"Iron hands special character" my   It's a Primaris techmarine.  That's it, the Primarus range is complete.  Bye-bye "old marines".

[Captain Idaho]

Yeah the platform boots...

Seriously undermining an otherwise great model.

He must be a big David Bowie fan

Love it! Hoping for many more Chapter Primaris HQs.

Umm....

 

He's in GRAVIS ARMOUR guys.

 

In case people missed it, literally every single non-jump Gravis-armoured Primaris is wearing those boots. Seriously, compare him to everyone else here:

 

Are we nitpicking the boots just to nitpick or am I missing something?

 

In any case, I LOVE the new Iron Hands model. Please let him have a variant build for a Primaris Techmarine

It's not nit picking, it's a stance that highlights his footwear. It's a central part of the pose of the model. It screams "look at my new boots".

The gap in the boots should be pretty easy to fill in with some greenstuff if it's a big deal for people.

[Subtleknife]

It would be cool if they made him a bit like the greater demons. So you can build him one way for the named character or build him another way for a generic forgefather. Would be a great way for allowing a couple of different variations for a chapter that hasn't been given much from gw

I kind of get that, but Calgar is in nearly the same pose in regards to his legs. Actually, looking at the 360 of Calgar's model, the stance and showing-off of the boots is almost exactly the same.

 

So basically, GW did a GW thing and photographed the model at an angle that highlights a feature that people should already know about

Damn guys, finally IH get a character and the first comments are about shred him in order to do a primaris techmarine

 

Let them taste it for a while longer

[Fulkes]

Speakibg about the "platforms", I am pretty sure those are the boots from an Aggressor. Maybe they handle higher weight loads better?

[Jukkiz]

Might snippy snap that claw and just pluf it straight unto that arm so it looks more functional and not Clawgame claw.

Looking pretty neat, gotta see sprues first for more chopping ideas.

[Fulkes]

So, blind optimism here but I'm hoping this is a dual kit to make a generic Iron Father as well.

I'm hoping it has rules for a normal Techmarine

Nah. That'll be it's own kit assuming it comes out at the same time.

I mean he's straight up wearing gravis armour. The boots, the larger backpack, the larger almost terminator-esque shoulder pads, the style of ammo feed on the back. His hood is very toned down, reminscient of how Calgars was too.

[Fulkes]

I like the Gravis boots and the cog teeth they have fits Iron Hands well.

[DeadFingers]

Ooooh, Warpsmith conversion material. Delicious.

Have to agree and don't play Iron Hands. I'd like a different primaris techmarine so He rightfully stays unique. His shoulder pads looks raised so I'm assuming an Iron Hand updgrade sprue kit may also be coming soon.

At least no one said "Dark Mechanicus character, just add tentacles"?

[Captain Idaho]

With a big of Green stuff you can "fix" those boots I'm thinking (if you don't like them). Though it depends on the terrain part of the base and whether it's a one piece.

[Reinhard]

It's the lack of a regular Primaris techmarine that makes me want to convert him. What loss is to anyone what I do with my own models anyway? If anything it helps them because its an additional sale.

[Doghouse]

Well you never know we might get regular ones too if a new codex comes out.

[Captain Idaho]

Conversions based on existing models is a cornerstone of the hobby. We should applaud creativity and not claim ownership of a model to anyone else.
