[Captain Antargo]

A new Iron Hands upgrade pack is believed to be in progress, sounds cool and can't wait!

Since we saw the White Scars pack, I figured this was a given. I don't play Primaris so it does me no good but for everyone else's sake, I hope it has a couple of good bionic bits.

The Intercessor behind the Aggressors also have the shoulder pads, and the sergeant has a pointing bionic arm.

If you go & check out there troops. There icon on the belts that look like the Mechanicus cog icon. The second marine to the right of the five man squad just in front of the tank, there seem to have a sort of Bionic helmet which we saw with the metal - then finecast upgrade kit, but of course with the Primaris helmet now. Then as said there seem to be a point Bionic arm on the Sargent

Also near the tank to the top right of the image, there seem to be a bare head with bionic on the right side of his face

Plus, I'm just gonna go out on a limb, and say those clan symbols are from a new transfer sheet as well.

Needs more servo-arms- a LOT more. An Iron Hands army demands a LOT of technical assistance in keeping its many, MANY tanks, skimmers, flyers, and other vehicles- including AT LEAST one Dreadnought for every 20 Marines- in working condition.

I wonder if this is the one that comes with the Thunder Hammer?

[Spinsanity]

I would have expected the IH one would come with the admech/techmarine Power Axe and the Saly sprie would be the one with the Hammer...

 

+Edit: but then the axe is not on the list of Sergeant weapons, right?

In that picture, the sergeant definitely has a pointing bionic arm. My hope is a power axe but I doubt it happen.

Exactly - there is no axe on the weapons list. The new (and so far unreleased) options only include Thunder Hammer and hand flamer. Since I can't envision IH running around with a flimsy chainsword, hammer it is.

 

Sallies might still have a hammer, it's neither mutually exclusive nor a competition for the most hammer-iest chapter (like in the other thread). Though Sallies might bring the missing hand flamer too, flames are kinda their thing.

I would love a Broadsword on your guys upgrade pack, Heresy style.

On the Grey Talon book Bio Henrico uses one.

It will be good to see the Iron Hands bear appropriately adorned swords- maybe katana (Japanese long swords) with gear-shaped tsuba (hand guards)- instead of YET ANOTHER Ultramarines-inspired sword with an Aquila-shaped guard.

 

For the Emperor's sake, we're sons of Manus- NOT sons of the lazy bum who took a 10,000-year-long nap, while his father's realm burned all around him! At least OUR Primarch had "I am dead," as an explanation- and even THAT didn't stop him from doing all he could (see the Emperor summoning Manus' spirit to aid Him, in the War Within the Webway)! Let us have something to distinguish ourselves from THEM!

In the Horus Heresy Iron Hands are described as using "augmented function Medusan zweihanders", complete with inlaid circuitry.

Would love to see that.
