<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Iron Warrior Warpsmith"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Iron Warrior Warpsmith I know he's not going to last long with two wounds so I was thinking about giving him some defensive upgrades but I'm not sure what to give him.

5++, 4++ or a 3++?

or a MoN?

Any thoughts

With only two wounds he is never going to be that durable. Keep him in cover or in a vehicle and he should be tough enough to get the job done. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486514.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486514.page GMT Re:Iron Warrior Warpsmith
He's pretty pricy as his is anyway, If I start adding stuff to him I might as well take a special character or something.

so you think I should just rely on his 2+ save? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486536.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486536.page GMT Iron Warrior Warpsmith

unfortuneatly he cannot take special issue wargear, so he can only have a 5++ or 4++ with MoT. You could load up on MoN and a 5++ for 30 points total, but then he gets mighty expensive. I think only consider that if he is going to be your warlord. Otherwise rum him naked. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486751.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486751.page GMT Re:Iron Warrior Warpsmith http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486786.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486786.page GMT Iron Warrior Warpsmith MoN would probably be more helpful than a 5++.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486788.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486788.page GMT Iron Warrior Warpsmith http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486904.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5486904.page GMT Iron Warrior Warpsmith

Oh yeah, I missed that thanks for pointing that out
I did want to run him as the warlord in smaller games, but I don't want to give my opponent a 'free' victory point by taking a support HQ and not a 'fighty' one

I want to theme it as more of the attacking army rather than a defensive one , I really like Maulerfiends. + it would be good to get use of the Warpsmiths bs5 melta somehow.

I might just run them both, a Terminator Lord as the warlord and a Warpsmith as support would that be viable in an army with Daemon engines and Rhinos

1) camping a gun at an ADL
2) buried in a plague marine squad in a rhino, gets fearless and adds another pair of special weapons
3) inside a land raider with an assault squad. He can help keep the transport alive and going forward. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5488322.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5488322.page GMT Iron Warrior Warpsmith http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5488326.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5488326.page GMT Iron Warrior Warpsmith

Fighty HQs might seem more durable, but they dont add much value if they are not in battle. Thus you tend to expose them. A warpsmith should sit back and be fairly well defended. If you repair 2 hull points on your daemon engines you should consider him a success. He isnt a free VP because he isn't up at the front line of battle. If you have a nasty Khorne lord on a jugger with AoBF, your opponenet knows exactly where that guy is going and that he must shoot him down to win the game. If he shoots him down, he has gotten slay the warlord and killed your most expensive assault unit, probably winning the game. If you are running a support warpsmith around with some objective holders in the backfield, shooting them might help but killing them doesnt win the game.
He can pick his battles, making sure he only targets things without AP2. A warpsmith is pretty terrifying if you didnt bring AP2.

I'm thinking about running a mech list with maulerfiends running up with the Rhinos,
but I've got second thoughts about forgefiends and a Defiler now, ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5490833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/519703/5490833.page GMT
