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

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.

Wanted to make a list with as many explosions and barrage weapons as possible but avoiding the Scorpius. I think this'd be fine for that but I want to know if this'd be annoying to play against. It might also be terrible and a bad idea though.

I like the idea of the Ironfire r.o.w but not sure how it plays. Does anyone run it or gone against it? What are your thoughts?

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?
