Iron Hands Project - Captain

A simple conversion, taking my inspiration from some podcast or Independent Characters HPC post ... I honestly can't remember where.  But the simple addition of a Grey Knights sword - cut to make it a bit more like what I think the sword used by Bion Henricos in the Little Horus short story would be like.  If you've not read that particular piece, I highly recommend it... it's Abnett at his best.

Add to this some purchases of both 30K and 40K Iron Hands models and I find myself doing a lot of edge highlighting of black armor.

For the 30K folks, I'm thinking more and more about a force composed of Shattered Legionaries, with the odd member from either a mainstream force (e.g.: a small band of Space Wolves) or some of the nameless unmarked legionaries mentioned in Book IV -- those who cast off all their parent legion markings.

As for 40K, not sure... probably just enough to get a feel for painting that legion.  I'm an unapologetic junky for the 6th Legion, with a penchant for Ultramarines in my spare time.
