I can't decide if I should use my Contemptor with my Iron Warriors or my Iron Hands. For the Iron Warriors I have a battalion w 3x10 marines in rhinos, a spearhead with 3x3 Oblits, terminator lord, in progress Kharybdis, and a daemon prince. For the Hands I have a Vanguard with two shield vet biker squads, las dread, ironclad , dakka raven, biker captain /chaplain/ techmarine. For some reason I thought it could take a missile launcher on its head but apparently just a kheres AC or multi melta.

Relic Contemptor as Iron Hands mate, durable as feth. Ton of weapon options there too.

So what you're talking about is the codex variant. They get almost no options. What you want is the FW relic rules. No degradation on the move stat so you're bound to make the charge sooner, and tons more options. Also think they ignore wounds on a 6 already so if you combine that with Iron Hands it's slightly better.

Ah ha, I shall have to get the FW Astartes book then. Thanks!
