As was typical for Destroyers, their power armour was blackened and heavily damaged by their weapons, though the legion's artificers ensured that the damage was mainly cosmetic.

The Red Hand were the elite of the [[World Eaters]] [[Destroyer Squad]]s, during the [[Great Crusade]] and [[Horus Heresy]].

==Overview==
Only those Destroyers who bore the World Eaters' Blood Hand on their power armour could have the right to enter its ranks. This mark was earned by those who had demonstrated exemplary [[RAGE|RAEG]] or [[RIP AND TEAR]] in the name of <s>[[Khorne]]</s> their Legion. In battle, the Red Hand were consistently in the World Eaters' vanguard, as they sought to prove themselves ever-worthy of bearing the Blood Hand. This led them to fire their Destroyer weaponry at their foes, [[Blam|even if their fellow World Eaters would be caught in the blast]]. Thus the Red Hand were not drawn together through brotherhood or camaraderie, but instead through rivalry and enmity.

In battle, they could be equipped with Jump Packs and carried melee weapons, unlike most Destroyer Squads. They were reminiscent of the ritualistic gladiatorial weapons of ancient Romanii, although it is most likely 'inspired' by [[Nuceria]] all things considered. Also as a result of their Destroyer weaponry, the Red Hand's power armours were left heavily damaged, though were still operational. When they were grouped in squadrons, the Red Hand were individually referred to as '''Ravagers''' and were led by officers known as the '''Blood Bonded'''.

Equipment-wise, in terms of armour, it is the same for most Destroyer Squads. The Red Hand wear a heavily beefed-up [[Mark IV: Maximus Armour]], alongside wielding [[Rad Missile Launcher]]s and [[Grenades & Explosives#Rad Grenade|Rad Grenades]]. However, given their nature, some of them just goes straight into [[RIP AND TEAR]], via a traditional [[Bolt Pistol]] and [[Chainsword]]/[[Chainaxe]] combo. Some however, may opt for more specialised equipment such as a [[Thunder Hammer]], [[Power sword|Power Sword]] or even '''Caedere Weapons''' such as a [[Chain Weapon#Excoriator Chainaxe|Excoriator Chainaxes]], as well as [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Meteor Hammer|Meteor Hammers]], [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Barb-Hook Lash|Barb-Hook Lashes]] or paired [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Falax Blade|Falax Blades]].

Crunchwise, these are your merry band of pissed-off Destroyers that gain +1 to combat resolution and sweeping advances but are forced to charge the nearest enemies. These bastards are even harder to sell now since they can't even take [[Wat|a transport]] and can only buy Caedere Weapons at full cost. While they can buy a rad-missile launcher per 5 models, the bigger draw is the Thunder Hammer, as it lets them carry it and their spare pistol and chainsword so they aren't swamped by anything that might overpower them.

Nevertheless, they must charge if there's an enemy unit with 12" when your Assault phase begins, and you are able to do so. Not really a problem considering you wanted to charge anyway, but you can take jump packs to avoid failed charges, both by jumping closer before you charge and getting a better movement modifier on the charge.
