DIY Iron Hands Successor

After 17 years away from 40k I'm back at collecting Space Marines again. This album will my slow progress as I piece together my oldest custom chapter that's been in the works since 4th edition.

An Imperial Fists Ultima Founding successor. Taught and mentored on the Indomitus Crusade by veterans of the Excoriators and the Black Templars. The Ironhearts combine the stoicism of their forebears with the martial fury of Dorn's templars.

Just as the Ordo Hereticus pay close attention to the Ecclesiarchy, the Ordo Machinum scrutinise the Adeptus Mechanicus. Specifically, they are concerned with the reintegration of recovered STC variants into the Imperium’s armies and the rare adoptions of alien technologies into established Mechanicum protocols. The purpose here is twofold. Firstly, the Ordo Machinum ensure that laxness on the part of the Omnissiah’s worshippers does not permit a flawed technology to enter the Emperor’s service. More importantly, the Ordo Machinum ensures that no Magos is tempted to withhold vital systems from other factions of the Adeptus Terra with a view to increasing the Adeptus Mechanicus’ power within the Imperium. Inquisitors of the Ordo Machinum often accompany Adeptus Mechanicus archaeological teams to distant worlds, the better to see for themselves exactly what has been recovered. They often work in concert with the Ordo Xenos – especially when the world in question has been under alien control or there is any suggestion of non-human origin for the technology the Adeptus Mechanicus seek to recover. --- quoted from the Codex: Inquisition (6e), pg. 18
