It's a good solid start with a SM army, but how does it say "I'm an Iron Hands army" any more than say, Dark Angels or White Scars?

When I make armies, I add units which are typical of the legion I want to portray - for IH, you might want to have a Terminator Assault squad with Thunderhammers, instead of regular Termies? Or have more heavy choices or interesting weapons?

It's all good though, it's a good basis for many different styles of play! :)

Thanks for the reply, Shroud! I see what you're saying. I'll probably add a Tech Marine and Master of Forge at some point. Probably I'll get a Tactical squad first.
