I have drafted two 1500pt lists for my Iron Warrior CSM and would like a bit of help picking one of them.

My main opponents will be Eldar, Tau, Imperial Guard, Tyranids, Grey Knights and Orks.

It is not meant to be super competitive but I would like it to hold its own. I am trying to be fluffy for the Iron Warriors hence no marks except Nurgle on the Obliterators.

List 1

Sorceror - 140
Level 3, Aura of dark glory, spell familiar

Warpsmith - 125
Aura of dark glory

10 Marines - 235
Bolters, 2 plasma guns, plasma pistol, powersword, rhino

10 Marines - 220
Bolters, 2 melta guns, powerfist, rhino

10 Marines - 165
Lascannon, plasma gun

Vindicator - 145
Daemonic possession, combi bolter, dozer blade

6 Havocs - 128
4 Autocannons

3 Obliterators - 228 (Warpsmith & Sorceror here)
Mark of Nurgle

Aegis defence line - 100
Quad gun

Total 1496pts

List 2

Sorceror - 160
Level 3, spell familiar, terminator armour, gift of mutation

Warpsmith - 135
Aura of dark glory, gift of mutation,

10 Marines - 235
Bolters, 2 plasma guns, plasma pistol, powersword, rhino

10 Marines - 220
Bolters, 2 melta guns, powerfist, rhino

10 Cultists - 50 (hold in reserve for objective grabbing)

Vindicator - 145
Daemonic possession, combi bolter, dozer blade

6 Havocs - 128
4 Autocannons

3 Obliterators - 228 (Warpsmith here)
Mark of Nurgle

5 Terminators - 199 (Sorceror here)
Heavy flamer, chainfist, powerfist, 2 x combi melta, lightning claw (champion)

Total 1500pts

I like both lists but in the 2nd I am a bit concerned by the lack of anti flyer firepower (only having the Obliterators and Havocs with weapons suitable for this) but I should only have to worry about a dakkajet, 2 crimson hunters and a vendetta in my group so I am not sure if I need to spend 100pts on the aegis line to counter it.

Would I be better off with the 5 terminators and 10 cultists (list 2) or 10 more marines with lascannon and plasma gun manning the quad gun (list 1)?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563137/6249177.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/563137/6249177.page GMT
