The dreads will act in pairs when nessecary, but other than when fighting enemy dreads and MC's I don't see when they'll be acting in pairs. Any advice as to how I can better use this list would be appreciated. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191408-ironclad-spam-2000pts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Secret Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Best advice I can give you is to post this in the army list section of the forum. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/191408-ironclad-spam-2000pts/#findComment-2271161 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 First problem I see is that the list isn't legal. You can't buy special weapons until you have a 10-man tac squad, so cut out all those meltaguns. Other than that, it's a very Shock And Awe list, but one that is VERY susceptible to meltaguns. Ironclads are fancy and all, but still die to pressured application of anti-armor fire. You'll want to be very careful about where you land the Ironclads. Monstrous Creatures, Meltavets, and Lance weapons will take your Ironclads apart at the seams. I do like the large number of twin-linked heavy bolters, though. They chew through infantry as a disgusting rate. Just be sure to focus fire on a unit til you break it. Do you have any plans for Dawn of War deloyment scenarios? A smart opponent will see all those pods and keep everything off the board. They'll give you first turn if they can, and roll in the anti-tank fire. Your options will be to land outside their deployment zone, or weather the incoming fire for a turn before you can strike back. Watch out for outflankers shooting you in the butt once the game gets rolling. A couple Scout Sentinels, Scout Bikes with AGL, or War Walkers will shove fire into the back of your Razorbacks. Watch for that. All in all, looks like a tough list to play against, but it can be countered by a level-headed opponent.

minigun762 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I wonder about taking a few normal Dreads instead to cheapen up the army and using those points to take some useful Troops. 1-2 squads in Rhinos backed up by 1-2 squads in Drop Pods.
