Upon
more research on the Iron Hands
I have come to the realization that
the only place you can get the Iron
Hands boxes are via GWs mail order.
Hobbytown told me they aren't available
for order, Pegasus Hobbies said
the same thing ... I'm checking
with Neal and IF he has Iron Hands
Tac squads available ... I'm going
to still play them, OTHERWISE ...
Sorry R2 not trying to copy you,
I've actually wanted to play the
fists for quite some time, but always
get my attention drawn elsewhere
with bright shiny stuff ... anyway
I'll be playing Imperial Fists.
Why Imperial Fists you say ... well
I happen to have about 60 shoulder
pads, and detail bitz for them,
and like I said I've been thinking
about playing them for a long time.
Plus they'd make a sweet house/campaign
army due to their siegemaster fluff.
IF I end up playing
Imperial Fists here is what I'd
be leaning towards ... I flat out
know that I'd get dinked on comp
due to the three dev squads ...
but please note one squad has heavy
bolters only. Depending on the codex,
I might tweak two or three of the
tac squads to be more HTH oriented
for a counter charge (i.e., Bolt
Pistols, Close Combat weps and a
flamer and meltagun or something
like that).
Its 53% troop
36% heavy, but again ... its not
preds, defilers, basilisks, its
eight missle launcher dudes and
four heavy bolter dues in marine
squads.
6 % Elite
3 % HQ
No excuses, but I've
seen way worse (think Iron Warriors
with oblits, a basilisk, defiler
and a decked out pred or two). The
fluff of this would be that they
are the meat of a typical Imperial
Fist Company and for added points
and/or a second force org I'd probably
do more vehicles to go along with
them.
