→Gene-Seed
During the [[Unification Wars]] and [[Great Crusade]] the Iron Warriors' [[gene-seed]] was said to show above-average rates of adaptability and low rates of implant rejection. This was present even before the capture of [[Selenar]] gene-labs during the [[First Pacification of Luna]], allowing for the Legion to rapidly grow in size even before the Great Crusade had expanded outside the [[Sol System]]. Serving in large numbers early on alongside the [[I Legion]] and [[V Legion]], their easily mass-produced gene-seed saw them always boast heavy numbers despite the great attrition rates endured during the Crusade and subsequent Heresy.{{Fn|20a}}
Today, extended time within the [[Eye of Terror]] has seen the corruption of much of their gene-seed. Many Iron Warriors become corrupted and sport mutations that are sometimes replaced with cybernetic limbs. Those implanted with Iron Warriors gene-seed are thought to suffer from varying degrees of suspicion and paranoia, but are also extremely intelligent and possessing posess high problem -solving abilities.{{Fn|1g}}
