2500 Iron Warriors opinions needed

Recommended Posts

Hey all, looking at attending a 30k day here soon and was hoping to get some opinions on a couple list ideas that have been bouncing around in my head. The idea is to take advantage of Perturabo's ability to start bringing in reserves on turn 1 with the Tyrants and Fire Raptor deep striking, hopefully delivering some punishment upon landing, and then have the support elements move up and mop up. I'd love to hear some other opinions. This list isn't necessarily supposed to be competitive, more just running with what I thought would be interesting.

 

LOW: - 490 pts

 

Perturabo w/ Forgebreaker

 

RoW - Pride of the Legion

 

 

HQ: - 260 pts

 

Damocles Command Rhino / heavy bolter + shrapnel bolts

 

Centurion Siege Breaker

- Cataphractii Armor, Chainfist, 1 Phosphex Bomb

 

 

Troops: - 810 pts

 

7 Man Tyrant Siege Terminator Squad

- 2 Chainfists

 

7 Man Tyrant Siege Terminator Squad

- 2 Chainfists

 

 

Elites: - 235 pts

 

Contemptor-Mortis Dreadnought

- 2 Kheres Assault Cannons

 

Legion Rapier Battery

- Laser Destroyer Array

 

 

Heavy Support: - 705 pts

 

Legion Artillery Tank Squadron

- 2 Medusas w/ Shrapnel Bolts

 

Legion Fire Raptor Gunship

- Shrapnel Bolts

 

Legion Sicarian Tank

- Lascannon Sponsons

- Armored Ceramite

- Shrapnel Bolts

 

Total: 2500 pts

 

The other version of this list basically trades the Sicarian and the Rapier Battery for a Sicarian Venator w/ Armored Ceramite and Heavy Bolter Sponsons w/ Shrapnel Bolts.

As is, it looks pretty good if, light on actual bodies in the list. I'd almost say ditch the single Las Destroyer and try to get more bodies into the Tyrants. Even 1 More Tyrant would be a bit better than a Single Las Destroyer, imo. If you can somehow fit 1 extra rapier in, then cool. But as is, its only 1 Shot. Might as well invest it into another Tyrant who can shoot 2 Missiles + Combi-Bolter.

 

If you're paying for the Shrapnel bolts on the Medusas, I might skip out on it since you're more likely to use the Siege Breakers Nuncio-Vos and/or Perturabos Cognis Signum to draw LoS for them to keep them out of immediate danger.

 

For the Fire Raptor, since we all get Reaper Autocannons, if you can fit them in instead of the Shrapnel Bolts, the threat range of the vehicle would increase due to S7 Shooting.

 

Other than that, looks fair. If you ever boost the points up to 3k, just add in as many Tyrants as 500 Points will let you.
