Hey people,

Is it just me or do we hear nothing fluff wise about the Iron Hands??

I mean, they were one of the first founding chapters!! Everyone has heard of the other first founding, and they all have special characters in the SM dex, but Iron Hands are like virtually unheard of!!

What do you people think of this??

Thanks,

Its been this way for a while and many IH lovers are angry at thi because CF and BT, 2 successors of the Imperial fists get their own codex/character (yes, I know the rumours say BT rolled in) and love whereas the might X Legion gets a quote from a CM that they don't have. Don't quote me on that last bit, I may be mistaken but as I understand it IH have clans similar to SW Great Companies and no real CM, just clan leaders.

You can simulate IH with SW...
Actually makes more sense than using Vanilla marines in some cases...

Iron Hands got some love with the Battle Novels series:


A very cool look into their very unique organization. The new Codex has rules for Iron Hands, so it probably brings more fluff about them, so that should rectify the lack of knowledge
