I like to play Iron Hands, and recently I have gotten interested into their background and fluff. I was wondering if someone could please direct me to sources for their background, novels ect. From what I have gotten from skimming the horus heresy books is they had a lot to do with making Terminator armor and were/are in possesion of most of it and distributed it to the other marines? If this is accurate why don't they have more Terminator related rules?

Aside from the fluff in the Space Marine codex, both the Clan Raukaan Space Marine supplement and the Iron Hands chapter in the Forgeworld Horus Heresy codex offer a ton of info about them.

Also, if you haven't already checked it out, check out the lexicanum.

Nah, Clan Raukaan was not that bad. It retconned some good parts of the Iron Hands (which you must ignore), but it also added a nice story, and expanded on the Iron Hand's inner conflict.
You should definitely check out Wrath of Iron. It is by far the best piece of Iron Hands fluff you will find.
Don't bother with the older Iron Hands e-book though, it is horrible.

The other Iron Hands book is that the Black Library one titled Iron Hands? I heard GW has been retconning a lot of the iron hands stuff. Kind of disappointing, but I will have to learn to deal with it. I pretend half the time I am running an army T-2 Judgment Day Awnnold Terminators (T-800) anyway. Might have to put greenstuff leathers and some cheap sunglasses (ZZ Top ) on my bikes. I have already figured out that Iron Hands are the Red headed stepchild of GW, but I will overcome. Kind of think GW is missing some great opportunities with the Iron Hands as far as development, promotion, and storyline goes. The more reading I do on the Iron Hands the more I realize they just don't fit with the standard marines. I think with proper attention the Iron hands could easily outstrip the Ultramarines in popularity. I will be picking up wrath of Iron. I think a friend has a copy of the heresy stuff. Reading Clan Raukaan now. Thank You everyone who is helping me find this stuff. There doesn't seem to be a lot on Iron Hands, and In my opinion they deserve there own independent codex. They are just too unique for standard marines imo.

I've read almost every HH novel to be released and I'll say that the two events most commonly mentioned are 1) The Dropsite Massacre and 2) the death of Ferrus Manus. Ferrus was one of the most unique primarchs and an overall badass, so I definitely applaud your choice of Legion. Definitely read Angel Exterminatus.
