Horus Heresy 2e Review: Iron Hands Armoury

Iron Hands Armoury.

Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
3/5 stars. (The rules are average). 

The Iron-Father.
For a modest points cost a praetor can be upgraded to an Iron Father. This gives battlesmith and feel no pain along with a machinator array and cyber familiar. This is a nice upgrade and one that I might review distinctly as a unit entry.

Blessed Auto-Simulacra.
Vehicles can gain a notch of It Will Not Die for a small points cost. Very much recommended if you have spare points after building an army.

Cyber-Familiar.
An increase in invulnerable save is a good thing and worth the points investment, although the re-rolling of none leadership tests is a mixed bag. Almost worth the points, but best spent on a HQ choice. 

Gorgon Terminator Armour.
It is now the case that this mark of terminator armour can be given to any praetor or centurion. For free if they are already in terminator armour. Take it if you have a retinue of the same.

Graviton Shredders.
In brief: very good. The main difference is Assault 2 instead of pistol. 

Armatus Necrotechnika.
An auto-repair system for a vehicle for when units die nearby. Almost dark eldar in some ways! Its nice, but situational, and potentially a really pain (pun not intended) due to its cost and drawback (Ld implications). I suspect people are not going to select this outside of fluffy armies.


Difference to First Edition.
Neutral. (The rules are comparable).
