Hobby: paint scheme and heraldry
Paint scheme
The Iron Butchers have no fixed paint scheme. An Iron Butcher can look exactly like a classic Iron Warrior or World Eater, indistinguishable from their Legion's livery. Just as often, schemes mix: an Iron Warrior wearing some red and the mark of Khorne, or a World Eater sporting hazard stripes and the warband's symbol.
The rule is chaos: the Iron Butchers are a chaotic bunch, and Warsmith Vhorrax does not really care about their fashion sense!
Heraldry and markings
Markings recur across the warband, but none is constant and their use varies from model to model:
- hazard stripes;
- the warband symbol;
- the Caedere Remissum;
- Iron Warriors and World Eaters legion symbols;
- Khorne iconography.
The warband symbol
A fusion of the Iron Warriors and World Eaters legion symbols: a skull wearing the spiked iron helm of the Iron Warriors, its jaws gaping wide with the jagged fangs of the World Eaters, set over two crossed chainaxes.
The symbol exists in two versions, used interchangeably.

Kill Team
Since I don't play tabletop games, I never wrote rules for the Iron Butchers. D4Cfrogman did: you can field them as a Kill Team with his homebrew rules on KTDash.
