About this deal

I want to know about Manus, reading the wiki's I feel don't highlight his personality. But I guess there is not much about him? Considering what happens to him early on.

Asirnoth - Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum

Sam: “As the most iconic figure of the Horus Heresy, Horus needed to have a really strong pose – one that would show the majesty of the Warmaster. He is stood upon the head of an Imperial Eagle with his mace Worldbreaker, guiding the Imperium forward. Based on both John Blanche and Neil Roberts artwork, his armour – the Serpent’s Scales – is adorned with Luna Wolves and Sons of Horus iconography, and can be painted in the colours of either legion.” Mortarion, Primarch of the Death Guard Sam: “ Sanguinius is the Primarch that’s most similar to the original John Blanche design. We wanted a strong flying pose so we could make the most of his angelic wings, while adding to the dynamism of the figure. He needed to have interchangeable weapons that worked with the pose, and all the elements had to flow together to emphasise the movement and power of the model. The inspiration for the pose came from classical depictions of the archangel Michael fighting the Devil.” Lion El’Jonson

Like the other Loyalist Astartes Legions, the Iron Hands would later be divided up after the Horus Heresy into multiple different Chapters, as required by the Codex Astartes, although one Chapter of the original Legion remained known as the Iron Hands and is described below. One-Five-Four Four - an Eldar-controlled world, the Iron Hands fight to pacify the desert regions. The story takes place after the Emperor's quitting of the Great Crusade.

Iron Hands Chapter Colour Scheme as displayed by Primaris Marine Skorrlok, a Hellblaster belonging to the 9th Squad of Clan Company Raukaan. His tactical role is fire support, as displayed by the chevron on his left knee plate.When the Gorgon, as he had become known, strode forth from the forbidden realms of sundered Medusa to batter the disparate clans of his world into submission to his overlordship, he was already thought of as a living god by its natives. But while he did not require of the Medusans worship and did nothing to encourage it, he demanded obedience to his will, and bloodily broke any who would contest his word. Nor did he quell conflict or bring peace upon the planet, but instead he gave the Iron Fathers -- the half Tech-priests, half-shamans who ministered to the clans' spiritual and technological needs -- the fruits of his own intervention in exchange for the technological secrets they had kept down the generations. Through the Gorgon's teachings the Medusan clans then forged better weapons and stronger machines with which to fight to prove their worth to survive.

Because of this compulsive drive, many of the Chapter's leaders are entombed within the form of a Dreadnought. These form the Chapter council, the so-called " Iron Council," for the Iron Hands have no individual Chapter Master. Each company is an all-but independent body called a "clan company," which maintains its own mobile fortress-monastery that trawls the endless wastes of Medusa guarding against weakness in the people and recruiting the strongest encountered into its ranks. Sam has described the Jaghatai Khan miniature as “grounded and confident” – a perfect mix of aggression and restraint – as well as providing loads more info on how this staggering miniature was designed. So much indeed, that we gave the Khan his own article – a must-read for fans of the White Scars and miniature design.At the height of the Great Crusade, Ferrus Manus leads his Iron Hands in battle alongside the Salamanders and Death Guard on an alien-held world. But when he is cut off from his brothers and sons and lost in the darkness, can Ferrus Manus reign in his aggression long enough to heed a warning that could change his dark destiny? Each Clan Company chooses a member to serve in the ruling body of the Chapter, the Great Clan Council (also called the Iron Council. [19a]) The organizational structure of the Iron Hands changed after the Horus Heresy and the death of Ferrus Manus; it was decided that no single warrior should be the leader of the Iron Hands. Instead, the Clan Captains and most revered warriors of the Legion formed the Iron Council. Those who sit on the Council are known as Iron Fathers, and the body has guided the Iron Hands ever since. [19a] Due to the reverence for the mechanical amongst Iron Hands, the council members are often Venerable Dreadnoughts. [10] Precisely forty-one Iron Fathers sit on the Iron Council. [22a]

Fulgrim accepted the challenge with regal grace, and both primarchs had stripped to the waist, working without pause for solar weeks on end, the forge ringing with the deafening pounding of hammers, the hiss of cooling metal, and the good-natured insults of the two demigods as they sought to outdo one another. Fulgrim had sent the bulk of his III rd Legion and the 28th Expeditionary Fleet on to meet Horus and the 63rd Expeditionary Fleet in the Isstvan System while he and a small force aided the Iron Hands' 52nd Expeditionary Fleet in retaking the world of Callinedes IV from Orks.

Who is Ferrus Manus?

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] Invasion of the Stygius Sector — In what becomes known as the Iron Crusade, the Iron Hands are joined by many successor chapters such as the Sons of Medusa, Fire Lords, Silver Skulls, Brazen Claws, and Iron Lords. They manage to hold Mordian from Chaos assault and are continuing to battle traitors throughout the Sector. [53h] Ancient Remembrancer sketch of Ferrus Manus, Primarch of the Iron Hands Legion; illustration taken from Carpinus' Speculum Historiale. Ferrus Manus also led the bravest warriors of the clans to delve into the frozen realms below, breaking open long-sealed vaults and intruding into ice-buried fragments of the great machine-works that had plunged from the skies in ancient days in search of salvage and strong metal. In the depths, the warrior-bands and the silver-eyed giant who led them fought degenerate mutants, living-dead cyborgs whose decayed flesh hung in tatters from corroded metal bodies, and subdued the dark-engines of the nightmare ages that had gone before to take their plunder. By the time the Emperor had come to claim him for the Great Crusade, Ferrus Manus was warlord, demi-god and sage to the people of Medusa, and it is said that he was waiting, and that he more than half-suspected the true purpose of his creation.
