This is a 1500pts Iron Warriors list with "Reneguard" allies, it's important to note that I've used some more suitable names for the renegade IG segment, but I've listed the actual unit name in brackets for clarity. My theme with this army is a small Iron Warriors contingent, who have intimidated/bribed/shot/corrupted a local PDF force and put them to good use on the front lines. The IW, however, have installed taskmasters in order to prevent the PDF from running as soon as someone bursts a party popper.

Questions, comments, criticisms all welcome, of course, my own thoughts about the weaknesses of this list are at the bottom.

IRON WARRIORS CONTINGENT:

Warpsmith - 125pts
- Extensive cybernetics (MoN)

Chaos Space Marines (10) - 170pts
- 2 plasma guns

Chaos Space Marines (10) - 170pts
- 2 plasma guns

Helbrute - 110pts
- Reaper Autocannon

Helbrute -110pts
- Reaper Autocannon

Chaos Predator - 140pts
- Lascannon sponsons
- Twin-linked lascannon

CORRUPTED PDF CONTINGENT

Sirdar (Lord Commissar) - 80pts
- Power sword (He's actually carrying a whip, but I couldn't really decide which option made the most sense, so I just went with a sword)

The chaff (Infantry platoon) - 255pts
Taskmasters (Platoon Command Squad) -40pts
- 2 flamers

Infantry squad
- HWT (Autocannon)

Infantry squad
- HWT (Autocannon)

Infantry Squad
- HWT (Autocannon)

Leman Russ Squadron -340pts
- Battle Tank
-Heavy Bolter Sponsons
- Exterminator
- Heavy Bolter Sponsons

Whole thing rounds out to a very neat 1500pts.

Now, the glaring weakness I see in this list is flyers, it has no dedicated anti-flyer unit in terms of skyfire or flyers itself. This would be a problem, but I'm counting on the fact that A. There's a lot of twin-linked autocannon fire in there, plus the TL lascannon, and more importantly B. Flyers are uncommon in my meta. Most players only field one or none at all, as we've decided that until everyone gets at least one (non-Forgeworld) flyer in their codex, it'd be unfair to implement them in any serious way.

So that being said, are there any weaknesses (or strengths, I'm always happy to receive compliments about my lists ) that you see in this list? If so, post 'em below! The person who gives the most constructive advice receives a theoretical pony, so get posting!

MoN bikers, really anything that has a lot of T6, that can get into CC.

Where is your warpsmith going? I would give him a invul save.
Helbrutes... hmm... If your spamming auto cannons why not Maulerfiends?

Warpsmith'd probably hang around one of the CSM units, I'd thought about giving him an invuln, but it'd run a fair few points and I'd need to give him the mark of Tzeentch to make it really decent. I'm using Helbrutes instead of 'Fiends (I think you meant Forgefiends, they're the ranged option with the ridiculous autocannons) for two reasons: One, they're much cheaper, 65pts cheaper that is. I realize you get a lot of mileage out of those 65pts, what with the higher rate of fire and the increased durability, but in the end I'd rather 2 models than 1 on the field. The second reason, and probably the more important one, is that I have helbrute models, and I don't have a forgefiend (yet). I unfortunately don't have a lot of money to spend at the moment, so I'm trying to use what I have.
