Iron Hands Combat Squad

 I salute you, proud sons of Ferrus Manus!

Today it is my combat squad for the small Iron Hands Patrol I am building at the minute. I want to keep this force quite tight, small reckon squads of maximum 5 warriors. But I might expand this unit to make it a full tactical squad in the future.

I had a lot of fun playing with the MK6 armour, either turning it into other marks or using it as is on the Sergeant.

Two of the members gave me a bit more work than the others. The first one (below) is based on a Deathwatch Mk8 pair of legs, that I extended to match the proportions of the Mk6. There are some pre-painting pics if you scroll down:

For the second one I have altered the armour or chose bits from the Tactical Squad to represent a Mk5 armour. I like having a bit of variety in my squads :)

And here they are before painting:

For the other members, I apologize but the photos were taken in various lighting/conditions so they are not consistent. This one was the very first model of this whole project:

Then comes Flamer Dude:

And finally the Sergeant with his custom bionic leg!

I have now completed a Techmarine to lead this force, that I will archive here next time ;)

In the meantime, if you cannot wait he is already on our Instagram and Facebook.

Thanks for reading!

Iron Hands Terminators

Hi everyone!

Here is the start of a new "army" project. I put army in brackets since I don't know how far I will go, but it is definitely going to be a small force.

I have been into Iron Hands recently, and the new Terminators being so great I had to paint a squad, so here they are!

Let's have a look at every squad member now:

Brother Aarven, 4th squad of the 3rd company.
The 4th Terminator squad is part of an exploration mission in search for STC's and ancien technological artefacts.

Brother Gorloch, 4th squad of the 3rd company.
Gorloch is obsessed with the relics of the Chapter, deeply convinced that the ancient artefacts will bring them salvation.

Brother Shorrgol, 4th squad of the 3rd company.
He is the oldest member of the unit, a veteran fighter who lost his right arm long ago and had it replaced by fully integrated bionics.

UR-36 is not an official member of the 4th squad, but he replaced brother Arkaal when he fell under enemy fire.
Part of the mysterious Luna Cohort, UR-36 is one of the legendary Imperial Robots, supposedly gifted with intelligence.
The rest of the 4th squad revere this reliable warrior entirely made of metal.

Brother Sergeant Galorr, 4th squad, 3rd Company.
This proud sergeant leads the 4th squad in their search for ancient artefacts.

This squad Sergeant received a bionic leg, alongside a power axe that comes from the Devastator squad kit. I just cut out the squares in the blade.

And that's not all! I have a combat squad on the desk, another 2 members to go:

This next article will be the opportunity for me to detail the painting process. 

Stay tuned!
