===Equipment=== *'''Bronzeborn Equipment:''' Not a match for a standard Astartes, but far superior to most human combatants, the Bronzeborn often see supportive combat duty, operating heavy weapons emplacements and select vehicles. When deployed on the front lines, they are generally equipped in a manner similar to a Space Marine Scout, utilizing light armour and mass-produced Bolters as their primary arms. In engagements with Astartes, the Bronzeborn typically have a long-range role, and very often make wide usage of Atrox Pattern boltrifles, supporting their Ironborn brothers from afar. *'''Volkite Weaponry:''' Volkite arms were, during the earliest days of the Great Crusade, the standard weapon of the Space Marine Legionnaire, though the logistical problems of equipping a galaxy-spanning army eventually leading to the switch to more easily-produced bolter firearms. The Iron Hearts do not have these logistical problems, and as such the Volkite Charger remains the standard issue firearm for Ironborn Marines of the Legion. Over the years, the Iron Hearts have refined and improved these designs, boasting several unique designations of Volkite weaponry. The extreme load-bearing capacity of the Iron Hearts makes them capable of advancing swiftly while firing even the heaviest of Volkite arms, and many foes have been brought low by a steadily-advancing wall of Ironborn equipped with Volkite Calivers and Culverins. *'''Magnetic Armaments:''' The Iron Hearts' affinity for working with metal extends to their battlefield doctrine, and they employ a large number of unique weapons derived from archeotech designs that make use of electromagnetic field manipulation. Haywire weaponry is commonplace, as is Magnetic Impulsion tech - a series of weapons of brutal effectiveness against war machines of nearly any size, projecting a wave of electromagnetic forces that accelerate the target away from the weapon at devastating speed. *'''Terminator and Artificer Armour:''' Considering the low number of Marines in service to the Legion at once and the startling productivity of the Fortress Worlds, it should come as no surprise that the Iron Hearts outfit a relatively large proportion of their forces in Terminator or Artificer armour. *'''Heavy Metal:''' The Iron Hearts take full advantage of their prodigious strength, fielding large numbers of heavy weapons normally top bulky and unwieldy to be carried into battle by regular Marines. Assault Cannons, Gatling Rocket Launchers, and even Neutron Lasers can all be expected in the hands of an Iron Heart Legionnaire. Terminator units of the Legion typically prefer volume of fire over close combat capability, often sporting paired Assault Cannons or Volkite Culverins. *'''Marduk Pattern Terminator Armour:''' Sometimes Terminator tough ain't tough enough. It is for such occasions that the Marduk was concieved. The bastard middle child between the Contemptor Pattern dreadnought and standard Terminator armour, the Marduk exemplifies Iron Hearts combat doctrine, essentially a slow (but purposeful) heavy weapons platform in the vague shape of a man. Sporting a strengthened refractor field generator and enough plasteel plating to make a Land Raider blush, the Marduk is a beast of its very own caliber, typically outfitted with shoulder-mounted Vengeance Missiles and paired Demi-Culverins, though other variants have been observed.
