The Iron Hand chapter are often misunderstood and this is true to how they would be viewed in lore. They feel the crushing weight of duty like no other chapter can because they failed, they failed to do their duty, they have failed to do what it is their father wished for them and they have failed at being astartes.
This failure is compounded upon their genetic (yes genetic) depression and unrelenting rage bought upon by the death of their father, Ferrus Manus. This overwhelming force of emotion pushes them to human vice and almost heretical thinking. They cover their removal of the flesh and their human elements as a doctrine, a method to rid themselves of the weakness within them and yet...its not really for that.

It is a coping mechanism, a crude attempt to dull the pains of emotion, where other astartes struggle to understand humanity, the Iron Hands understand very well. So much. It scares them into removing it by force. For they are tools of war and not designed to act as such, the astartes, his angels. Yet they are as human as you or me.

These acts of self-mutilation are akin to self harm, an attempt to feel something behind the crushing weight of emotionless or to prevent themselves to feel anything under the pressure of too much emotion. These acts are also reflected within the very politics inside the chapter. We have members who follow one of two doctrines;

"The flesh is weak" - the first half of the Iron Hands motto which shows off their new doctrine. Its a statement of what they believe and nothing more. Flesh is weak so it should be removed and replaced with emotionless bionics.

"But deeds endure" - the often forgotten second half of the motto which presents the entire motto in a better light. Although your flesh may decay and begin to fail you, the deeds you achive during your short time matter far more than you ever did for when you are gone what do you leave behind but the memory of your actions.

These mottos are representative of the two doctrines believed by the Iron Hands and subject of plenty debate and struggle within the chapter and their leaders. These warriors are not just tools of war but men playing the part of the soldier, scared, lost and afraid they will once again fail to live up to their purpose. They shed their human selves to rise to the task but leave only shells of people behind, a grim shadow, no better than a servitor controlled by a magos.

This matter of human emotion can also be shown in the stages of grief;

-Denial – Ferrus Manus didn’t die. He couldn’t have.
-Anger – They still have a deep seeded hatred for the Salamanders and Raven Guard chosing a taget to blame other than themselves.
-Bargaining – There have been attempts to resurrect Ferrus, desperate to undo their past failings.
-Depression – The removal of human emotion, in an attempt to stop the pain of feeling too much or to feel something at all.
-Acceptance – The realization that the human mind is strong and should not be discarded and to stay true to Ferrus' words and teachings.

In current day the Iron Hands are torn between stage four and five. Some wish to move on and embrace the old teachings of their father, fully accepting their human emotion for that is as much as a tool as any weapon avalible to them. Yet many of them remain stuck to their new teachings, ripping anything human from their core.

In the name of his Lord Dorn.

Again. More. His longsword snapped. He drove the broken blade into a throat, to the hilt. He punched, empty-handed, breaking face bones. He killed a World Eater with his shredding shield, wrenching the purring chainaxe from the traitor’s hands, rotating it, making it his own. He swung. He struck. Thijs Reus knelt, headless. Diaz drove the squealing chainaxe through World Eaters plate. A fountain of gore. Thunder. Carnage. Time rushing, headlong.

In the name of his lord.

Blood flying. Bone snapping. Flesh tearing. Impacts. Collapses. Swinging. Striking. Pinned. The name of Dorn. Frenzy. Glory. Diaz. Smoke blind. Blood blind. Striking. Again. Camba Diaz. Thrusting. Cutting. Gutting. Striking. Slaying. In the name of his lord. Pinned. Unmoving. Unmovable.

Say it ain't so

remote wadi
#

I have trans in my family man

young pecan
#

Didn't think so anyway

remote wadi
#

But I acknowledge the lore of wh40k has reasoning for all space marines being man and stuff

#

Also trust me female space marines are mostly an issue cause of chaos

#

If slaneesh got male and female marines that would mean self reproduced emperors sons

#

And that would be an issue and a major lore change

The first line is kind of funny ironically

Astartes are legitimate mutants

In the most common version of the imperial cult what type of God is the emperor seen as? The creator of all things type of god or is he thought to be created himself and ascended to godhood?

Hmm ok

Even the xenos?

