===Strategy and Tactics===
Between battles or on their warships while in the [[Warp]], Iron Hands often spend time uploaded to crypcryo-pods, inloading tactical schematics and information. This aids the over-arching strategic hexamathic formulae that they deploy while on campaign known as the '''Calculus of Battle'''. This system seeks to breakdown wars to raw data and numbers, where enemy actions, logistics, casualties, and environmental elements can be predicted and balanced like an equation. Once a conclusion has been reached, the Iron Hands nihilistic brutality translates well to war. When they attack, they do so without hesitation or mercy and will show little regard to the well-being of allies, as the Calculus of Battle has no factorial representation for civilian.{{Fn|63c}}
This ruthless ruthlessness extends even their own Battle-Brothers, who will be coldly sacrificed to achieve an objective should it be necessary to achieve a victory of worth greater than the cost expended. This does not deter warriors of the Iron Hands however. Iron Hands fear no death and view injury in battle as something that should be sought after instead of shunned.{{Fn|63c}}
The Iron Hands rarely commit to a campaign unless overwhelming victory is all but guaranteed. To that end, they employ [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] [[Tech-Priest]]s known as the '''Magi Calculi''' whose job it is to analyze data and ascribe to it strategic worth and likelihood of victory. However the [[Iron Council]] can overrule the decisions of the Magi Calculi, as seen when [[Kardan Stronos]] disregarded their conclusions and joined [[Roboute Guilliman]]'s [[Indomitus Crusade]] anyway.{{Fn|63c}}
