Especially since the iron Warriors were one of the loyalist "reinforcements" and spent a good bit of their time quickly building fortifications. Which is why they are known as the biggest traitors of Isstvan V.

It isn't in the books, but the chaos legions were issues with bane strike bolter rounds, which were capable of cracking power armour.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8219140.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8219140.page GMT Importance of Isstvan V

But that's what I meant. Had Ferrus waited in space, they probably still would've gotten screwed by the traitor Legions, right?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8219194.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8219194.page GMT Importance of Isstvan V

More than likely, you'd have had several traitor fleets waiting to pounce on them. But Ferrus would never have waited, he was riled up from Fulgrims insult. In fact, without Ferrus on the ground, the other legions would have probably suffered even more.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8219202.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8219202.page GMT Re:Importance of Isstvan V http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8219621.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8219621.page GMT Importance of Isstvan V
As it happens, the only people who got away were those who survived the massacre on the surface, and managed to link up with a ship that survived the massacre in orbit, rather than just the latter.

There is a counterargument that it could have been worse - had Ferrus waited, the rest of the Iron Hands could have caught up, and the Iron Hands legion might have been destroyed, not simply decapitated.

Afaik, only the Alpha Legion and SoH had those. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8220743.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/668517/8220743.page GMT
