Hello all - haven't posted in a while just wanted to get an idea of what people thought of my Iron Hands list and maybe what changes they would recommend.
I was building towards a full battle-company with free transports before to play with Red Scorpions but when people don't want to play against Forgeworld I try to stick to something inside the base game.
That said I do enjoy playing the newly buffed Smash-father and crew so - don't hate me.
Fist of Medusa Strike Force
Stormlance Demi-Company
HQ:
Chapter Master : Bike, Artificer Armor, LC / PF, Betrayers Bane , Gorgon's Chain
ELITES:
Command Squad : Bikes, 5x Grav Guns, 5x Storm Shield, 2x Melta Bombs, Apothecary
TROOPS
3 x Tactical Squads: Plasma Gun, Razorback w/ Las/Plas & Dozer Blades
Fast Attack:
Attack Bike w/ MM
HEAVY SUPPORT:
Devastator Squad: Bolters (lol..), Razorback w/ Las/Plas & Dozer Blades
Librarius Conclave
Librarian: Bike + Auspex
Librarian: Iron Stone
Librarian: Auspex
Raptor Wing
2x Storm Talons w/ Skyhammer Missiles & Assault Cannon
Land Speeder w/ 2x MM
Honored Ancients
Dreadnought w/ Missile Launcher & Assault Cannon
So the Bike Squad & Chapter Master go around dealing with the larger issues in the army using their
2D6 move after shooting to keep their distance when needed (or moving in closer) while the 3 Tactical Razorbacks drive around claiming objectives popping out of the transports to shoot at things and hopping back in. The Devastators drive around providing some bolter fire to back up either of the three tacticals while the attack bike tries to sneak around to pop something staying in cover as best as possible again using the
2D6 to Move Shoot Move. The landspeeder will do the same marking targets for the Storm Talons to take out. (I love that they are guaranteed to come in turn 2 - this is huge.) The librarians provide not only psychic support but Iron Hand's specific buffs to the tactical squads which I really love. Lastly the Dreadnought runs around providing support sticking close to one of the independent characters to POTM his weapons.
I think it provides a good amount of support, decent board coverage and mobility and with the
IH tactics I get some very nice buffs in durability. I'm really digging the Storm-lance Demi as well.
So - what do you think?
