Ferrus Mannus Ironhands did you know?

80 Upvotes

On this sub you can select "user flair" that will display your Iron Hands Clan afilation (both pre and post Heresy) OR even your Succesor Chapter (If you swing that way, just scroll down to the bottom, they are there!).

I'm seeing a lot of posts from people who may not be aware of this (fun) feature of our sub.

The great clans of Medusa predate even the arrival of our Primark Ferrus Manus. And despite the ultimate and tragic weakness of his flesh, we was wise enough to incorporate that clan structure into his legion.

So let us honour our homeworld by displaying our Clan markings ... as user flair.

I think I'm going to pin this post for a little while to spread the word.

40K List Discussion 2000 HoA list after balance, need advise

Thumbnail
gallery
13 Upvotes

Hello brothers. I’ve been playing HoA for 5/6 games now and really having a good time. So with the disposition change I swapped out a few units in the previous priority list to focus more on the damage. Right now I’m a little doubtful with the Redemptor and wonder if I should switch to Iron father + heavy intercessors instead. Both seem durable enough while the Redemptor comes with 3 damage shooting plus oath and can be a bait to lure out my opponent’s anti-tank, the iron father squad offers a lot of OC or can tank some small damage.

Here’s my list, any suggestions are welcome.

40K Rules Discussion Tips for take & hold Ironstorm Spearhead?

11 Upvotes

Veteran player here, with the recent changes for Ironstorm going from "Purge the Foe" to "Take & Hold". Just wanna see how others tend to score take & hold running Ironstorm. Any units you guys prioritize? And if running different dreadnought bodies, how do you tend to play them?

40K List Discussion Does anyone else try to max out terminators?

Post image
16 Upvotes

I could use some tips on how to maximize usage of my terminators.

I run this on hammer of avernii + librarius conclave.

My first brick I’d have a captain (medusan roar if im feeling adventurous) and ancient (steel font) with a 10 man assault termie squad to hold the middle

2 5 man assaults attached to librarians

And caanok with a 10 man ranged brick.

No vehicles everything else I got on this list is a callidus, 2x eliminators, gravis with heavy boltere and infiltrators

I play really casually and run this list for fun and am happy to be a dps check and run my favorite models. Happier if i get wins but it’s also nice to see beginners get to maximize their damage and use everything they got.

Just started out finally after putting the starting sets aside

I think they’re table ready have a few things to tidy up on the infantry and then ill start with the iron halo box set eventually to make it more thematic.

For the land speeder i used sprues and a acrylic rod for the structure of the clay to similate a tokyo drift and one more rod to suspend it and gave it two additional points of contact on the surfaces

How’d I do gang?
