depthcharge12 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 So as one who has never been a huge fan of the Iron Hands or their fluff (with the exception of some of the newer FW stuff), I've actually grown to like them via Autek Mor and his [future] Red Talons. First of all, the guy might not actually be an Iron Hand to begin with - possibly even a Thunder Warrior according to scuttlebutt. He's also a giant badarse if you've read his latest fluff: [spoilers ahead, you've been warned] 1.) He nukes a planet of loyalist leaning citizens after they kow tow to the traitors as they don't have the ability or will to fight back. Mor saves them, and then nukes them for not fighting hard enough. 2.) He tries to reach Isstvaan even with the massive fleet battle occurring. 3.) HE DROPS A FRAKKING PLANET INTO BODT!!!11! Who'd have the balls to first of all take on the World Eater staging grounds full of psychotic nut jobs, crash a moon into the planet, and go down onto the planet while said thing was happening to grab Emperor's equivalent of the mystery box? I mean Meduson is awesome for trying to take down Horus, but Autek Mor is just screwing with the primarch from the seventh circle of troll. I thought I'd just write my appreciation for what Alan Bligh has done for these legions and how he's changed my opinion on at least one of my least favorites.

Legionary Pallas Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 So Autek Mor is Chuck Norris? Or Bruce Lee? Maybe Goku? EDIT: Just thought of this after I posted. We should make a thread about which characters are awesome and why? You could make an argument for any character being awesome so long as you can back it up.

Skalpynock Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Other officers reached their ranks by skill at arms. Autek Mor did by murdering everyone in the Ra'Guln clan.

This^^ Autek Mor is that guy that comes in and smacks heads around to take care of business. He's kind of an Orky Iron Hand. He's got that grade A grimdark that means he's not afraid to throw the baby out with the bath water.

mactire Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I would say he's more likely to eat the baby and wash it down with some bathwater.

Fire Golem Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm completely in the same boat as you, I've never really been interested in the Iron Hands, but the snippets I've been seeing about Mor have very much piqued my interest. Can't wait to actually get Retribution and read it for myself.

rendingon1+ Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Also +1 Cool Point for not joining Meduson. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320273-appreciation-for-legions-once-not-liked/#findComment-4333925 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Also +1 Cool Point for not joining Meduson. Yeah I like Meduson, but Mor is like "Daddy never came to my bday..." Plus he's got a circuit tattoo. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320273-appreciation-for-legions-once-not-liked/#findComment-4333957 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 That's why I love Iron Hands. Both Meduson and Mor are equally great representations of the legion. They just take the logic to the extreme and own it. We got daddy issues, what's your excuse traitor?
