Clan Raukaan is the second supplement for Codex: Space Marines, following on from Sentinels of Terra last month. The main focus of the book is the 3rd Company of the Iron Hands, but this is also by far the most comprehensive look at the background of the whole Chapter we’ve made yet, covering their 10,000 year history of battle in the Emperor’s name.

The Iron Hands are famous for two things: their reliance on machines, and the fact their Primarch lost his head in the heat of battle (literally and figuratively).
The new rules in the supplement represent both, with alternate modes of army selection allowing you to call on the armored might of Clan Raukaan, and Warlord Traits that mean your commander either embraces his Primarch’s legacy of battle fury, or has learned from his mistakes, and approaches battle with a cold, murderous logic. There’s also an impressive new arsenal of relics, fit for the champions of Medusa.

One of our favorite parts of the book is the Echoes of War section. These missions allow you to recreate famous battles from Clan Raukaan’s history.
One in particular caught our eye - Ambush on Skarvus – where the Iron Hands take on their ancestral foes: the Emperor’s Children. What’s particularly cool about this mission is how the artwork and photography accompanying it really capture the bitter struggle between these hated foes.

You’ll be able to pre-order your copy of Clan Raukaan this Saturday, both as an interactive edition for Apple iBooks, and an eBook Edition for your phone, tablet, eReader and computer.

[Kaptain Badrukk]

Cool. Now GIVE THEM A FREAKIN' SPECIAL CHARACTER!!! They're so left out!
And given that farsight got 7 special characters I think it's fair.

[Ursa]

Agreed.

[Kaptain Badrukk]

I don't even collect them, and even I find it very annoying.

[Deadlift]

I couldn't agree with you more. ;)

[Tyrendian]

Aggreed - IH deserve their own special character. I'm not sure Clan Raukaan has the dudes for that though (at least according to Wrath of Iron)... Clan Commander Rauth is pretty much a generic Iron Hands veteran (=not much left of his humanity) that doesn't even have much in the way of special equipment... Iron Father Khaatir on the other hand I could see, with his pair o' claws and inbuilt flamers... problem is, he died on Shardenus... and beyond that there really isn't anyone special in the Clan...

[Mr Mystery]

No Primarch, no Special Characters.

I don't make the rules lads :p :p :p

(yes, I'm just being daft)

[energongoodie]

My signature is happening O_O

[Deadlift]

One thing to note, Space Marines are the 1st codex to get more than one supplement.

[Deadlift]

My signature is happening O_O

Did you ever think it would, I'm amazed myself. Happily so I admit.

[Tyrendian]

Did you ever think it would, I'm amazed myself. Happily so I admit.

well, eventually yes I guess... I just didn't think it would be so soon (if it acutally is...) with those rumors for White Scars getting the first supplement and the Sentinels of Terra actually being shown...

[Learn2Eel]

This is good stuff, I agree that there should be at least one or two special characters in the supplement. Given that the Imperial Fists one is confirmed to have one (Garadon), I think we can expect one for Iron Hands.
I know it won't be for a while, but personally I'm holding out for a Crimson Fists supplement :cool:
I'm more interested to see whether there is anything in the November White Dwarf aside from this and the second wave of Dark Elves, Naftka teased that he'll let us know later. I guess there probably won't be anything else, but I always have time for surprises!

[Shadow Queen]

I started Iron Hands and Sons of Medusa and only a FW Character but no mini Bout time GW

[Patrick Boyle]

I think it's interesting that both this supplement and the Adepta Sororitas codex are both said to have Apoc datasheets in them. Makes sense with Sisters, given they didn't have any formations in the Apoc rule book, but appearing in supplements is new. I guess supplement specific formations are going to be a thing going forward, does the preview material for Sentinels of Terra make mention of Apoc datasheets?

[Learn2Eel]

Yeah, well if the price for the supplements stays the same then adding in all this extra stuff is great, though I of course understand if the price goes up a bit.

[Kirsten]

between the Ferrus model, 40k chapter tactics, and now rumours of a supplement, Iron Hands are looking mighty tempting

The apoc datasheets are in the digital codex Space Marines too

[Lord-Boofhead]

Its interesting, looks like the Space Marine Supplements will be even more focused than we realised.

And on the Space Marines getting more than one Codex, I imagine that every Codex will get as many supplement as they feel inspired to do/can justify/can milk them for our precious dollars(or pounds)...

[energongoodie]

Did you ever think it would, I'm amazed myself. Happily so I admit.

Got to be honest.....nope, I never did.
I'll have to change my signature I've had since I joined BOLS!

[Jeremy Weaver]

I'm dong Sorrgol because the wrench in the cog is easier to paint than some of the other IH clans.

[Vangrail]

Can i use this if i play sons of medusa? Also can i still use vaylund cal with this?

