Redwunzgofasta Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hi all, I'm starting an Iron Hands force for 30k and was wondering whether anyone would be good enough to give me a run down on the legion transfer sheet? I don't want to make any blunders! I'm starting with 2x tactical squads, probably 15 men in each, what would be the best way to use the transfers for those units? Thanks for any advice you can give!

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Iron Hands place the Legion symbol on the left shoulder, their Clan's symbol on the right shoulder, with their unit designation on the left shin and their order's numeration on the left knee (and sometimes the right side of the torso), as so: http://67.media.tumblr.com/09a343a4a205590ec07427240ccd66ee/tumblr_n6ikpmQz3d1tp1stlo5_400.png So this guy is from Clan Vurgaan, he's a tactical Legionary, serving in that Clan's 4th Order. The Iron Hands transfers don't include unit markings, but you might have some of those lying around as they're in most 40k space marine box sets? Lots of players don't bother with unit & Order markings, and there is plenty of leeway in terms of which units deviated from the iconography layout set out above, so as long as you have the Legion icon on the Left & the Clan symbol on the right, you can't go wrong Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327868-starting-iron-hands-confused-by-transfers/#findComment-4563077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomMarine Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 If you can get hold of the old IH sheet it got loads of clan symbols in varioud sizes and codex unit markings as well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327868-starting-iron-hands-confused-by-transfers/#findComment-4563083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwunzgofasta Posted November 15, 2016 Author Share Posted November 15, 2016 Thanks guys, that's massively cleared things up! Just one further question. I'm going to run autek morr and do a clan morragul theme. I've been doing some reading and it seems they paint some of their armour/equipment red, but I can't find anything defintitive on this. Does anyone have any advice on which bits of armour/equipment to paint red for clan morragul? Thanks again!

Reyner Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 There are a couple of examples of Clan Morragul marines in the books - one I remember is a Devastator and his clan company marking is in red or a red circle I think Aha found it! http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/a/a2/IH_Legion_Devastator.png/revision/latest?cb=20131105155901 epic stuff :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327868-starting-iron-hands-confused-by-transfers/#findComment-4563513 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Hands Fanatic Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Yeah it seems to vary for Morragul - some units have some red, others have none - I'd go for maybe some red on veteran / elite units & characters, but keeping it to a shoulder pad or knee pad, maybe some red decals. You don't need much red to make it pop as a spot colour.

Redwunzgofasta Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks again guys! You've really helped me get up and running with my hobby planning :) I've got one last question that is a bit out there... Does anyone know how forge world based their iron hands? I'm really bad with judging colour but I'd like to base my guys in a similar way. Many thanks for any tips!

Supe robot gangster #1 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks again guys! You've really helped me get up and running with my hobby planning :) I've got one last question that is a bit out there... Does anyone know how forge world based their iron hands? I'm really bad with judging colour but I'd like to base my guys in a similar way. Many thanks for any tips! Base as in base colour? Or the actual bases? There is a thread floating around somewhere with a link to how it's done if I recall correctly. Or you could PM slipstreams, if I recall correctly slipstreams had a pretty decent method of painting iron hands somewhat similar to FW using a series of washes!

RandomMarine Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I have a clan moragul army I use red on pads instead of white. With red panels of vehicles to break up the black. http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20161115_205537_zpsnfljg7v7.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_105555_zpsasybjyhm.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_105445_zpsr7nvwqgl.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_105429_zpsjmx5hpt8.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20161103_215630_zps8epvvwpw.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160522_090507_zpskhdyioid.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20161115_205411_zpsachqtdrq.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_104855_zpsetxkvssb.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_104811_zpsgmjo0oeq.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_105257_zps9ugi2kiw.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_104647_zpsdnqplaed.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_104313_zpsp9bnec2g.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_104011_zpsilfjkw9s.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_103852_zpsrmfrz1nx.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_103657_zpsosngigpc.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_104958_zpssvyuhv1d.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_103512_zpssztqxdna.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160110_102726_zpsipck8sc9.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160103_193432_zps9vaamthu.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20160103_193354_zps2ihfhfxg.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20151028_093856_1_zpsk4keerne.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20151028_093904_1_zpsmh755wzx.jpg http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah274/mortiscorax29/Ironhands%2030k/IMG_20151028_092914_1_zpsneohqgg5.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327868-starting-iron-hands-confused-by-transfers/#findComment-4564399 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vodunius Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 There are a couple of examples of Clan Morragul marines in the books - one I remember is a Devastator and his clan company marking is in red or a red circle I think Aha found it! http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/a/a2/IH_Legion_Devastator.png/revision/latest?cb=20131105155901 epic stuff The sidebar to that guy in Massacre (he's buried away in the Scenario's section on page 185 for some odd reason) is that he "bears the distinctive crimson livery of Autek-Mor's personal guard, the Blood-Wrought." so if I ever do some Morragul I plan on restricting the red pads to anyone who could/would be a Wolf Guard in a Space Wolf army. Addendum: Cadian transfer sheets are a good source of squad numbers - you can cut the three digit regimental numbers down to double or single digits.

RandomMarine Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Mine are a separate clan but I used the morgul colours as a base. Had been assigned to purge a hi tech xenos race I made up which turned into a protracted campaign that kept them occupied until after istavaan Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/327868-starting-iron-hands-confused-by-transfers/#findComment-4564817 Share on other sites More sharing options...
