Hey Peeps, been out of the game for a while now but I've been loosely keeping up with new releases and couldn't help but get excited for my fav chapter getting some serious love. That being said, what ya'll think of this maybe not fully min-maxed list? Most likely strong, but I decided for Dreadnoughts over Repulsors(as I personally love Dreadnoughts). List is now edited(sorry first three comments).

Cheese ball iron hands. Over powered games workshop soup of the day. Gonna get nerfed to hell next week. Rinse and repeat for the next latest and greatest

In regards to the post above, just play what you enjoy. All armies go through cycles of being strong and weak. This is an expensive game and a time-consuming hobby so you might as well enjoy the army regardless of what others think.

As for the list, I think you have a very strong comp. Good luck and have fun with your favorite chapter.

They don't need to ban it but they do need to limit the synergies between the various defensew it has.

How many dreadnoughts are you planning on making into characters?

It didn't even occur to me that you could turn more than 1 into a character, but I just checked. The plan was just for the Mortis dread to be the character.

Well, it's moot now that the FAQ is out anyways.

So instead of starting a whole new thread for another IH dreadnought list, I figured I would just post my latest iteration here. After the FAQ and all, and while still building on my love for dreads, I think adding some sleek looking and solid flyers would be a good idea.

Stormhawk Interceptor / Icarus Stormcannon / Typhoon Missile Launcher

Stormhawk Interceptor / Icarus Stormcannon / Typhoon Missile Launcher

Stormhawk Interceptor / Icarus Stormcannon / Typhoon Missile Launcher


2000pts / 10CPs(before stratagems)

Obviously that's a lot of DAKKA, and the flyers would help more in this air meta, as well as being the 'fast' that this list would otherwise lack. The dreadnoughts and the buff characters would form a slow, but moving clump around the Deredeo dread for his 5++ and stacking that with the 5+ 'FNP' from the chaplain. The Leviathan will get the warlord trait to allow him to leave combat, and the Redemptors act as bodyguard and close combat deterrent.

It looks good. Just make sure the Deredao bubble can fit the models you want since they must be wholly within.

One swap to consider is giving the Chaplain the Ironstone since he has an invul save. Just keeps him around longer if there is snipers to target him.

That's not a bad idea. I think I'm also going to run them as IH successor chapters. The Air Wing and the Vanguard Detachment will get Stealthy and Scions of the Forge, and the Battalion will get Stealthy and Long Range-range Marksmen. I'd also switch the Techmarine with the Primaris Lieutenant for the more adequate chapter buff. I figure there's little point in having innate 6+ FNP on the 'star' when the chaplain will be providing a 5+ to it, while a possible 2+ save is an improvement.
