Iron within...


Recommended Posts

So I was reading the Iron Warriors section of Extermination when Pandora started playing Black Sabbath's Iron Man. I think this is a sign...

 

 

Edit: I should probably clarify why I posted this so as not to seem like an attention whore lol. I once wore the Iron and Gold of Olympia in the 41st millennium, I would love to return to my roots but I have no idea what a good 30k setup would be, what points to shoot for, etc. Any help from my Olympian cousins would be greatly appreciated.

 

All I know is, if I walk the path of trenches and shellfire once more... I WILL be making those damn Tyrant Siege Breakers.

Whats your target range?

As far as points go I have no idea what typical games of 30k are fought at. Currently most games I play of 40k are at the 1500-point level so somewhere around the 30k equivalent of a 40k 1500 point army if that makes sense?

Heinrich....

I love you

Finally you returned to the fold

Haha, I was always gonna come back man, 30k is where the awesome is. It probably won't be until after the summer but I want to start spitballing some ideas and saving the cash up for this venture. Fall/Winter here is perfect for hobbying because it just pisses rain every day for 6 months lol.

You and Heathens both doing IV? Disgusting.

Whatever, I'll be waiting for you on the walls, oathbreaker. devil.gif

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

That you should put down Extermination, pick up Massacre, and read up on the Iron Hands?

Thanks but I'm tired of following headless primarchs teehee.gif

Oh, because Mr. Teenyweeniehead is so much better?

2,500-3000 seems pretty standard-ish. I've done up an 1850 pt list as a guideline for the things I wanna make first. Decent enough to get a chunk of required selections out of the way, and still enough points to build some flavor units. Im trying to find a good 1850 IW list as we speak.

That's not what the girls say....

But it's excellent to see you taking on the IV legion Brother H. Looking forward to it.

"I don't gotta small ead jus' mah ahmah is huuuge."

 

Sorry I couldn't help myself. Anyway.

 

First thing came to mind as far as list building is

 

Cataphrachtii Praetor w/ terminator bodyguards

 

Siegebreaker Consul

 

Apothecaries

 

Veteran Tactical Squad with Nuncio Vox

 

2x 20 man tactical squads apothecaries attached

 

ARTILLERY!

 

That's just random from my brain stuff.

...'This early in the game', he says.

Do you even know what Legion I play? There's always room for artillery.

why put ranged terminators in a transport? skip laser destroyers on spartans. give those apothecaries power swords, fists to the sergeants. field medusae instead of basilisks. don't miss out on on iron havocs w/ missles (instead of spartan). and my last tip: mechanicum battlebrothers - get castellax.

I don't think the siege breaker can take a power fist and lightning claw....

Apart from that, it seems solid :) Phospex shells on Medusa's are brutal (my local group is already loading up on anti-tank for when I get mine!), so definitively think about those...though you could always go for the IW RoW too...(then again, has anyone tried it and is it worth it? Free extrta armour on all vehicles seems kinda nice....)

What about a Dreadclaw drop pod for the termies? only 100pts and counts as a dedicated transport. Disgorge and fire! Turns up on the first turn too!

 

You can spend the rest of the points on a breacher squad or some iron havoks or another scorpius or vindi :)
