Modelling Clan Morragul of the Iron Hands

Hi all.

 

I've finally managed to get enough free time over the Christmas break to do something with BaC, and now my order of bitz has arrived I've set my mind on Iron Hands.

 

Clan Morragul has always interested me, as a 'dumping ground' for the most 'unstable' elements of the legion. Given that these are the guys whos primarch drowns dragons in lava with his bare hands, they sound sufficiently hardcore.

 

So, how would you guys go about modelling and converting them? How could you make them still look like Iron Hands, but with that Morragul twist?

 

One thing I noticed is that a Morragul legionary was shown in Book 4 wearing MK IV armour - different to the iconic MK III of the Hands. Whether or not this means Morragul had more MK IV than normal is up to the reader - of course, I've decided it could mean that. Given that they act like Flesh Tearers to an extent (looking at their successors the Red Talons) it would make sense for them to have faster armour.

IMO clan morragul are not really that different to standard iron hands except for the inclusion of red into their colour scheme and mor being a beast

I personally believe we shall be hearing from the Clan within 2016 due to the Loyalist collection book that will be coming out, judging by the artwork.

 

There is not much information on the scheme of their Armour, only one image reference to a Devastator in the Clan Honour Guard wearing the heraldry and the red shoulder. So its open really, unless they bring more out about it in the following months.

 

You could do it as seen above, to marking individuals out for the red. It is all up to you!
