I need brainstorming help for constructing a 1500 point mechanized Space Marines list using Iron Hands tactics. I own many Land Raiders, Predators, Vindicators, Rhinos, Razorbacks, Whirlwinds and Dreadnoughts.

I just can't seem to figure out how to best use my troops and so far my lists have done mediocre. Ideally I'd love to run a unit of Hammernators in a Raider, but this isn't an absolute. I face all kinds of opponents but my local meta lacks flyers. Please help. Thanks.

Iron Hands running dual raiders is great in 1,500... especially if there are few flyers in your area.

Here is my favorite Iron Hands 1,500 list:

HQ
Chapter Master 250
-Thunder Hammer, The Shield Eternal, Artificer Armor, Bike

Elites
5 Assault Terminators 225
-Thunder Hammers & Storm Shields

5 Assault Terminators 225
-Thunder Hammers & Storm Shields

Troops
5 Tactical Marines 135
-Plasmagun, Combi-Plasma, Sergeant has Meltabombs, Rhino

5 Tactical Marines 135
-Plasmagun, Combi-Plasma, Sergeant has Meltabombs, Rhino

Heavy Support
Land Raider Crusader 260
-Multi-Melta

Land Raider Crusader 260
-Multi-Melta

1,490

I can never figure out what to spend the last 10 points on, but this list is very good (albeit a little unbalanced). You can exchange the Chapter Master for a Librarian, using the remaining points to add a 10-man Tactical Squad with Melta/Combi-Melta in a Rhino.
