Aztec Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I'm planning on starting an Iron Hands force but wanted to know whether their shoulder trim is officially a metal colour or black. Little things like this bother me so I wanted to ask about it. GW seem inconsistent in their images of Iron Hands and I dont know if there is a reason for this.

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 It's silver. I think the inconsistency you saw was a very dark silver like this: Because I have never seen black IH shoulder trim before.

Shinespider Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 It's weird that you've never seen that, because the vast majority of GW depictions of IH have it. The black trim is the current norm.

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I mostly looked at FW's 30K artwork, FW's studio 30K miniatures, and 'Eavy Metal's studio 40K miniatures. They all have silver trim. A lot of artwork is also silver trim and some metallic black trim. I did find the black trim you guys are talking about though from the old 5th Edition and previous stuff. Raukaan also seems to be metallic black trim. I'll let the actual IH experts decide since I don't even study those guys much.

Shinespider Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I'm largely going off of Raukaan, since that's the largest and most recent concentration of IH miniatures. 30k was not mentioned in the question and I didn't consider it relevant. I don't see anything metallic about the Raukaan rims. They're just black.

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Look at the middle part of the bottom trim. I feel like you just want to argue with me for some reason despite the widespread existence of silver Iron Hands trim.

Reyner Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Silver looks best to me. I like the look of silver trim and white weapon cases for Iron Hands kinda like these but think their weapons aren't white: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Iron-Hands-Tactical-Squad-Upgrade-Pack Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/337584-iron-hands-shoulder-trim-colour/#findComment-4844247 Share on other sites More sharing options...
