I saw someone post a list with Iron Warriors as Combinded Arms Detachment instead of Chaos Warband and stated the benefits where free votlw and since the oblits and havics have votlw they get tank hunter and some how get obj sec from another rule

Yep. Looks.. quite good actually. The oblits get obsec as they are a troop choice in a CAD.

Spawn is a good fit as oblits are very weak to grav.

Mutilators are also troops for iron warriors. And.. still bad. Use those points elsewhere. A punchy Lord or another sorcerer perhaps.

I believe the benefits are something akin to chapter tactics. The only requirement is you have to use a certain mark of chaos to gain the bonuses.

I think if you can drop the sorcerer and then the mutilators (maybe a little bit more...) you can get yourself a daemon prince with the 2+ armor and just summon daemons. That or just split your oblits up and run a cad with 12x1 oblits

Wait!!! I just realized that the warband conferres free votlw!
So with out the warband formation i have to spend points on votlw to get iron warrior fnp and tank hunter sonce i am using a CAD.

No. No. No.

Being a legion detachment confers free LOTW. The warband is just a formation , which gives obsec and doubles your rolls on the glory table.

Your CAD is fine.

Should I forgo Oblits for Terminators with pow fists or mutilators?

Why are you taking The Purge detachments again? You can take a similar amount of Spawn in the Iron Warriors CAD.

Because RH spawns only cost 18ppm.

For Iron Warriors, I don't think I would ever run Termie's over Oblit's, given the choice. You might drop one Oblit to buy an ADL w/ Ammo Dump ... it will drastically increase the accuracy of your Havocs -and- give them some cover. Heck, if you snag a few more points, buy some barricades and stick your command squads behind them, letting them go to ground and hopefully not giving up KP's.
