The Flesh is Weak!

[Metic]

So I've been a little busy with a Clan Raukaan project, And thought I'd share the Start of my own Iron hands. After reading the Novel Wrath Of Iron I've felt extremly compelled to create a Clan Raukaan themed Army. I Love Terminators and the idea of the hq wearing terminator armour has always been appealing to me. So naturally Arven Rauth was my Favorite character in the story. Although I will be making My very own Telach and his Codicers as they were also a HUGE and awesome part of the story. Generally I don't take kindly to psykers coming from the Templar forums, but they were so freaking awesome I couldn't leave them out.

 

So before I post anything I want to thank the Iron hands forum in general for all the great an inspirational work that I've found here. I've been browsing lots of threads and forums for ideas and interesting conversions. One of which was the most helpful from Cortons ETL thread, he mentioned using watch parts so I picked some up from Ebay. So Here is what I've started so far, This will be used in an up and coming escalation league that me and my friends are playing, and I'm hoping it will be a change of pace from the Templar.

The man himself, Arven Rauth. While he doesn't have the storm bolter he does in the story I felt like betrayers Bane would be a cool way to step away from my standard th/ss loadout I always take. Now maybe the servo doesn't fit, but I thought it was too cool to leave off the model.

And finally Venerable Brother Khatir. I felt it Fitting for the Iron Father to be the First of Any Dreadnought I field.

It might be a while Before I get some paint on these Guys with being Locked in the Templar ETL it feels like I'm cheating on my other army just by building these guys. But I couldn't help myself. Either way I'll probably end up sneaking some iron hands into my painting projects inbetween the Templar. So I'll keep you guys updated!

 

More to come!

HeyHey!  Someone else was a fool like me too.  I am glad to see you liked the idea, and that they went over well for you.  I liked the way you used the bits on the sword, thats a nice bit for a pommel.  All in all a good start.

Beautiful start there mate can't wait to see more. I must say that a collection of watch bits is a must in my opinion for any IH , I've spent many a hour searching for just the right cog/gear . Don't look past the rods as a source of pistons and hydraulic gubbins or the little red crystals as a great source of lenses for optics. Half the appeal of IH is the opportunity to hack cut and kit bash you're boys in the other black. Must say you're a sucker for lore abused chapters. Will your Templar brothers not hunt you as a fallen now? Edited June 15, 2014 by jokaero weaponsmith

Most of my Brothers in Black I'm sure have secondary armies, some of them even heretics and xenos. As far as I'm concerned I still Stand in the light of the Emperor. And As old Templar Habbits are hard to break, I just noticed after finishing building the second Clave of my Iron hands, None of my Astartes are wearing an aquila All eagle heads have been covered with a Cog from the watch bits.....
