I am going to get alot of flakk for this but am I the only one who feels like the Iron Warrior's Legion Specific rules seem abit bland? I am not saying they are bad, just middle of the road and seem to be pale in comparison to the likes of the Imperial fists. Wrack and Ruin is nice, but after that and Seige Terminators the Legion seems to fall flat.

I love the Iron Warriors and am in love with their fluff but I feel like my love stops their as their RoW and Legion rules seem watered down to me.
Also the upgrade set from Forgeworld looks like trash, but that is just my personal opinion.

The iron warriors Legion trait is excellent, taking no morale tests from shooting alone is brilliant, this means that as long as you keep blasting away with big units advancing up the field, you will win the attrition war as they will fail a test eventually, it also lends well to msu (as much as you can Do that in hh).

My mate plays 3 20 man units of breachers (expensive I know) with melta bombs, they advance under cover of his medusa siege guns, with a couple of sicarions and tyrant siege terminators, the tyrants are excellent, so are medusas, and the large blobs are a pain to assault and can assault after firing rapid fire too (rite of war), and I simply have to kill every last one to stop them advancing on me, quite an advantage.

I really like Iron Warriors rules. They seem pretty above average to me between assaulting after rapid fire, terminators with missile launchers, reducing cover saves, and tank hunting devastator sqauds, I don't think you'd be wanting for power. They may not be an "Easy Mode" legion, but they are not a "Hard Mode" legion by any stretch.

Iron Havoks are awesome as well.

The Fists legion traits are great, and Sigismund is the best secondary character in the Heresy, but they are not auto win. The Templar are maybe top 5 in units but the Warders are easily bottom five.

Perturabo would hand Dorn his ass, an that is a shame.
