Requiemnex Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 So... I have been playing Iron Warriors for 2 years now and I picked up the "newish" plastic terminator lord today.. I have seen all the posts with Dont do it and they suck but when it comes down to it I really want to be able to field a "fluffy" Lord for my army.. I was excited when I saw the sprue with all the wonderful little dohickies and watchamadingits. Everything with a nice sharp edge on it. I now am wondering a few things... MoK + DLC vs DW I am looking at fluffy and functionable.. Obviously the Iron Warriors are not into the cults and what not however they do use daemons to power the siege weapons and technology. So this being said I am not afraid to take a mark of whatever kind and give him a daemon weapon. I just want some feedback. I am taking the lord regardless and bikes / jump packs are not really all that fluffy for the IW. In addition to this.... Has anyone looked at the metal Juggernaught model for Fantasy? I was wondering what type of pieces it came in.. I think it would be a TON of fun to convert one into a 40k juggernaught with a Khorne Lord riding it.

Corpse. Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 TLC lord in land raider is a decent choice. You can add a combi-melta to that if you re-read his options. Do it. Ends up being decent, highly suggest a raider however. Deep strike is too bad for such a model, and don't think about walking him. If your a firepower army, then you could just take him as the points sink that might do something, most will say go with a prince instead.

Requiemnex Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 I have used the prince since 3.5 and want a more iron warrior feel.. I guess that is my next task is to purchase a Landraider and some other terminators.. I really never cared for termies but maybe I can work something out... Would you say MOK DLC is the way to go or would another mark benefit him better? I am a big fan of nurgle mark as the +1 toughness for wounding is huge to me.

kickingbird Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Mok and lightning claws are a good combo but if you give him a dw and mark you can tailor him for certain things. For example mos and dw is a good character hunter as you will most probably strike before them and instant kill, even at str 4 you get enough attacks to get a wound somehwere. Mon is good for kiling tough beasties, mot gives you a good ranged weapon that can be used well with plasma toting termies. Personally wouldnt go for khorne as its a bit risky even though you can get a insane amount of attacks.

Requiemnex Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Yeah problem with that is.. Only one player at my gameshop uses IC really... He uses calgar.... Nuff said... I have a lord in PA on a bike with a DW currently and I use him for that.. Allows me to get the drop on the other guy pretty easily. Turbo Boost save and extra toughness real cheap =) Can run 6 toughness with MON =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184203-chaos-lord-in-terminator/#findComment-2177749 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I've used deep striking lord with termies a few times for fluff reasons (black legion player), and I agree with those recommending a Land Raider, either with termies or 'zerkers to fill out the points. Deep striking such a slow, expensive melee character rarely pays off in 40k. In apocalypse, though, anything goes. The annihilation force is one of my favorite formations, and it's both fun and fluffy, especially for 'ole Abby himself. Way more fun and fluffy then that lousy 'lords of the black crusade' formation. I don't know who came up with that, but it's terrible. Anyway, yeah, in 40k a termy lord wants a transport, but in apocalypse an annihilation force led by a termy lord can be a great way to enforce ownership of a key objective.

Nehekhare Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 counts.as.abaddon. ;D or typhus, if you add a hvy flamer and smoke (gas) launchers. the undivided dw is one of the better ones for mass infantry killing - and fluffy, though.

Sception Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 I actually used the plastic termy lord to convert my Abaddon model. I've only used him in Apocalypse games, but he's been pretty cool in them. In one game He punched a Stompa to death after crippling it with a void grenade.

Requiemnex Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 After reviewing the rule book the melta trick only works with non terminator armor. I went with Dual LC. I am now debating on a mark. Planning on using Two pieces of plastic to create an interchangable symbal to the top of his armor.. Sort of like a standard for whatever mark is using. I will probably end up using it like a "counts as" type thing. I hear what you are saying about the whole movement thing... Trying to find an alternative to LR... I just got done reading corpse post about 20 man squads..... Couldn't I technically put him in the center of a unit of CSM without attaching him to the unit to get him the same exact bonus from the tzeench mark really? 4+ cover save obscured by other units.... Foot slog him until i get my hands on a LR? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184203-chaos-lord-in-terminator/#findComment-2178031 Share on other sites More sharing options...

the jeske Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 and would get targeted and die due to lack of eternal warrior. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184203-chaos-lord-in-terminator/#findComment-2178153 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bap2703 Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 And what would be the point of not attaching him to the unit ??? Weird idea :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/184203-chaos-lord-in-terminator/#findComment-2178241 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shas'o R'Vre Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 yay for Iron Warriors Termie Lords! I have to side with bap2703. why would you want to not attach him? sure you get a 4+ cover save, but in a 10 man CSM unit your opponent has to inflict over 10 wounds to even have a chance of hurting the lord, and then he's got his 2+ save. If he's hitting you with attacks that ignore armour, just designate them to the marines. [Edit] The Metal juggernaut is pretty cool, and from the looks of it pretty easy to convert too...

Requiemnex Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Yeah... That sukka is going in a Landraider.. Its the only way... Going to throw him in a LR with 4 Termies with claws.... MoK on the whole squad.. For the Lord.... I took a look at it.. The rider is one solid model however you can remove the shield. I was thinking I could saw the head off and file the shield down and put a nice big daemon weapon in there... 12 inch charge with +2d6 attacks.. I know the risks it is more out of fun than anything.
