Iron Hands - Specialist Ranks and Formations: Gorgon Terminator Squad - One of a number of Tactical Dreadnought Armour sub-classes found within the ranks of the Iron Hands Legion, Gorgon Pattern Terminator Armour was one of a number of ongoing attempts by Ferrus Manus and his cadre of Iron Fathers to refine and augment the various patterns of Terminator Armour employed by the Legiones Astartes forces. One of the most extreme technological examples of the Iron Hands' innovation to improve on the designs in this regard was the hazardous but powerful "Gorgon" prototype, a variant of Indomitus Pattern Terminator Armour which required bonding to its wearer, as well as extensive cybernetic replacement. However, volunteers for this painful modification were plentiful in the Legion's ranks, many deeming it an honour to serve as part of this great endeavour. These elite Veterans were then placed in special Gorgon Terminator Squads, made up of four Gorgon Terminators and led by one Gorgon Hammerbearer (Squad Leader). Ferrus Manus would not live long enough to refine the Gorgon Pattern to its full potential due to his untimely death at the hands of the treacherous Fulgrim during the Drop Site Massacre on Istvaan V.Morlocks - The Morlocks were the Veteran Space Marine Battle-Brothers of the Iron Hands Legion who served as Primarch Ferrus Manus' personal Honour Guard. These elite Veterans of the Iron Hands' 1st Company were so-named for the fearsome visage they presented, so like the vengeful predators of the same name that howled across the frozen tundras of their Legion homeworld of Medusa. The Morlocks were the deadliest and most experienced warriors of the Xth Legion, and whatever force was arrayed against these black-coloured Terminators could not hope to survive their wrath. The Morlocks were the bloody tip of the spear that drove hard into the vitals of the Xth Legion's foes. Many of the Morlocks were comprised of the 1st Order (Order Primii) of the Avernii Clan. Many of these warriors had been slain at the hand of the Primarch Fulgrim and his Phoenix Guard aboard Ferrus Manus' flagship before the full extent of Horus' rebellion had revealed itself. Many more fought in the Drop Site Masscre on Istvaan V at the side of Ferrus Manus, determined to avenge the deaths of their brothers. Their fate instead was to fall beside their master, loyal and resolute to the end. It is unknown whether the Morlocks were reconstituted by the Second Founding Iron Hands Chapter after the events of the Horus Heresy.Medusan Immortals Squad - Comprised of those Iron Hands Legionaries who had failed their father's rigid standards and bleak code in battle, whether tasting defeat by the fickle whims of fate or whether laid low by a wound too terrible to bear, the Medusan Immortals Squads were the forlorn hope, a final chance at glory and redemption where the battle was at its fiercest and the risk of survival, even for an Astartes, was at its dimmest. Armed and armoured principally as Legion Breacher assault units and featuring a high level of cybernetic rebuild among them, the Immortals bore no symbols of their Clan or Legion, save its numeration and the black-on-white death's head symbol which proclaimed their mortal intent.