[Steven Palmer]

Damn straight-Make rules for Kardan Stronos!!I really want to know why the Axe of Medusa is so good

[Corton]

TEN YEARS I have waited for something substantial to appear for the Iron Hands. Now I have something solid, and I am the cheese player. Glory to the Tenth!!

[blastboy113]

Does anyone know the possible schedule of GW releasing the supplements for the Space Marine first founding chapters?

[Vangrail]

Anyone? Lol

[Vangrail]

Id like to see bannus or another dread char

[energongoodie]

I bet a dread HQ is in.

[Bigred]

I'm thinking the Iron Hands are now replacing the Black Templars as the new "black army" for new players.

The Templars never deserved it and the Iron Hands players are having a long deserved renaissance of rules:

September: - Iron Hands rules in Codex Space Marines
October: - Iron Hands Legion rules in Horus Heresy Massacre
November: - Iron Hands supplemental codex

When it rains - it pours!

[Vangrail]

Its about time my bionics are finally represented. Does anyone know how successor chapters work with supplements?

[Cpt Codpiece]

Its about time my bionics are finally represented. Does anyone know how successor chapters work with supplements?

bionics used to have rules..... if i remember right limbs had extra attacks like power weapons and eyes were targeters im sure legs gave a M bonus too

[Dimitrios]

Now I know how the blood angel and Grey Knights players felt when everyone jumped on their band wagon... I've been a solid Iron Hands fanatic for many a year and now if I rear my ulgy Iron Head people will not know of my dedication...

Can people buy the new Iron Hands stuff... you know, to support it... but then never use them? I just want to be special again... I'm not sure I like being a member of a "fad"... :S

[Lord-Boofhead]

Does anyone know how successor chapters work with supplements?

We won't know until the First Marine Supplement comes out. BUT considering the are focusing on Clans/Companies/and the like for the 1st foundlings at least I doubt you'll be able to use the stuff.

But considering you have the coolest fluff of all the Hands Successors you'll probably get a book in good time.

Now what I want to know is when do I get My Relictors book....

[MisterCyto]

Now what I want to know is when do I get My Relictors book....

And I thought I was the only one hoping, :D

[Vangrail]

I hope u can play successors with it..... And hope i can use vaylund cal with it......

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

I hope u can play successors with it.....:? Why not? I mean, restricting it to models painted as one specific Iron Hands company would be pretty ridiculous.

[Vangrail]

Well you probably can play sussesors with it. Just hoping i can use the sons of medusa character with it. Also wonder what its actually adding in.. Any news on that?

[Deadlift]

Well you probably can play sussesors with it. Just hoping i can use the sons of medusa character with it. Also wonder what its actually adding in.. Any news on that?

I would just Allie in Val, after all I can't see why the supplement wouldn't allow you to do that.

[Vangrail]

Any news on what rules this brings?

Hard back only for me. I can't be doing with this new fangled digital wotsit.
I can't wait for it though :)

[Popsical]

Its also not too healthy to kick back in the bath and read your ibook, tablet, saucepan, cabbage or primrose!???!

[A.j. Heiskell]

Hard back only for me. I can't be doing with this new fangled digital wotsit.
I can't wait for it though :)

Normally I would sooooo agree with you. But they are easier than lugging around the rule books,5-10 issues of White Dwarf and 7 different codexs. Not to mention the cases and roller bags full of your own troops and vehicles. (With Armageddon, you need a sherpa to help with your gear).

[Deadlift]

Just given my mrs my Chrimbo list. Lots of FW Iron Hands stuff on it, this supplements excellent timing.

[energongoodie]

My list is also dominated by IH stuff :)

[Deadlift]

Yep, I've been as you know struggling with black. Cracked it. No airbrush. Back to basics and going for realism with weathering and chipping.

[Vangrail]

When is this coming out??? Bc i can use it and im happy! also any guessing on the rules it brings?

[MajorWesJanson]

I have a source that tells me that it will be out for sale/use on Nov 23rd. Not too much specific on the rules yet, but we can expect some buffs for Dreadnoughts, Techmarine conclaves, and a set of relics with one for a chaplain and one for a librarian. And that people are going to complain about the changes to the fluff. Seems pretty reliable ;)

[Vangrail]

Wonder what the dread buff will be. I use alot of them personally. It will not die helps alot. Inv would be nice lol

[Dimitrios]

I'm curious to see if this makes its way to us in Hardback. I truely hope so... I know the ebooks are more practical but I really like the feel of a new book in my mits...

Of course it will.

All the spin off ones will.

It's just Sisters and Inquisition nobody is quite sure about.

I will be buying digital on Saturday, but if they get round to releasing a ltd ed hardback, then I will be getting that too.

[Mr Mystery]

I need to start playing catch up on those.

Need to bag them from Farsight onwards.

[energongoodie]

This dude with a cybernetic arm and big axe, screaming at the enemy.....is exactly why I like the Iron Hands.

These are stop gap codexes, they will get hard copies when they get revisited and upgraded...
