This sounds new to me... where you got this fluff?

> Due to this reputation, and the fact that Iron Hands regard even
other marine chapters as "weak" and shun nearly all outside contact,
the benefits of Iron Hands special units apply only to Iron Hands
units. Other Imperial troops tend to keep their distance when
fighting alongside Iron Hands. Conversely, Iron Hands are not
impressed at all by the weak outsiders and only gain benefits of
their own special units.

Sounds good... I'll come back later with some other units... :P

Don't you think IH chars (like the Iron Father) should have a 6+
regeneration save due to their bionics? And the possibility for the
chapter to field at least Basilisks?
