kharn_the_betrayer Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi, I normally stick to praising the skull throne but I have wanted to make a undivided army and have my ideas split between word bearers and iron warriors. After converting up a Dark Apostle (which I did under the old codex) and I will paint him I decided to go with the siege masters. Now the pending leigon codex might get me excited about WB again but until then I want to make IW. I want to use the normal list and my plan is blocks of CSMs for a gun line backed up by vindicators. I also plan on some IW beserkers for when I need to get into cc. Is this a good idea? It keeps it fluffy but gives me some options. Or should I go mobile and rhino mount them?

Maeklos Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Both options - a gunline army as well as a mobile infantry force - work well, depending on what you're facing. Traditionally (as in, fluff-wise), the Iron Warriors are more of a siege force, utilizing heavy artillery to pound the enemy, then making lightning advances. To best reflect this, I'd go with a two-part force: one backed up by heavy artillery (Defilers are pretty much all we've got at the moment in the "artillery" category) and including heavy weapon-toting squads and Havocs; and a second force of mechanized infantry and Berzerkers (maybe even a squad of Iron Warriors with shields and thicker armour [Plague Marines]) with a couple of Vindicators moving in an armoured spearhead. But that's just my take on it, I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes IWs use to get Khorne Bezerker & if you check the Index Astarties book you will see them in the background. I would possible op for a Rhino for mobilty & get those Bezerker to counter attak when need be. But then again 5th Ed is coming out. I say right now go Rhino. Possible have a few other squads in Rhino to help support the Bezerker along with the vind tank. IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharn_the_betrayer Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 I was thinking of combining the batallion and the army for a good solid fire base of csms, and beserkers along with a rhino. I also get termies, a lord and a few other things. Is this a good idea? It gets me everything i think i need minus a vindicator or two. Any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 how efficient do you want the list to be ? the new dexs works really well with IW and BL . 2/3 rhino squads some oblits , 2x3 termis and you have a nice army to play with . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soooo, is that 10 man squads with twin assault weapons or single hvy and single assault? I usually like the twin assault weapons, and keep the hvy weapons on oblits only, but that's me now. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
