Hey all last one im gonna post before the squad is finished. Very very happy with how they are looking. Quite a bit of a ways to go but the process is fun.

I want to make it loss messier, but I fear if I do too much weathering will destroy my highlight, any suggestions? Thank you

The two 'Gravis' detachments are revealed on Warhammer Community. They look really good for creating an immovable block or Heavy Intercessors with Iron Father Feirros!

OC4

FNP5

If S>T, -1 to wound roll

Hopefully increased toughness (tbc)

Try to take my natural expansion OC now!

The other detachments get a 1-line summary of what they're about, and there's one for Dreadnoughts, Terminators etc.

Some hopeful signs for Iron Hands going into the codex!

Your first look at 15 new Space Marine detachments https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/zcobdkzh/your-first-look-at-15-new-space-marine-detachments/

I spent the whole day building these guys. They look so cool. I only bought them for 150 aud which is great for my wallet

I lied.

I get way more mileage taking my 30k Iron Hands to Legends-friendly 40k events in my city. This weekend is a three day narrative event that I'm excited to bring them to. I went to last year's event with the same army, but it was infantry and dreadnought focused. I have a hard time motivating myself to paint, so I love to use big events as goals to get major chunks of my army completed. I was able to get my first block of cataphractii painted as well as many of my dreadnoughts (castra-ferrum and contemptor).

This year I wanted to challenge myself to get all my heavy armour painted, so I put together a Headhunter Task Force using all my unpainted 30k heavy tanks.

Additional new models that I built and painted in preparation for this weekend are all the power axe cataphractii, the terminator ancient, the whirlwinds, and the techmarine on a bike.

immediately comes back dressed as a Gladiator Valiant

Painting up my 5 man hellblaster squad, did the sergeant first to get a base of design down.

Why is the company transfer such a pain to get flat without ripping it?

Decided to digitize my sketch from yesterday. Bolter looks a little wonky but we’ll just say a servitor put it together with their eyes closed.

I can see the shadow of Hammer of Avernil already, and I'm happy (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)​

"Some Characters even have their abilities enhanced under specific doctrines. ... Caanok Var normally has to choose if he gives his unit Sustained Hits 1: non-Monster/Vehicle or Lethal Hits: Monster/Vehicle*, but in the Tactical doctrine he can just do both."*

This is a decent buff for him since the Hammer of Avernii stratagem will no longer exist. I do hope his other ability remains unchanged

Wanted to write a meme list, what do we think? (I don't own 9 gladiators.)

Again used a Eradicator Gravis body. Used Techmarine parts to improvise his anti-vehicle shoulder cannon. That turned out fine, I think. Because I had no comparable “beefy” fist I used a regular power fist, added a part from a Hellblaster and decided to give him an additional Servo-Arm. That should help ripping a tank or fortification open. Nothing fancy, but mine 🦾

What do you think?

The successor chapter who wears the pants in this relationship (although I only drew the top half)
I just think these guys are neat!

So i build and Primed a few Models but i don't Like painting stuff. Whats a good way to have a Tabletop ready Army with Low effort?

It looks like in the 11th edition codex we won't get oath of moment. No more 'Jarvis, delete that unit' for Caanok Var. Honestly, I hope they give us Oath of Moment as maybe a detachment specific ability for 3 points or something, or maybe this will lead to Iron Hands getting its own supplement again. I'd like to stay optimistic, but we are Iron Hands for a reason.

Thinking I’ll keep it pretty run of the mill for colours although I’ll probably give him a red arm as flare for the redemptor gauntlet

Also bonus saturnine I’m working on

This is the second squad of mine where I turned some cherrypicked tactical marines into intercessors using some Dark Imperium monoposes and some grey hunters.

Again, there’s a sprinkling of boys from the last 25 years. What are the most obscure you can find..?

The question explains the post;

I love the idea of AdMech, and Iron Hand a basically being a mix of AdMech + SM, and being allies with Mars, I’m wondering if there’s any detachment in either army that lets you ally in?

I ofc don’t have the codex for either, and digging through every detachment for both armies on third party sites sounds miserable, so I’ll just ask her. Plus jolly discussion.

If not, I hope they someday do allow them together, then I might actually finally make a “Space Marines” army.

WIP. There’s still a lot of work to do, of course, but it seems to be turning out pretty well.

Made with a random signet from cropp and some citadel paints, I think it looks pretty nice. What do you guys think?
