Good news for you dudes: https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/ChampionshipStoreSeminar-May4-IronHands3ukjcef.jpg A named Iron Hands char!

The inherent problem with Feirros and the Leviathan is that they WILL become more expensive. Imagine both units get the Girlyman-/Castellan-Treatment with a 50pts or respectively 100pts increase with the Leviathan. The tournaments I attend wont allow Index Units, so no Techmarine on a bike for me. I thought long and hard about even a simple Techmarine for 45pts. It is hard to stay mobile with a 6" model and even worse with this NEW 5" Primaris Mustache-Abomination called Feirros. Imagine how much better Iron Hands hands will become if we, the Iron Tenth seek a strong midfield presence or even frontline assaults instead of "hurr-durr-we have are the new Girlyman-Castle and u cannot touch my triple executioners or my suddenly new favourite Leviathans". With leaving Feirros out of the game we can do so much hammer time. I often use a Master-Crafted Damage 4 hammer, Jump Pack Chapter Master 5 hits in and Jump out or glue him to another unit I dont want to shoot. I would strongly advise to make best use of "Student of History"-Trait without Feirros, stop this nonsense repeating same 3 lists over and over again. Use the advantage of Iron Hands without maximising on simple ideas. Dont let yourselft fooled you cannot be outplayed on objectives. Logic and cold fury is the creed of Iron Hands and not this whimpish Tau-Girlyman-Caste-up-behaviour. With Iron Hands you can be VERY creative. Make the Iron 10th proud and ignore the bandwagoners who "always loved, White Scars(7ed), Salamanders(early 8ed), Ultramarine fanbois (because Girlyman) and soon maybe the new Dorn boys with their supplement to come).

In preparation for the new model being released tomorrow I thought I'd make a thread where people who like the model, have some conversion ideas or tweaks they want to make to the model and for people to show off their version of him. Obviously there's a separate thread for his rules side and this is purely a modelling/painting appreciation thread. I really love this new model, honestly way better than I thought it would be. When we were shown previews way back, just the image of the model alone was enough to get me back into my space marine army. That said there's a couple of things I would like to change mainly: 1) that weird block thing near the bottom of the axe 2) the dangle claw 3) his face 1 and 2 are easy fixes for me. Just switching the dangle claw for something more fixed, maybe the claw from a rocket launcher backpack or the new havoc kit and cutting off that box on the axe. 3 is a bit more difficult because of the way I want to do it. I basically want to replace his face with a visor helmet from the inceptor kit. It may now be more of a pain because the gravis hood is further back. What are your thoughts on the model? Got any ideas for conversions? Post your versions for the Sons of Ferrus to appreciate
