1k Iron Hands Successor List (First go at 9th)

[HawktheSlayer]

So I'm thinking of painting these guys up as the Executioners Chapter. Yes I know they are officially an Imperial Fist successor but I just love the Iron Hands strategems, traits and general vibe. I thought combining that with the more melee focussed Successor options would be kind of cool. 

I'm a sucker for small elite forces and Primaris models. I'm just wondering what everyone here thinks. Any advice welcome on wether it's remotely playable or feasible as a working list.

General Ideas -

Super rough and tough Chaplain to represent the amazing Thulsa Kane himself. Just drive around throwing hands and maybe buff the Bladeguard while driving by. 

Intercessors for objective holding and looking nice at the back.

Bladeguard in an Impulsor and Assault termies to hit stuff hard when they show up/get there. 

Eradicators for a little bit of anti-tank.

I'm glad you were going for an Executioners vibe because it certainly does not feel Iron Hands-y.  Will the Eradicators be held in Strategic Reserve?  Beause I feel like they'll get focused down pretty quickly.

Not something I thought about to be honest but very good point! So I'm going to say yes.
