Drop Trooper with Demo Charge




Looking to start 30k with a few guys at my local gaming group, we're starting small at 600 points and building up our forces from there, sort of like a slow grow thing. I've (finally) decided on iron warriors as my legion and have drafted up a list on battle scribe but i'm not totally sure on what i am doing! I'm not even sure which books i need!

HQ
- Praetor w/ cataphractii armour, combi-bolter, chainfist, 150

Elites
- 5x cataphractii terminators w/ combi-bolters and power fists, 200

Troops
- 10x tactical marines 125
- 10x tactical marines 125

---600---

i think the list is ok, not sure how great termies are in 30k tho and at this low points level, i do like the look of quad mortars as a potential replacement, any advice on how to improve the list or any other comments are welcome.

Looks a perfectly good start. You'll need the two red books for astartes, and a steady hand for all those hazard stripes. Look forward to seeing more iron

Have a look at my P&M blog - currently working on Sons of Horus

A lot less ap2 in 30k so terminators are fine.

Looks great; do you know if you are going to be aiming for any particular Rite of War?

I quite liked the look of the Iron fire one, i like the idea of running infantry squads up the board backed up by loads of artillery support!

One of my best friends runs the Ironfire. He runs a Medusa, two quad mortars and his legion specific terminators as his long range support units. I favor the Whirlwind Scorpius for artillery and from what I understand the Sicaran Arcus is more of the same. Either way, go nuts. Iron Warriors are excellent.
