Hello, all, if you've followed me around or if you read my introductory post, you'd know I absolutely LOVE the iron warriors and the Horus Heresy. This thread is dedicated to the documentation of my development of my own little army of Perturabo's sons from 30k. My plan is as follows: Vehicles: Kratos battle tank, Dreadnought of some sort (debating on deredeo, leviathan, or contemptor). Assault squad: 10x Mk III Astartes, 10x Mk VI Astartes, and x5 cataphractii terminators. Command squad: 1x Mk VI praetor with chain axe, ?x Mk III commanders, (I haven't decided how big I want my command squad) Centerpiece: The Lord of iron himself, Perturabo (maybe hopefully) I should probably clarify this is for a diorama, so if it's not game legal then that's why. This project will take a long time. With me being in marching band and with drama coming up soon, it may take longer. And with my lack of employment and steady income, acquiring all of the aforementioned units will be a challenge. But, I have faith in me and my planning skills that I can get it done, no matter the amount of time it takes. With all that out of the way, the cataphractii's had shipped finally and arrived at my house not too long ago. So, that will be my first step in my journey to this giant fever dream of a project. (Also, please make an iron warriors sub forum, I'm begging you.)

This is thread I am going to show what I am doing in the hobby, and what I have done. It will be all Chaos related, mostly Iron Warriors which is my main army, but also some Death guard, in an Iron warrior scheme, some depraved daemons, and the odd knight or two. More to come in the future. Cpt.Danjou

Hello Warlords of the Chaos wastes! I have been playing 40k since 5th edition, and with the release of 10th, I wanted to try and make an incredibly challenging and immersive large game for my player group. The inclusion of boarding action rules making the jump from 9th to 10th helped inspire me to do this, as well as a general love of siege warfare picked up from playing the Iron Warriors. To summarise, in this mission, the attacker must break past my Iron Warrior blockade and into Warsmith Du'Rak's fortress. They are to locate and rescue a powerful navigator the Iron Warriors captured on a previous raid, to prevent them from learning of secret warp routes. The fortress is shielded from teleportation, so the attacker cannot initially deep-strike a terminator squad to clear the place out. Instead, they must storm the walls and break in themselves. While an incredibly difficult mission for the attacker (by my estimate) I am hoping the overall challenge, complexity, and immersion (I plan to have a system in place where the Navigator's master will be relaying information to the attacker as the game goes forward) of the mission will attract players from my group to try it, in particular, a good friend of mine who plays Imperial Fists (while mortal enemies on the tabletop, I ensure you that IF and IW players are the best of friends from a shared love of walls and trenches) who I'm certain will love to give this mission a go. I went and got the boarding actions terrain kit from my LGS and have only just finished cutting it out of the sprue. I've noticed that while doing some test assembly that the double wall pieces don't slot in very easily, so I'll need to file that down sometime in the future. For now, here is the set up for my interior stronghold. Those who have Arks of Omen Abaddon will recognise the setup from one of the scenarios, and this is because that mission breaks the board into five chambers, which is what I wanted to do for my castle. This is going to go behind a large wall, and the attacker will need to enter at one of the three objective markers, either by storming the main gate (entry 2) or by getting models atop the outer wall and "embarking" into one of two towers (entries 1 and 3) What I want to do to amp up the difficulty even more is cover each chamber with a bit of cardboard in the shape of the room so that the attacker will effectively be going into each room blind. Each chamber will also have a lot of scatter terrain in it to convey a rooms purpose, stuff like an armoury, command centre, that sort of thing. The hostage the attacker will need to collect will be in the medical facility (here marked with a hated Imperial Fist Chibi). I did see Mantic games has a sci-fi terrain set which I will get to act as terrain. For the moment however I'd like to make a start on the main walls. I've elected to paint my walls in this style, as found in Duncan Rhodes' Painting Academy tutorial on youtube. As a general rule, I like to write up the steps found in these style tutorials, which makes it easier for me to reference whenever I'm actually painting. That's all I have for my first post. I have one set of walls set up to be painted (funnily enough the type found in Duncan's tutorial, purely because they slotted in easiest without need of further intervention) which I hope I can show in my next update. I will also hope to expand further into the mission rules. See you then, Spiros14

"Iron Within." resonated like a hiss in the machinery room lit only by candles. A deep voice replied, "Iron Without." "Did you call me, my Lord ?" "Yes, Zakerioth" pronounced the Warpsmith emerging from the half-light. "He who speaks to the warp revealed to me some of the things I want you to take part in." Zakerioth's pincers opened and closed rhythmically. "I'm listening to you, my Lord." "As you know, we are heading to support a group of Word Beares that orbits around Sigholith IV. They want to put their hands on an imperial relic for their weird rituals. The agreements are that if we help them in the siege of the planetary capital, they will give us access to its forge. You also know that the Imperial Guard is launching aid messages for some days and that some groups in Astartes have responded." The Warpsmith's servo hands moved excited in the dark. "There are also the Fists." Zakurioth, the Turingah's butcher, smiled sharply. "While we will be busy fortifying the landing area, I want you, Zakerioth, to lead one of the two kill teams that will deal with the Fists. You will also have about twenty battleslaves to use as you'd like." "It will be an honor and a pleasure." "Exterminate them, be the retribution of their arrogance. Now go, gather your brothers. Good hunting."

Greetings fellow Warsmiths …… and other legion commanders opposed to the corpse emperor. Welcome to the 37ths Dodekatheon, please ensure all weapons of mass destruction are appropriately stored and all war engines are parked within the marked bays. In this thread you’ll find my musings and ideas for running my Iron Warriors Grand Company in 10th. I’m not an overly competitive player and haven’t got much interest in taking them to a tournament. However they are my main faction for 10th and will frequently be on the table at our Friday club nights, my main thinking with these lists is they have to be able to punch up and pull there punches as the club has all comers from tournament custodes and eldar to fluffy middle of the road armies and even a few poor deathguard and votann players. Feel free to get involved, as this is the space is to chat about the army and list evolution rather than hijacking other threads.

Slowly returning to the hobby after a bit of a break and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the Iron Warriors are up to in the current fluff?
