About this deal

War of Beasts — The Iron Hands are the first Space Marines to arrive on Vigilus, battling Genestealer Cults on the strategically vital world alongside the Brazen Claws. Eight Clan Companies under Kardan Stronos ultimately arrive. [29] Ferrus Manus, also known as "The Gorgon," was the primarch of the Iron Hands Space Marine Legion, a master smith known for creating weapons that were able to inspire awe in any who saw them, such as the sword he created for Fulgrim, primarch of the Emperor's Children Legion or the bolter he crafted for Vulkan, the primarch of the Salamanders Legion, said to have a barrel designed to look like the gaping mouth of a dragon.

The brotherhood shared by the Primarchs Fulgrim and Ferrus Manus, the Phoenician and the Gorgon, was well known in the Imperium at the time of the Great Crusade, as the two superhuman leaders formed an instant connection upon their first meeting. This initial encounter occurred on Terra, beneath Mount Narodnya, the greatest forge of the Urals, where Ferrus Manus was busy toiling with the forge-masters who had once served the Terrawatt Clan during the Unification Wars soon after his arrival from Medusa. The Primarch of the Iron Hands had been demonstrating his phenomenal skill and the miraculous powers of his liquid metal hands when Fulgrim, the Primarch of the III rd Legion, the Emperor's Children, and his elite Phoenix Guard, had descended upon the sprawling forge complex. Sam: “ Dorn is in a very stoic, ‘none shall pass’ pose, which conveys the idea of him being the last line of defence for Terra. He stands defiant against the enemies of the Imperium, with his hands on the pommel of his chainblade, Storm’s Teeth. The bulk of the design was taken from John Blanche and Neil Roberts’ artwork, and his Auric Armour is based on Mk IV plate adorned with Imperial eagles and Imperial Fists iconography.” Alpharius, Primarch of the Alpha Legion I The Solar War • II The Lost and the Damned • III The First Wall • Sons of the Selenar • IV Saturnine • Fury of Magnus • V Mortis • VI Warhawk • VII Echoes of Eternity • Garro: Knight of Grey • VIII The End and the Death ( Volume I • Volume II • Volume III) M41: Purging of Contqual — The Iron Hands eliminated Chaos forces from twelve planets in the Contqual subsector. [4] At the height of the battle Chief Librarian Telach sacrificed himself to stop Julius Kaesoron, former First Captain of the Emperor's Children, now a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh. [53g] But the C'tan Shard is not slain, but instead now free to act according to its own whims without having to obey its Necron masters. Most commonly its first act would be to take revenge on its previous captors.Forgebreaker began as a project by Fulgrim to build the perfect weapon for his brother while the Gorgon did the same. In the end, when Fulgrim and Manus had finished their respective weapons, neither could agree on which was the best with the Phoenix claiming that Ferrus' Fireblade was the best and the Gorgon claiming that Fulgrim's Forgebreaker was, in fact, the greatest. In the end, they each gifted their weapon to each other, with Fulgrim receiving Fireblade and Ferrus receiving Forgebreaker, the start of a bond of brotherhood closer than any other two primarchs that lasted until the outbreak of the Horus Heresy.

Ferrus Manus, Primarch of the Iron Hands Legion | Forge World

The battlefield of Isstvan V was a slaughterhouse of epic proportions. Treacherous warriors twisted by hatred fought their former brothers-in-arms in a conflict unparalleled in its bitterness. The mighty Titan war engines of the Machine God walked the planet’s surface, and death followed in their wake. The blood of heroes and traitors flowed in rivers, and the hooded Adepts of the Dark Mechanicum unleashed perversions of ancient technology stolen from the Auretian Technocracy to wreak bloody havoc amongst the Loyalists. All across the Urgall Depression, hundreds died with every passing second, the promise of inevitable death a pall of darkness that hung over every warrior. The Traitor forces held, but their line was bending beneath the fury of the first Loyalist assault. It would take only the smallest twists of fate for it to break. Autek Mor - Iron Father and Lord of the Morragul Clan during the Horus Heresy, later became the first Chapter Master of the Red Talons.

