'''Kardan Stronos''' is an [[Iron Father]] of the [[Iron Hands]] [[Space Marines]] [[Chapter]] who serves as its current elected [[Chapter Master]].{{Fn|8}}
===History==[[Image:Stronos.jpg|thumb|right|275px|Kardan Stronos{{Fn|3}}]]=
Kardan Stronos was originally a Space Marine of [[Clan Vurgaan]], however he was transferred to [[Clan Garrsak]] upon him reaching the rank of [[Space Marine Sergeant|Sergeant]].{{Fn|6}}
After the formation of the [[Great Rift]], Kardan Stronos appeared on [[Vigilus]] leading eight [[Clan-Companies]] of [[Iron Hands]] and two companies of [[Brazen Claws]] in aid of their [[Mechanicus]] allies in the [[War of Beasts]].{{Fn|7}}
===Personality and beliefs===
Kardan Stronos is an firm believer in firepower and considers it the only tenet of battle. He considers [[Razorback]] assault transports to be the pinnacle of battlefield effectiveness. Like many in the [[Iron Hands]], he is also a follower of the [[Cult Mechanicus]] and worships the [[Omnissiah]].{{Fn|1}}
Of all the enemies the [[Iron Hands]] have faced, it is the [[Necron]]s that Kadan Stronos hates the most, viewing the soulless automatons as abominations in the eyes of the [[Omnissiah]]. When expecting to face Necron forces, Stronos will persecute the wars with the Necrons more perniciously than the [[Clan Council]] believe to be necessary.{{fn|2}}
