Malkaan Feirros is going to be bringing the pain to the enemies of the Iron Hands. Check out his FULL Warhammer 40k rules from the codex supplement book.
Warhammer Community finally teased some of the rules on this mysterious machine master!
Malkaan Feirros: Iron Hands Full Rules REVEALED
Fierros is a beast. Coming in hot at a smooth 110 points, and has the Student of History Warlord Trait. He’s not that expensive so you can squeeze him into pretty much any Iron Hands list.
Looking at Feirros, he was a normal Space Marine for quite some time but was selected to cross 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.
On another hand, he can repair vehicles like any tech marine, but he automatically heals 3 instead of D3 which is a nice touch. This is in a combination of both his Blessing of the Omnissiah and Master of the forge abilities.
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.
