You know you're an Iron Hand when...

[Bjorn Firewalker]

Decided to resurrect this thread, and see if we can take it as far as the Black Templars and the Adepta Sororitas. Please don't copy lines from the "You know you're a son of Ferrus when..." thread.

 

You know you're an Iron Hand when Flash Gitz publicly acknowledge you have more dakka than they do.

[Saint_Michael]

You know you're an Iron Hand when you have more cyber than a necron.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

When the reason Necrons keep attacking your forces, is because your many augmetic organs confused them- the foul xenos think you're a C'tan shard, which they must contain.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

When you make a member of the Ork Kult of Speed say, "Da red wunz do not go fasta! Da wunz dat got da white hand do!" in the split-second before you crush the xeno's insult to the Omnissiah beneath your tank's mighty tracks.

 

Yes, you can even do that to the xeno's flyer.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

When your idea of a "Sternguard Veteran Squad" is seven Vindicator siege tanks, plus three Hunters and/or Stalkers to defend them from enemy flyers.

 

When your idea of a "Vanguard Veteran Squad" is seven Stormtalon gunships, plus three Stormhawk interceptors to dogfight enemy flyers.

 

Despite committing the sin of existing in Man's galaxy, you must admit the Ork concept of "more dakka" is valid.

[CyderPirate]

When you can't get through airport security without your augmetics setting off the alarm.

[Ordo Machinum]

... when you mutter "the flesh is weak" as you eat your breakfast cereal.

[Ordo Machinum]

... when you see Marvel's Iron Man and think, "what a gawdy poser."

 

... when you see Marvel's War Machine and think, "he's got potential."

[ChapterMasterYed]

You think a tactical squad is 10 Dreadnoughts

[Saint_Michael]

You think a tactical squad is 10 Dreadnoughts

When you think a tactical squad of 10 dreadnoughts is a good start...

[Iron Hands Fanatic]

When you refer to your allied Imperial Guard as 'target practice'

[Bjorn Firewalker]

When you cannot see the colors pink and purple, without flying into violent rage that someone would dare bear the colors of Ferrus Manus' murderer (Fulgrim).

[Saint_Michael]

When you get excited because your arm gets blown off, because you were just looking at new upgrades.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

When you ask a Techmarine to make a boltgun-flamer-chainfist combination weapon, so you can match a Traitor Marine shot-for-shot and blow-for-blow, the Techmarine says, "Great idea! Give me a couple hours to acquire and assemble the components!" instead of the "Are you out of your ing mind?!" one would receive from a lesser Chapter's Techmarines.

[Daimyo-Phaeron Lenoch]

You know you're an Iron Hand when you think that thirty Whirlwinds is barely enough for one devastator squad, and you need another two dozen to even approach acceptable levels of firepower.

[Ordo Machinum]

... when you tell your optometrist that you are ready for your "optical upgrade".

[Saint_Michael]

...When the destruction of an entire solar system is seen as a good start to ending the xenos threat.

[Skalpynock]

When you list "dreadnought internment" as part of the initiation rites.

[ChapterMasterYed]

Whenever you get an injury in real life, you roll a D6 to see if it hurts or not.

[ChapterMasterYed]

When you have been driving the same crappy car for 17 years because IT WILL NOT DIE

[Bjorn Firewalker]

When you have been driving the same crappy car for 17 years because IT WILL NOT DIE

When you chrome-plate the entire vehicle (minus the tires and/or treads) to honor its Machine Spirit.

 

When you view nickel and chrome as a precious metals for the number of arms, armor, and vehicles whose Machine Spirits must be honored.

[Freman Bloodglaive]

...if you've stopped pounding the table when frustrated, because you're running out of tables.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

...if you've stopped pounding the table when frustrated, because you're running out of tables.

If you make a table out of living metal salvaged from defeated Necrons, the xenos' heads- with expressions of terror frozen upon their otherwise blank faces, for you have forced the emotionless xenos to relearn how to feel fear- at the ends of the tablelegs.

 

Fear the wrath of iron- the anger a son of Ferrus Manus will bring upon all enemies of the Imperium!

[RandomMarine]

When you have 10 dreads,15 battle tanks,30 terminators but only 40 marines in power armour and no FA choices.

[Bjorn Firewalker]

When your Techmarine keeps shoehorning bigger, more powerful guns into your tanks, your walkers, your flyers- and he keeps SUCCEEDING.
