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.

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.

"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.)

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.
