Riding the Ironfire: Iron Warriors 3000pts


Carnivore

Recommended Posts

It's been a while! I've been away from gaming for the past year on account of work and my son being born, but now that I've found some balance in my life again (haha) I'm trying to get back into the hobby. I've always favored close combat-centric armies (thus my Night Lords and Space Wolves), but lately I've been taking a look at the Iron Warriors with greater interest.

I've seen some interesting lists on here, particularly with the Mechanicum as allies. I'm looking to build an army that is long range heavy but can still mix it up in melee when necessary. I'm not sure I've accomplished that but I'm hoping for some feedback to that end.

The basic strategy so far is to have the Praetor and his Iron Circle bodyguards sitting back and protecting the artillery alongside the Archmagos. The tactical squads push forward and call the artillery strikes in, the Deredeo protects from air attacks, and the Leviathan controls the midfield and provides a massive, hard-hitting target that can't be ignored.

@Unknown Legionnaire: Sorry for that oversight! Thanks for the correction - I edited the list to fix that mistake.

 

@LtDan: Is there something you think the quads should replace? I thought I had enough artillery but I guess with this legion and this rite in particular there's no such thing lol.

@LtDan: Thanks for the advice, mate. I implemented the changes you suggested. Does this look more like what a correctly implemented Ironfire list should look like? I want to be able to pound them at range but still keep a few bruisers in the list that can brawl should the need arise.
