Master of the Forge /w Ironstone, Power Axe, Meltabombs

Techmarine /w Servo Harness, Meltabombs

Tactical Squad x 5 /w Plasmagun, Razorback /w TL Assault Cannon

Tactical Squad x 5 /w Plasmagun, Combi-Plasma, Rhino /w 2x Stormbolters, Hunter-Killer Missile

Tactical Squad x 5 /w Lascannon, Rhino /w Stormbolter, Hunter-Killer Missile

Venerable Dreadnought /w 2x TL Autocannons

Venerable Dreadnought /w Assault Cannon, Fist /w Heavy Flamer

Venerable Dreadnought /w Assault Cannon, Fist /w Heavy Flamer

Ironclad Dreadnought /w Fist/Heavy Flamer, Seismic Hammer/Meltagun, Assault Launchers

Ironclad Dreadnought /w Fist/Heavy Flamer, Seismic Hammer/Meltagun, Assault Launchers

Thunderfire Cannon


The plan is to run the MotF with the squad in the razorback, the Techmarine with a squad in a rhino, and slowly move everything up the field except for the thunderfire cannon and the lascannon tacticals camping in fortified terrain. Ironclads head for the nearest armor, venerables pop off shots at anything causing problems, and MotF stays in range of all the venerables healing hullpoints with the Ironstone and repairs. Any problems that stand out with this list?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572897/6428077.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572897/6428077.page GMT MOTF because he's cheap?

Might sub for an even cheaper guy, was just using him to wave the Ironstone around.

Wouldn't av13 Ironclads be a little more survivable walking up the field though? They'd be getting 4+ IWND and 6+/3+ repair rolls from the techs and ironstone artifact, and the Venerables would be in bolstered hopefully 3+ terrain. Even Eldar/Tau would need to focus a considerable amount of firepower into killing them.

If I did go with the Plastic Cup Drop Pod route, wouldn't only half of them get to come down turn 1? It seems like that would be even less survivable with fewer targets to focus down at once.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572897/6430995.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572897/6430995.page GMT MotF are pointless given his Servo Harness' S8 AP1 attacks. So he costs, what, 120? 130? Puts you to 1150. Leaves room for a trio of naked 5 man tac squads in pods with points to spare, which is nine pods total. Five Ironclads turn one.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572897/6431657.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572897/6431657.page GMT
