Why Aye Ya Canny Dakkanaughts!

I would be tempted to throw away the hellbrute and the raptors: a lone hellbrute is useless and frankly an easy target when moving at 6" per turn, and the raptors, whilst potentially good, can be easily outclassed in combat and range by other units.
I would take two maulerfiends in their place, they do alot more damage in close combat and are alot more threatening than a hellbrute as they move 12" and they have mtc and fleet

Thanks for the input. I have a Forgefiend with Hades Autocannons for fliers but sadly no Maulerfiends - I may have to invest in one, but I have heard mixed reviews on their efficacy with their current rules. I was mainly using the Helbrute to tie up an infantry unit or two and soak up Fire Warrior gunfire, but it is a bit of an odd one out I agree.

That's interesting as I thought so as well, I was sure it was only Lord or Sorceror with a Mark or cult troop characters that unlocked Elite infantry units. However Battlescribe seemed to accept it!

Nice to see a fellow iron warrior every now and then, and since your my brother iron warrior ill help you as much as i can. i suggest you only use your iron warrior space marine as elites, meaning you take some cultists as meat shields. the iron warriors are masters of assault meaning they use artillery and then charge with their rhinos.

1. warpsmith+ mark of tzeentch is very good
2. take off the helbrute and all units of csm and take 2x10 cultists
3. take chosen in rhino with 5 melta
4. take chosen in rhino with 5 flamers (bbos warpsmith goes in here for 7 flamer templates)
5, drop the raptors and take a heldrake (daemon vehicle)
6. drop the predator and take some oblits
7. dont play csm and play space marines since they work better for fluffy iron warriors
