Here is my attempt at creating a 30k list using the IW RoW Iron fire

HQ

Warsmith -Iron Halo, Melta Bomb, Plasma Pistol, Power Sword

Master of the Signal

Siege Breaker

Elites

Apothecaries x2

Legion Rapier -quad mortar, Shatter Shells, Phosphex canisters x3

Troops

Tactical Squad (10 marines) -sgt. melta bombs, nuncio vox

Dreadclaw (for above mentioned squad)

Tactical Squad (15 marines) -sgt. With melta bombs, nuncio vox

Breacher Squad (10 marines) -sgt. Melta bombs & breacher charge, nuncio vox

Heavy

Havocs (8 marines) -autocannons

Havocs (5) -Lascannons

This list leaves me close to 80 points short of 2k, so I have some wiggle room. Anyone have any suggestions? Part of me was wanting to remove the MoS and add another Tac. Squad with a normal Drop Pod, but I am not sure that would really help this list

What's the rationale for including the MoS? As your heavy weapons have BS5 as standard all it really looks to be bringing is the one time bombardment.

How many launchers do you have? If it's multiple you may want to split them into different squads to maximise your distribution of ironfire markers. if you have one you may want more as that will maximise the benefit you get from your rite.

Also is the warsmith a praetor?

I don't think you are making the most out of the benefits of the RoW, you have one unit drop podding in, which makes sense, but then only have one mortar and one one use barrage to get the benefit. I'd loose the breachers, loose one units of havocs, get a rhino for the 2nd tac squad and then spend the rest on artillery. You have to remember as well that if you don't place a second ironfire marker, it vanishes at the end is the phase, so you won't benefit from fearless.

My 2k ironfire list includes two phospex quad mortars, two medusas, and a unit of five bikers. Bikes scout forward, then a 24" move with turbo boost puts them wherever I need for a turn one battering of key targets. At least in theory it will, once they reach the table...

I accidentally forgot to put a x3 next to the quad mortar, as I will be fielding 3 of them, all kitted out the same and each is in its own squad. The Warsmith is a Praetor, and with my extra points, I could shave some from other areas to purchase a medusa or basilisk
