Xwingt65 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 With tactical squads that small, maybe ditching the scorpius, and using the points for either a pair of apothecaries, or more bodies.

Moonstalker Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hello! Welcome to the HH! I think you've got a hell of a lot of armor for 1k points, but not much in terms of troops. You've also got quite a lot of anti-armor, probably more than you need. I think the only thing you're really gaining from using the RoW here is free autosimulacra on your vehicles. Your Praetor is a good number of points spent on a guy who can't run and has no real ranged options. He's basically only going to get into melee if your opponent wants him to. Otherwise, he will have real difficulty actually getting there. So his purpose is just bringing a RoW that isn't giving you a whole lot of benefits. I think you would be better off with a Centurion or a Consul that buffs your army in other ways, and pay for the Blessed Autosimulacra if you want them. I think you should drop the Praetor and Rapier Lasdestroyer, buff up your tactical squads, and reconsider your HQ: Contemptor-Mortis-Dual Kheres180Tactical Squad-15 members, Legion Vexilla, Sergeant with Artificer Armor, Power Axe, Bolt Pistol, Meltabomb225Tactical Squad-15 members, Legion Vexilla, Sergeant with Artificer Armor, Power Axe, Bolt Pistol, Meltabomb225Sicaran Battle Tank-Lascannon Sponsons175Whirlwind Scorpius115920 Now, with the remaining 80 points, you have a couple options. One is just bring a Centurion with 30 points of wargear. The other option is Spearhead-Centurion Castrmen Orth. I don't know if you have considered this special character, but I think you like tanks. And Castrmen Orth likes tanks. He would like to be commanding your Sicaran, giving it BS5 and Tank Hunters, and generally giving the enemy a bad day. He would do this for the low, low price of 80 points. I think that you and him could be friends.

Emperors Teeth Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I was looking forward to reviewing an Iron Hands army list... but I think this guy ↑ has more or less got it cracked. I like his army. I'd not considered Castrman Orth in small armies, myself. But I might now.

MasteredFury Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Honestly I've never considered speacial characters, but I like where this is going. Thanks!

Erren Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 That's an amazing list, kitwulfen. I haven't gotten anywhere near that well-rounded a list at such a low points level. I feel like it's also nicely Iron Hands-themed with 3 armored units at 1000 points and an IH special character. It would also expand well into higher points levels, especially if you magnetize the Contemptor.

MasteredFury Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Really, thanks kitwulfen. I like that list enough that I just ordered the bits for it... And a couple of cans of black spray....

MasteredFury Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I played this list for the first time last night and it rips. Castrmen and his sicarian are brutal. Got the 2 tac squads and the contemptor finished, and the tanks should be ready by Sunday thanks to a long weekend coming up. Pics coming soon.

Emperors Teeth Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Looking forward to pics and perhaps a bit of detail on the turns?I'm pretty confident he used kitwulfen's list as written... correct?

MasteredFury Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yeah I was using kitwulfens list. I'll do up a batrep tonight, and try post some photos Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288005-1st-1000pts-iron-hands/#findComment-3662122 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Teeth Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 I hadn't noticed before, but Kitwulfen's Tactical Squads are mis-calculated. They should be 235 points each... making the list 1020. Gotta shave 20 points somewhere... list of possibilities: -2x Vexilla -2x Power Weapon -2x Artificer Armour -Lascannon Sponsons, +Heavy Bolter Sponsons -Contemptor Mortis, +Regular Mortis with Lascannons (5 points spare... swap Whirlwind for Vindicator?)

Moonstalker Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Or drop 1 tactical marine from each squad, which is probably the direction I would go. Sorry for the miscalculation, I must've forgotten to account for the cost of the AA or Vexillas or something. Really glad to hear the list is working out for you, though, still looking forward to those pics!

MasteredFury Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Unfortunately i don't want to post pics till I have them based, and a couple of long weekends in a row have wiped out the funding for another week or so. Besides how the hell do I post pics? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288005-1st-1000pts-iron-hands/#findComment-3670071 Share on other sites More sharing options...
