How this kit supports your army-building goals

With two transfer sheets and a mix of armour pieces, you can craft varied squads that still read as a cohesive Iron Hands force. The transfers offer chapter insignia, unit numbers, and campaign symbols that help tell a story on the tabletop, while the armour components provide armour‑grade detail that paints up well with metallic and weathered finishes. The set is designed to be versatile, allowing you to upgrade specific units or release a few standout characters with distinctive heads and arms for a personalised feel.

Tips for painting and assembly

Plan your colour scheme before applying transfers to ensure clean lines. Handle tiny parts with hobby tools to avoid excess stress on mould lines, and consider a gloss seal before transfers for best adhesion. After painting, use a matte or satin varnish to protect the details and decals while preserving the iron‑hands mood of the miniature.
