**Deus Ex Machina**

Until I get some more Thousand Sons painted, I'll be dusting off my old Iron Warriors for tournament play, this is the list I'm toying with, any thoughts/suggestions would be much appreciated.

176 Warsmith: MoCU, Furious Charge, Dark Blade, Bolt Pistol, Daemonic: Speed, Aura, Mutation, Strength, Essence.

140 2 Oblits

226 CSMs: AC: Power Fist+BP. 7 Marines: BP+CCW (x5), Meltagun (x2). Rhino: Armor/Smoke.

192 CSMs: AC: Power Fist+BP. 7 Marines: Bolter (x5), Plasma Gun (x2). Infiltrate.

115 CSMs: 6 Marines: Bolter (x4), Plasma Gun (x1), Lascannon (x1).

199 Vindicator: Mutated Hull, Daemonic Possession, Parasitic Possession, Dozer Blade, Smoke Launchers, Searchlight.

125 Basilisk: Indirect Fire.

186 Havoks: 6 Marines: Bolter (x3), Autocannon (x3). Tank Hunters.

**Deus Ex Machina**

I think I'm going to forego the Strength 8 on the Lord to get Infiltrate instead. Drop D. Strength too and give the Rhinos Dozer Blades.

Any thoughts?

**Mephet'ran**

Yeah, give the lord infiltrate, he'd go nicely with the infiltrating plasma squad.

Otherwise its nice, good to see that there are people who play IW without 9 oblits and 4 tri-las preds.

What can I say? That's a LOT of heavy weapons...the autocannon-tank hunter combination should ensure you an easier time taking down anything smaller than a Predator, the Vindi-Rhino group can wreak incredible havoc if it gets within 24"...good stuff.

If there are problems, they lie in the lack of mobility in the force outside the Rhinos, and the lack of Heavy Bolters, Flamers, or CCW/BP armed troops. You'll be slaughtering Marines with all those lasc., plasma, and melta shots, but life might not be so easy against more numerous opponents.

But it is hard to go too far wrong with tons of 3+ saving models toting lots of heavy weapons...

Oh, and the Lord should definitely Infiltraite -- if he doesn't, don't bother giving it to the non-Rhino squad either, and use them to guard your more static assets from assault.

**Deus Ex Machina**

Good point on fighting Hordes Adso, I think I'll either end up putting Flamers in the Rhino squads or swap one or two of the Havok squads for Heavy Bolters (maybe with infiltrate).

**ether dude**

That vindicator is pretty expensive for a tank that goes poof with one lucky shot.

**Deus Ex Machina**

Okay, finally got my hands on my codex, had a few point errors, but overall I'm pleased with my list and the changes suggested.
