Project Grailsword\Contqual Part 5

Sergeant Development

As per the fluff Iron Hands don't have their Terminator Veterans in squads, the veterans lead other squads to inspire their battle brothers.

Terminator Sergeant
0-3 Tactical, Sternguard or Vanguard squads may replace their Sergeant with a Terminator Sergeant.

Venerated Bannus development

This is the initial post for another of the HQ choices i am developing for this project. I chose Bannus as he is the most well known, and with the new Ironclad it is easier to legitamise the Chain Fist Bannus is portrayed with as per the Iron Hands novel.

Venerated Dreadnought Bannus 225pts

Iron Father Development

Here is the first idea for the Iron Father, i'm going for a blend of MotF and Chaplain, whilst still being a good support character.

Project Grailsword\Contqual Part 2

I have been mulling over some possible Iron Hands Chapter Tactics, i have thought about 2 possible tactics, one im thinking is for the Iron Father and the other for either the Clan Commander or a Venerated Dreadnought.

Tactic One
If you include (x) than all units in the Iron Hands army lose the Combat Tactics special rule. Instead, all HQ choices, Techmarines and Sergeants gain the Feel No Pain USR. If more than one character in your army has the Chapter Tactics special rule, you must choose which version will apply.

Tactic Two
If you include (x) than all units in the Iron Hands army exchange the Combat Tactics special rule for the Stubborn USR. If more than one character in your army has the Chapter Tactics specail rule, you must choose which version will apply.
