Looks like Iron Hands may just be on deck for their own Space Marine Codex, what appears to be upgrade bits were just spotted! Check this out.
Take a look at the latest on Iron Hands. They’ve just had their Chapter Tactics updated to be probably one of the strongest out there. Beyond that, there definitely seems to be more support coming for these guys in the future.
Chapter Tactic Previewed
If you missed our earlier post on all of the updated Chapter Tactics, here is the Iron Hands’. These guys essentially have three rules rolled into one and they’re all insanely useful for basically every phase of the game. They have a 6+++ FNP, Overwatch on a 5+, and count as having double the wounds on their damage table.
Remember Space Marines new Enhanced Chapter Tactics now apply to vehicles as well.
Leviathans, for example, just got A LOT more tanky for this army and will also be able to unleash some punishing storm cannon volleys in overwatch that’ll make enemies think twice about charging them.
We’re Still Waiting to See the Iron Father
The Iron Father was previewed a while ago as a new Primaris HQ option for the army. We haven’t seen anything on his rules but in light of all of the Codex Supplements mentioned, the Iron Hands are favored to be getting their own supplement book with goodies.
Iron Hands Upgrade Sprue Spotted?
Also spotted within the Chapter Tactics preview were some Iron Hands Aggressors. There’s something special about these guys. Their left shoulder plate all have clearly defined and raised edges of the Iron Hands Chapter insignia. Aggressor kits don’t currently come with any kind of textured insignia on their pauldrons so it might be safe to say that, like the White Scars, they’re also getting an Upgrade sprue in the future.
With all this covered, what do you think about the Iron Hands’ Chapter Tactics compared to the other Chapters? Will we start seeing Iron Hands Leviathan lists in the meta? What kind of rules would you like to see the Iron Father get?