Since the Horus Heresy, Clan Kaargul maintains that Ferrus Manus will return one day when the Imperium needs him once more. To this end they maintain an eternal vigil over the Karaashi Heights of Medusa, awaiting his return. The other Clans do not have the heart to impede the Kaargul in this, for as long as they maintain their vigil hope remains. [16] The Necron Star Gods, the C'tan, are entities of pure energy that can only interact with the physical universe through the possession of robotic bodies crafted for them by the ancient Necrontyr from necrodermis. The shape of their necrodermis body can be modified at will by its possessing C'tan, or C'tan Shard as they currently exist, and so each Star God looks very different from its fellows.

As the Kristosian Conclave reached its zenith in 460.M41, the Sapphire King judged the Iron Hands ripe to fall and set its trap in motion. Each Iron Hand carried within his heart a rancid seed, a bomb of repressed passions that could erupt to destroy him at any moment. The Daemon would simply provide the spark to light the flame and watch the Chapter burn upon a pyre of their own emotions. In that same year, a vast host of Iron Hands descended upon the Gaudinia System. Iron Father Kristos had assumed the mantle of war leader and had assembled more than eight hundred Iron Hands under his control. This was the greatest deployment of the Chapter for centuries, and was accompanied by the majority of the Iron Council. Clan Company Raukaan once again took the lead in a massive planetary assault upon Gaudania Prime and so was at the heart of the abominable trap that was there unleashed. Still here? You’ve got a good head on your shoulders, and it’s earned you a rare privilege – getting cosy with the galaxy’s most indomitable warriors in the latest entry of our neutral and even-handed coverage of the Legiones Astartes. Let’s hope you can keep up – there are no medals for second place.* Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children Space Marine Legion, was one of the first of his kind to fall from the Emperor's grace on the Xenos World named Laeran, officially designated as Twenty-Eight-Three, being the third world the 28 th Expeditionary Fleet had brought into Imperial Compliance. Unbeknownst to the III rd Legion, the serpentine Laer species were corrupted xenos worshippers of the Chaos God of Pleasure, Slaanesh. Though the resource-rich Ocean World of Laeran would be of immeasurable value to the Great Crusade of the Emperor, its alien inhabitants did not wish to share what blind fortune had blessed them with. They had refused to see the manifest destiny that guided Mankind through the stars and had made it abundantly clear that they held the Imperium in nothing but contempt. The III Legion's advance had been rebuffed with violence, and honour demanded that they answer in kind.

c. M41: The False Saint] — Elements of the Third Company lead the assault on the stronghold of the False Saint, the daemon-possessed body of Saint Drusus, on the storm-riddled dead world of Grangold in the Calixis Sector. Though wiped out in battle with the daemonic forces of Tzeentch, their actions allows elements of the Imperial Guard, led by agents of the Inquisition, to banish the False Saint and close the Warp portal the daemon was opening. [16] Forgebreaker was a legendary hammer forged by Fulgrim, Primarch of the Emperor's Children in a contest of smithing skill with his brother, Ferrus Manus of the Iron Hands. [4]One of the most physically powerful of the Primarchs, whose skills as an artificer of arms and armour were every bit as potent as his martial prowess, Ferrus Manus despised weakness. By his presence on the battlefield, the Primarch drove his men to acts of superhuman endurance and remorseless fervour. The Iron Hands rarely commit to a campaign unless overwhelming victory is all but guaranteed. To that end, they employ Adeptus Mechanicus Tech-Priests known as the Magi Calculi whose job it is to analyze data and ascribe to it strategic worth and likelihood of victory. However the Iron Council can overrule the decisions of the Magi Calculi, as seen when Kardan Stronos disregarded their conclusions and joined Roboute Guilliman's Indomitus Crusade anyway.
