Hello all. I'm new to Dakka,

Below is my idea for my 2k Iron warriors list. Any opinions would be great. I am trying to keep it as fluffy as possible but at the same time I don't want to get steam rolled every game. Oh and I really don't want to use cult troops or marks. Don't want it to be too easy lol.



Chaos Lord
Terminator Armour
Power Axe
Murder Sword - 140. Deep strikes in with the Terminator squad pop something important then cause chaos.


Warpsmith - 110. Sits on the defence line manning the gun.


CSM x10
Autocannon
Plasma gun - 165. Sits on the defence line with the Warpsmith.


CSM x10
Autocannon
Plasma gun
Rhino - 200 Home objective campers. Autocannon support.


CSM x 10
Plasma gun x2
Rhino - 205.


CSM x 10
Plasma gun x2
Rhino - 205. These 2 take and contest objectives


Helldrake
Baleflamer - 170


Helldrake
Baleflamer - 170


Maulerfiend - 125. Fast and may take pressure of the Vindicators. And I love the model.


Vindicator
Siege Shield
Demonic possession - 145


Vindicator
Siege Shield
Demonic possession - 145. I love these things! I would have 3 if I didn't think it would be major overkill.


Aegis Defence Line
Quad Gun - 100


Terminaters x3
Power Axe x 1
Power Sword x 2
Combi melta x1
Combi melta x 2 - 112 with The Lord as above.


1992 points



There we go. Tear it apart lol.

Cheers everyone.

I'd grab a combi bolter or another small weapon on the vindi's, that way you're better protected against weapon destroyed results (you have to pick which weapon randomly)

Deepstriking the lord and terminators... good luck with that, a lot of points for a suicide unit, sure you might pop something important but you have to try really really hard to kill off more points than the unit is worth, and keep in mind, you are likely to be deepstriking next to a lot of badass, rapidfiring shooty units, this is 6E

also that unit and the two helldrakes are all reserve, you may need a comms relay because you know some games those guys are not going to come in at all until it's two late.

the CSM units are really pretty flimsy, there are plenty of ways to kill off marine squads and pop rhinos these days, you will have a hard time being offensive and taking objectives with that. Also you should at least give them VOTLW to be Iron Warriors.

Taking marks is not anti-fluff for an Iron Warriors list. no reason they can't have marks but maybe cult troops are a stretch, not to me though it all goes... nurgle is generally a great approximator of the increased toughness that bionics might give CSM's. With this 'dex the only 'easy button' is helldrakes.

General advice, I'd think about how the list works and whether you want a gunline or not; if you do want a strong firebase... and something fluffy... grab a bastion and stick a quad gun, and havocs with 4 autocannons inside!

The irony is that according to the novels, iron warriors despise mutation and decay by replacing rotten or warped limbs with bionics.

This is how I would do iron warriors.

2x warp smiths-110x2=220

2x CSM+5, 2 Meltaguns, rhino-195x2=390
2x Cultists+10-90x2=180

6x Havocs, 3 AC, 1 LC-125x6=750

2x ADL+icarus LC-85x2=170

Total=1710 as a back bone for double force organization chart. Need 290pts more.

I would take more troops.
CSM+5, 2 meltaguns, rhino-195
Cultists+10-90

total=285

A few pointers on what I would do.

- DS'ing 3 termies and a lord is not a big risk. But if you play against an assault oriented army, I would keep them on the table.

- The murder sword sucks, I've tried it several times, it never works.

- I would have 10 cultist to camp on a home objective so you can have more men moving up the field.

- I would also have a 35 man cultist squad with three flamers to move up with the temie lord instead of three termies. You can also give the lord the burning brand in addition to the power axe.

Well, I like Demio's list but I think he can improve it a bit more:

- Considering that list, I think you can skip the terminator caos lord. You can spend his points in something more usefull like aditional Heavy Support choices (IMHO, you don't have enough of it).

- I won't take the warpsmith just to take care of a a dual-twin-linked autocannon.... a regular CSP can do this job, so maybe I prefer a chaos sorcerer.

- Like Meade said, spend some points to give to your CSM the rule VOTLW unless you want a bad rolling makes them run away like pussies.

- I think you will have many problems with heavy tanks...put many melta-guns or just pray for no LR will appear in front of you!

Regards.
