Would it have been so hard just to type it instead of Copy-Paste from Scribe?

Chosen overall suck and don't fit the theme for Iron Warriors. Removing them saves you a ton of points.

I'd also recommend looking into The Purge FOC. If you really need Fast Attack you can just ally it in. The ability to take Plague Marines as "troops" and the 4 Heavy Support slots would be better for such a Warpsmith.

If you want to follow "Siege of Castellax" as a blueprint, there should be shed loads of oblits

Switch the plasma cannon on your comtemptor to a second close combat arm with plasma blaster, unless you already have it modelled that way, I'd definately steer clear of plasma cannon on a contemptor.

I'd lose the decimator as well. Fantastic model, terrible, terrible rules. Daemonic possession on the Vindies are priceless. Ignoreing shaken and stunned on the pen chart is invaluable, and BS3 doesn't matter too much on a large blast.

im an iron warriors player myself, and i get 3x3 oblits, and an allied formation from space marines with the three vinidcators, then i get 3x 10 chaos space marines with 2 melta each inside rhinos.
