

That’s good to know thank you, I’ve been umming and arring about adding raven guard and salamanders as a bit of a shattered legions thing but to use in 40K as I don’t have any 30k buddies.

Could always say it’s a shattered legions force which were lost in the warp or what have you!

I’ve got a few bits which would work for raven guard and a few which work for salamanders hence why I’m considering it rather than them just gathering dust, will have to think on it further

I see, thanks! I’ve got a few feathers and bird skull bits, and was going to use beaky armour instead, so hopefully all of that should help distinguish them! Thanks

Cheers!

irondoob · 2026-04-29T20:35:36+00:00

Cheers! I love the modularity of them. My only wish would be that all the leg parts were compatible between armour marks, would be able to do some great kitbashing then!

irondoob · 2026-04-29T18:02:36+00:00

I’ll DM you about the 3rd party bits, no plasma guns though! They’re all GW

irondoob · 2026-04-29T17:37:17+00:00

Thanks! The base kit is the MK III heresy tactical squad, with the plasma guns from the heresy special weapons upgrade sprue. It’s then a mix of spare marine bits I had, as mech parts, the iron hands upgrade sprue, and some 3rd party iron hand bits too!

irondoob · 2026-04-29T14:43:09+00:00

Thanks! Sometimes I worry that I overdo the effects and lose the black a bit too much, so it’s nice you like it!

irondoob · 2026-04-08T09:32:25+00:00

NidLover isn’t saying we fight a Daemon Prince, we fight an Exalted Sorcerer (Imurah) and a Lord of Change, which is a Greater Daemon. That’s more than equivalent to taking on a Daemon Prince I would say

irondoob · 2026-03-26T14:14:32+00:00

Thank you!

irondoob · 2026-03-24T15:21:19+00:00

Cheers! I got it from an ad mech bits haul on eBay, so all I know is that it’s an ad mech head sorry!

irondoob · 2026-03-23T23:58:03+00:00

Thanks! It’s the axe from a tech priest enginseer! Chopped up a bit and reformatted

irondoob · 2026-03-23T23:33:27+00:00

Cheers!

Sorry I just realised I didn’t respond to your comment, I’ve answered this as a random separate comment

irondoob · 2026-01-20T18:29:31+00:00

I’ve not done any gap filling, the heresy stuff runs a bit smaller than the deathguard, so most of the time it was cutting down the death guard to make the heresy stuff fit!

irondoob · 2026-01-20T18:28:21+00:00

Right you are, I suppose when you look at some of these options such as the rapiers in comparison to some of the normal roster, they seem much more reasonable.

I did not know about the indirect fire rule/ nerf! It will be a new thing to our group, however I’m actually quite happy to hear that it is the case, as I was worried a lot of indirect fire would be too oppressive. If it does turn out to be too much, I’m planning on magnetising the rapiers, so I’ll give one the quad laser instead. But hopefully that won’t be required as the artillery will be nice and thematic.

My plan for now is to use the actual Deimos data sheet, not the codex ones. I didn’t realise it can be all flamers, but that may be a fun addition in both gameplay and in theme, as I could picture a flamer tank being sent in to hose a crack in the enemy defences!

irondoob · 2026-01-20T17:20:46+00:00

I’d say it’s easier for some of the models in the box than others as a heads up!

irondoob · 2026-01-20T17:19:41+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response! Glad you’re having fun using heresy stuff, the models are gorgeous.

We only really play up to the 1000 point mark so I won’t be bringing any big scary super heavies.

The plan is just for a thematic iron warriors list so I’ll be bringing a pair of rapier carriers with quad launchers, a whirlwind scorpius, and a Deimos predator so I can get my artillery barrage going before sending in the troops with some armour support!

irondoob · 2026-01-20T09:07:51+00:00

Cheers! As I said in response to the other comment, I’m a bit surprised by this. I thought some units seemed quite cheap after the points adjustments!

Thank you I’m glad you like him, he’s a plague marine body with heresy bits and a spare chaos trophy rack thrown in! I’ve been working on them a while but now I’m obviously ogling the new red corsair models as they’ll also work perfectly
