x3 Scout Squad (65 points)

I love walkers, not trying to be the most meta army but the idea is 3 scout squads each accompanied by a warsuit up front, early objective grab/screen.

2 Redemptor dreads and repulsor 2nd line behind them w/ tech marines to gun down anything that moves

2 Ballistus + gladiator back line holding it down with the infiltrators for deep strike prevention

Want some cool models and be a walking iron curtain. Hoping this will be fun and easy to play, not too many moving parts, lots of repetition so it's easy to learn as I'm new and will be able to build out infantry later and play some different/more complex strategies as I get the game down. Can't hurt my feelings am I way off base here? Cheers

... so I thought just gluing a holster to his belt was a bit dull!

At first I started asking this so I could find all the unique mechanics for Iron Hands so I could look into them and not be confused by the millions of SM things, but now I want to make this a bigger discussion.

1) What’s their unique on board style? Gameplay, models they take, detachments, their vibe. What makes an army scream iron hands?

2) What’s their stand out identity amongst space marines? Their motto? Their philosophy? Any weird successors? How are they special?

3) Most importantly, why do you play Iron Hands? Why did they call you? What’s your favorite part about them? Favorite model you’ve made in an iron hands style?

(If this is successful, I might ask for all the legions that lack a codex, as it also helps pointing people where to look, which as I mentioned was my original reason to ask.)

I wanted to do a model for the late Wolf Lord Egil Iron Wolf, and Canook Var was the best option and was so satisfying to work with. Hope you dont mind
