My take on the Iron Xth : the Morragul

Hey. So here's this week's post, an introduction to my chosen Clan, the Clan Morragul Iron Hands.

So who are the Morragul I hear you say? Morragul are dark, a home for the most unstable elements of the Legion. They appeal because Morragul play right on the edge of what it means to be loyal. They are not nice guys, rather cold hearted,  straight forward murderers. When I finally get the army done I want a crew who win lose or draw, always take some names and kick some dicks in savage style. 

Here's the Morragul sigil. Its a claw/talon:


And they are led by Autek Mor, this dude


Here's what Lexicanium has to say about my main man. Autek Mor was an Iron Hands Iron Father and Lord of theMorragul Clan during the Horus Heresy. Mor had a sinister reputation within his own Legion, and dark rumours maintained that the origin of his gene-seed were not as they should be. A Terran by birth, he was a veteran of the Iron Hands first recruits before the rediscovery of Ferrus Manus and took part in the conquest of the Sol System. By the time of his Primarch's finding, he had already developed a reputation as both a weaponsmith and malevolent soul, already having killed several of his own legion in duels over slights to his honor and ruling his Clan Company with an iron fist.[1]
On Medusa he took over the outlaw Ra'Guln Clan's leviathan crawler in a bloody night of violence and made himself its lord, impritng on it his name and will. In the years to follow his Morragul Clan became a sink for the outcasts and most unstable elements of the Legion. Mor and Manus had no love for one another, but despite this, when his Grand Cruiser Red Talon arrived in the Isstvan V System he attacked fought valiantly on the side of the loyalists. His ship took heavy damage in a space engagement and he fled the system, dogged by Traitor pursuers.[1]
Mor remained an active resistance fighter for the loyalist cause, raising the World Eatersworld of Bodt in 008.M31.[2]
Soooooo, sinsister reputation, dark rumours, weaponsmith and malevolent soul who rules his clan company with an iron fist. Check check check check check.  What is not to like about this badass! And let's not go into when he dropped a moon on a planet because they pissed him off. SAVAGE.
Next time I will drop some WIPs of my army
Out.
