Brother Dallo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hey all. I am considering buying book 3 from FW to play Iron Warriors, but as I understand it, it doesn't contain all the rules required to field the legion. Do I also need book 1, or can I just get one of the red books? If so, which one do I need? Cheers.

Slips Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Red Books have the most up-to-date rules in their most complete form for the Legions. Book 3 has all the Iron Warriors Fluff and a few Special Mission Scenarios / Game Modes that the smaller books dont have. Unless you want the complete set and the fluff as well as the game modes and scenarios within, you can skip book 1.

Brother Dallo Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Cheers Slips. Do I need both red books, if I have Extermination, or only one? Dallo Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312897-book-query/#findComment-4156589 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Cheers Slips. Do I need both red books, if I have Extermination, or only one? Dallo You're better off with both Red books since they're easier to transport :p You could get away with LA:CAL and Book 3 Though.

ThatOneMarshal Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Just beware that the red books ONLY have the space marine crusade list with special legion rules. If you want mechanicum which with iron warriors are always fun and fluffy then you need book 3 or 2. You could also get 1 but the list is really barren.

Brother Dallo Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Ok. Have there been any solid rumours on the contents of the books? I.e. Will they replace the red books, or exist along side them, meaning that you need all of them?

We will get a heresy era red book And then a scouring era red book. Dont know about updating the legion specific book and/or rolling them all into one. I have held the mechanicus red book so that is done and waiting to be shipped to fw so they can sell it to us.
