Ferrus Mannus Ironhands did you know?

85 Upvotes

On this sub you can select "user flair" that will display your Iron Hands Clan afilation (both pre and post Heresy) OR even your Succesor Chapter (If you swing that way, just scroll down to the bottom, they are there!).

I'm seeing a lot of posts from people who may not be aware of this (fun) feature of our sub.

The great clans of Medusa predate even the arrival of our Primark Ferrus Manus. And despite the ultimate and tragic weakness of his flesh, we was wise enough to incorporate that clan structure into his legion.

So let us honour our homeworld by displaying our Clan markings ... as user flair.

I think I'm going to pin this post for a little while to spread the word.

I'll start with the obvious one. Spoilers to Wrath of Iron, if somebody on this sub hasn't read it yet for whatever reason.

‘You forget who you’re fighting, son of Fulgrim,’ he said, drawing the weapon high. Despite himself, despite all that had happened, a crooked grin spread across what remained of his face. ‘It’s a long time since I had hearts.’

Misc. "The Flesh is Weak" Guardians of the Abyss

Guardians of the Abyss chapter symbols - assorted colours. Anybody have a better suggestion for marble?

Description in WD#515 mentions "...with addition of a skull transfer in the middle". This is my first guess at what that means. I guess this could be a SGT or Command variant.

Really interesting heraldry. Lots that could be done with it (wreath, diamonds overhead, shield overlays).

If you use these. Credit me, or show me what you make!

Sons of Medusa (new+old version), Brazen Claws (normal+quartered version), Red Talons (normal+claw-only-alternative), Knights of Byzantium (normal+alt colour) & Star Dragons (favorite chapter)

Star Dragons are a suspected IH successor. But they may actually be White Scars successors (they conduct ritual scarring). Or Salamanders if you want to be lazy, because "dragon".

Heyo all!! Painting up a lil Praevian for my iron warriors heresy force and in the process before adding the brass to the trim trim and hazard stripes he looked very iron hands so I wanted to share him here!

Black is amongst my favourite colours to paint and whilst I don’t have any iron hands forces, this gave me a greater appreciation of their colour pallette! The coldness of the black and silver being punctuated by the dots of warmth with visible skin and the dots of colour from lenses make for great points of focus

Nothing else to share on this one but hope y’all enjoy! ☺️

Spent all day putting together my Ferrus Manus model I've had on the back burner for a long time, was really happy with how the face was turning out until I got too hasty using an oil wash and accidentally stripped the layers of paint down to the resin...

Lesson learned. Hopefully I get lucky with the eyes a second time.

40K Rules Discussion Do we have any use for a Captain in Gravis?

Post image
112 Upvotes

I'm mostly into collecting minis rather than actual tabletop, but i want to slowly get myself a functional army by slowly adding the minis i like into my collection. So i'm trying to not buy stuff that i won't be able to eventually use on the tabletop. I like this model quite a lot, but not sure if it has a place in the Iron Hands army.

With Iron Hands being traditionally inclined towards Dreadnoughts and now Termies, i'm not sure if Gravis leader is viable, especially considering we have Feirros and Var.

I'd probably get him eventually anyway but now i want to focus more on things that are useful in an army than simply good looking.

So, if i get my hands on this model, would i be able to field it without sacrificing much? Do you guys use him?
