WD262, with a little of my own moulding. They don't get this benefit in 40k, but with fluff descriptions of "entire populations of rebel planets" rising against the corrupt officials when they heard of the coming of Iron Hands and Iron Hands summarily executing one in three citizens in terrible mass-cleansing campaigns it really seemed appropriate.

This could be an option. At least veterans and terminators should be considered, since the mechanization of Iron Hands increases with age.
