Wow, these rule may have been worth the wait! Malkaan Feirros is going to be bringing the pain. Check out the new Iron Hands rules that were just revealed.
Warhammer Community finally revealed the rules on this mysterious machine master! Before we jump into the nitty-gritty, he’s a monster. But let’s take a closer look.
Iron Hands Get a New Chapter Master: Rules Revealed
Looking at Feirros, he was a normal Space Marine for quite some time but was selected to cros the Rubicon Primaris. After making the switch, his new suit of armor has two servo arms and a heavy bolter named Gorgon’s Wrath! But we can’t forget about his named axe harrowhand either.
Looking at his combat stats, he’s on the slower side but being T5 with 7 wounds and a 2+ save, he’ll be more than just a speed bump for the enemy. He’s also decked out with multi-damage wargear. Gorgron’s Wrath is his shoulder-mounted souped-up Heavy Bolter and he’ll also be able to get 6 attacks on the charge with a S7 axe. (Don’t forget about those other two servo arms we mentioned earlier either).
For his aura ability, he’ll be able to lend a 5++ invulnerable save to models within 6″ of the model. What’s even better, he’s also coming stock with a 5+++ FNP.
With his presence alone, Feirros will anchor any Iron Hands line – not only does he ignore wounds on a 5+ thanks to his Artificer Bionic ability, but he provides an invulnerable save to nearby units.
And for the last few cherries on top, Signum Array sets the friendly units’ ballistic skill to a 2+. Note that it’s not just +1 BS. And as for Master of the Forge, he can heal a flat 3 wounds back to a vehicle!. Again, speed might be his downfall, but if you buddy this guy with a few Redemptors or Hellblasters, you’ve suddenly got a durable, extra deadly unit you have to deal with.
