So, i am going to dive back into modeling my fav SM chapter, Iron Hands. I discovered them about 4 years ago and instantly felt a lore connection.

What i am wondering is, what MK range is used in 30k setting? I hate primaris and 40k is all about primaris so, i have to model for 30k.

Finaly, any tips for shops whitin EU region that sells bionic limbs for use as replacments?

That's a loaded question, and there a few threads currently 'discussing' it. Basically, anything up to MK 4 until mid-Heresy, and MK 5 & 6 late-Heresy (but most Iron Hands were Shattered and poorly supplied, so might not have access to MK 6).

There's Anvil in the UK.

Well my local dealer has a small number of plastic GW mk3 kits, so perhaps that can be a starting point?

The key thing is to avoid the rather recognizeable Mk7 helmets. Many parts in the standard marine boxes already come from earlier patterns of armor, and some of the others can be converted to look a bit more Heresy-era. The telltale bulbous Mk7 knee pads are another very visible non-30k component that, if camoflaged or replaced, helps a mini look a bit more archaic.

Mks 3-6. Anything else is anachronistic. They're your models though. Do your thing.

Definitely

They're a fun kit too, I like how they're on the edge of steampunk and how the marines are kind of trudging and stomping instead of striding or squatting.
