Jonathon’s winning Iron Hands list was led by a Lieutenant for re-rolls and a tech marine for repairs. Troops bring in a simple Infiltrator squad for some minor utility, while Elites go off with a bang thanks to two Dreads (supported by the tech marine) and a Jump Pack Veteran Squad for some serious melee threats.

Fast Attacks bring mobility with three Tornado Speeders to zoom around and pump out melta shots.

While Heavy Support goes all in on deadly ranged power with 25 Devastators and 3 Eliminators, making sure no significant threat stands a chance if they can be shot at.

Finally, there is a single Drop pod rounding out points and helping a single unit of bodies deploy to the front lines.
