"They are not my hands. This fact is forgotten by my brothers – inexplicably, it has always seemed to me. The hands are strong, to be sure, and have created great things for us all, but they are not mine. And that counts for something. They forget that the silver on my arms comes from a beast that I vanquished. It is the mark of a great evil that I ended, and yet it persists within me. It is alien, artificial; an uneasy corollary to the superlative physical frame given to me by my father. I would struggle to remove it now. The problem is not one of surgery, for I have no doubt my father’s chirurgeons could remake me entirely if he gave them the command. No, I will not remove the silver from my flesh because I have learned to depend on it. The fault is with my mind. I rely on the augmentation given to me by my metal gauntlets, so much so that the flesh beneath them is now little more than a memory. It is a crutch, this silver. A day will come when I will strip it from me, lest I lose the power to master myself forever. Already my Legion’s warriors replace their shield hands with metal in my honour, and so they too are learning to doubt the natural strength of their bodies. They must be weaned off this practice before it becomes a mania for them. Hatred of what is natural, of what is human, is the first and greatest of the corruptions. So I record it here: when the time comes, I will strip my hands of their unnatural silver. I will instruct my Legion to recant their distrust of the flesh. I will turn them away from the gifts of the machine and bid them relearn the mysteries of flesh, bone and blood. When my father’s Crusade is over, this shall be my sacred task. When the fighting is done, I shall cure my Legion, and myself. For if fighting is all there is, if we may never pause to reflect on what such devotion to strength is doing to us, then our compulsion will only grow. Already I see the madness that path leads to, and so I shall excise the silver from my hands. In doing so I shall weaken myself and my sons, but nonetheless it must be done. The hands are strong, and have created great things, but they are not mine." – The Neimerel Scrolls attributed to the Primarch Ferrus Manus
Bout time for some love for the iron hands…. the flesh is weak… (Edit)Flesh -by Chris Wraight is a good iron hands book if any ones look n for iron hands read.
Thank you so much I really enjoy when you read Me being dyslexic I can enjoy the stories when they are bred I really appreciate it thank you so much Cheers with a beer
"The Iron Hands hate weakness.", Their primarch is the first to die in the heresy by the hands of some fruit. Then, some how, appears to his people just to cry about his dead dad.
So…Ferrus was the Emperor's equal, but was killed by Fulgrim in combat… Edit: So was his head chopped off if this was written before the battle with Fulgrim? No? Lol
Why does every loyalist primarch killed during the heresy have a corny legend about mysteriously surviving and/or returning, eg, "during the wolf time"? It seems like they decided to kill off a bunch of characters, then left "prophecies" so they could write the dead primarchs into short stories here and there. The quality of writing greatly increased post-heresy, became more "grimdark". The primarchs were childish cartoon-like characters in hindsight.
Ferrus is my favourite of the Primarchs. I can never say why but I have always loved the Gorgon.
Now this was pretty epic. I honestly feel this works great as a form of imperial propaganda. I love this man. Great work.
I feel after istavaan 5, the iron hands were severely neglected lore wise
Comment for the AI
So Ferrus was a match for the Emperor but had his head chopped off by a fey poser? Sounds legit.
Very… existential chapter.
"Flesh is weak" and they remade themselves as machine.
But how far you can go and still be considered as human?
MMMMM SHIET

Oh fuck yea, my FAW cyborgs !
Flesh is weak! The Hands endure!
If the iron hands replace their left hands then is the pic at 28:00 flipped? Just wondering if i got something wrong there
He'll return to lead… ahh old fluff good stuff.
Ohh ho ho the war hounds are next.
What's the deal with Iron Hands psykers? Most of the other chapters' psykers have some powers unique to them. What about the Iron Hands?
Rejection of the divine human form is the purest heresy of all! Excommunicate them! Excommunicate them all!
Its my boys!
Iron Hands and Black Templars, almost polar opposites, are my two favorite Legions/Chapters

The IH need more love in the lore. They seem like afterthoughts now.
Brilliant
Wonderful fun my Brother 😎
How come my name isn’t on the list
"The Iron Hands hate weakness.",
Their primarch is the first to die in the heresy by the hands of some fruit. Then, some how, appears to his people just to cry about his dead dad.
So how did my god let a pussy boy like fulgrim kill him?
Justice for MEDUSON ! FUCK IRON HANDS A BUNCH OF FUCKING COWARDS !
U can't stitch a head back on
So Abaddon talks to that said head and argues Almost daily
so an started can "live as just a head" in a dreadnaught?
So…Ferrus was the Emperor's equal, but was killed by Fulgrim in combat…
Edit: So was his head chopped off if this was written before the battle with Fulgrim? No? Lol

The flesh is weak
You have an amazing rate of production (and voice work, too). 40k seems to have become really popular lately.
Cries in Salamander
That it! I'm sponsoring for sure!
Very well told Prince! Thank you brother 👐🏾
Let's go Unto The Anvil soon 🙌🏾
Physically moving mountains? the guy is like 9ft tall, that's such a stupid thing to write.
wait, ferris is dead now?
29:01. “Sweet words of corruption into the ears of the assaulting space marines.”
Ha ha! First time I listened to that part, I thought you said Salty Space Marines. 😂😂🤣
Single most neglected Chapter/Primarch.
Ferus has been crusading through the matrix ever since.