No

No lmao

Xenos are viewed like satan

In imperial cult lore- oh

Okay according to the Imperial cult. The emperor is the creator of all things. Is his invention of Xenos ever explained by them

Are they just a test lmfao

He invented xenos just to exterminate them

Maybe I misunderstood what you mean

storm jungle

Nowhere in the lore is it said he created xenos in religious text

#

the Cult just ignores it

vital ginkgo
#

Is it stated he didn't create them?

lament shoal
#

It isn't stated at all

valid needle
vital ginkgo
#

Then we can't say for sure that this part is hypocritical

#

I'm sure other parts are but not this

storm jungle
#

its hypocritical because they acknowledge that hes a creator deity but then just ignore all the other sentient races

#

thats the point of the imperial cult

daring creek
#

This is giving me religious debate ptsd

And on the fifth day, Big God E made servitors

It's up for guessing until it is confirmed one way or the other

this is how the lore works lol

if its not stated ever or argued against these topics just havent been covered at alll

Headcannoning that "it has to exist" doesnt really count as Official Lore™

Thank you for the answers either way

A guy in SM2 server once told me his head cannon on my main chapter (BT) was more important than my facts I provided sources for.

The issue is GW couldnt have exactly guessed how semi-dystopian 2025 was gonna be lol

40k lost literally all of it

valid needle
storm jungle
#

But basically yeah

#

the authors still SOMETIMES try to do that satirical stuff

#

but the poster-front of the setting never does

#

its why I love shit like Helldivers

#

theres ZERO attempt to make Super-Earth look good

arctic talon
#

There's still some satirical stuff in novels

storm jungle
arctic talon
#

codexes are mostly played as everyone is fucking awful

#

lol

storm jungle
#

the tone is still there

#

its just the poster-front of the IP doesnt try it in any way lol

arctic talon
#

Yeeeeeep

storm jungle
#

and the issue is thats where the mass fandom consume it

#

its why like

arctic talon
#

people are stupid

#

Core rulebook should be mandatory reading

ala that kid at the end of Nexus getting killed

people thinking episode 1 of the tithes was unrealistic

or the Ultramarine being a dick to Sakan

or Tithes' any episode

#

ala the cargo one

The cargo one is like

I suggest anyone to read Super Earth's wikipedia page

storm jungle
#

you also get mentally and genetically scanned to meet the quota and see if you harbor any genetic deviance or mental thoughts

its fucking depressingly dystopian

Also like

its called a freedom camp

I'll have you know

#

Dont forget uh

#

turning old people into sludge

#

"bio-repurposal tanks"

arctic talon
#

let the Automatons take POWs like the cyborgs did

#

lol

#

It'll be really fucking funny

storm jungle
#

god imagine like an objective where it asks you to eliminate corrupted super-earth citizens by automatons

#

and your objectiv eis blowing up containers that just play voicelines of like "PLEASE HELP US"

#

and the moment you do the container explodes into bloody chunks

Helldivers 2 has some dead cyborgs in it

#

Its a warlord from 1 lol

isnt that a hulk

redemptor looking ass

arctic talon

nah its a warlord

#

you can see due to how its "seperated"

storm jungle
arctic talon

hulks are more bulky

#

less segments more stumpy

oh man you reminded me

#

we also got some big lore drop with Vessel-00

arctic talon
#

What

storm jungle
#

Oh you dont know?

#

hold on

arctic talon
#

Like beyond the stuff in game?

storm jungle
#

from what i can tell its basically the cyborgs having sent a fabricator arkship of some kind before they were defeated in HD1 to build the automatons to one day liberate them by building up an invasion force from the other side of the galaxy? Which is where the first automaton forces were when the game launched.

#

its a very cool lore drop

automatons get like negative attention

Nah it absolutely is yeah

and only 40k

arctic talon

Nah

its not in a lot of them

Defo not only 40k

arctic talon

but it also is accepted in others

#

lol

storm jungle
#

40k has the biggest concentration

#

AOS and WHF rarely have nazis

#

because theres no nazi-adjacent faction ala imperium

hollow lantern

Nah I'm not saying every 40k group harbors nazis, but there are a weird amount of 40k spaces you "walk into" and there's a lot of real on the nose stuff being said

from my expierence

not facist ones lol
