NonExistentOne Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Unfortunately Medusas are a 0-1 option. The main advantage of the RoW is the extra HS unit so you might just be better off dropping it.

Ulrock Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Sorry the Medusa are taken together so it's a group of 2. What would you change after dropping the RoW Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317724-hammer-of-olympia-3k/#findComment-4265561 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonExistentOne Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 From there the sky's the limit. Any preferred units you would like to include? What opponents will you be facing? Playstyle preference? If you drop the RoW, you can do without the Praetor. You have him kitted out for melee but I assume he would join the Tyrant Siege terminators who will want to sit back and missile spam.

Fangbanger Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Also without taking the row you can drop the third tac squad if you wished. However 3 scoring units at 3000 is probably a good idea Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317724-hammer-of-olympia-3k/#findComment-4265603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrock Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 What if I dropped the tac squad dropped the praetor and bumped up the now 2 tactical squads added apothecaries and finally added a plasma predator? Also would Pertubo be better than a typhon ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317724-hammer-of-olympia-3k/#findComment-4265863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Asvaldir Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 For your list, a typhoon is probably better. I love Preturabo's abilities and he's probably one of the best primarchs, but he doesn't fit your list very well. He fits much better in a list with a bunch of terminators and units that can deep strike. With no unit to escort him straight into combat, and only one unit that can deep strike he's kinda wasted. On the other hand you can never go wrong with a typhoon, plus the typhoon is cheaper meaning you may be able to find enough pts for a 2nd predator, which I'd recommend. Just keep the main gun, throw on heavy bolters, and give the plasma pred power of the machine spirit so you can fire at different targets. That way with a 2 predator squadron you'll keep your plasma pred alive longer.

Fangbanger Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Yeah agreed. You need to build a list around perty if you wanna use him Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317724-hammer-of-olympia-3k/#findComment-4266032 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrock Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Ok I re did the list with some changes mentioned. How does it look now? I will prob have my first 30k list coming up this weekend proxying a bunch though.

Fangbanger Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Looks good. I'm not a huge fan of large tac squads out in the open as there is so much that can just ruin their day and me personally, would stick with the 10 man in rhino for objective grabbing. Not a huge fan of the predator and again, if it was me, would put in something else To be fair though, it's a nice all round list that I think ticks a lot of boxes although mass armour 14/flare shields would pose a bit of a problem Think it will be fun though, run it and see Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/317724-hammer-of-olympia-3k/#findComment-4266074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulrock Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Since I'm running lots of vics should I go back to the 3 tacs in rhinos and get the hammer of Olympia ROW? Like I said 30k is new to me so what are some stand out units for iron warriors and how are yoy suppose to play them? I come from flesh tearers and death korps krieg in 40k.

Fangbanger Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Like was said before, if you don't need the 4th heavy slot the r.o.w is a bit of a waste. I too am new to iron warriors and curently play 30k world eaters so I am by no means an expert on them. Their stand out unuts however are the tyrants (which you have a nice squad of) and perterabo who is a pretty decent primarch. They are one of not a handful of legions that have the ability to deep strike terminators whith him in the army and so my list focuses on that along with being able to roll for reserves turn 1 (there's some nice combo stacking here with command rhinos and coms relays...). There is also Golg who when taken as a warlord can take terminators with troops. A lot of people will run iron warriors as a gun line army with a lot of ranged threat and stubborn marines. They where siege masters getting stuck into the worst places for extended periods of time....think medusas and typhons, mortars etc... For that theme (which you have) I think just need to play some games and try some things out. Your list is a solid start if maybe a little vanilla and generic (bar the siege tyrants) but I think think will give you some idea of what is capable of what in 30k. Just remember in a.o.d, only troops can score! And have fun!

Ulrock Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Yeah I usually go with themed list so thats why I have the tyrants typhoon and medusas. Anything I can add to make it more akin to their seige roots but still be competitive?

NonExistentOne Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 The new book will be dropping next month and we will have another RoW (Two per Legion plus new generic ones). The Tyrants and the Medusa are a good base to start with. Supposedly the new IVth RoW is rumored to involve charging into melee through your own bombardments. Should be pretty interesting if you want to wait for that.

Fangbanger Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 That's what I am planning. I have a list idea and will get some safe bits but really excited about having 5 more options!

Ulrock Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Awesome. So this is a good start for that? Should I replace the predators with thud guns or something more template heavy? Maybe a vindicator? I just purchased a sicarian and typhon so wondering what next should be.

Fangbanger Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 It's hard to tell what the new rights will be. Sicaran and typhon will be a good start and as for thudd guns they are good, too good for the points and a pretty bent unit. I hate people bringing them and the scorpious as they are too cheap for what they do. Thudd guns are in the new book so expect a points increase. The typhon has you covered when it comes to Infantry killing pie plates but if you want more Temps, go for Medusa as they can even destroy flair shielded Spartans due to ordinance and barrage at str10... juicy What I am doing and a suggestion to yourself is to just build and paint a model at a time. You have your 2 tanks to crack on with and once they are done you can get some troops and do them. Before you know it February is here and you can then decide to carry on the route you are or go a totally different one all together. At least you have the options without having heavily invested in units you potentially might not use.

Ulrock Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 So I'm playing against salamanders this weekend at 2500. I'm thinking bout dropping the apothecaries, seige tyrants down to 6 total and replacing troops with 3 squads in rhinos. Would that be better than big blobs? Does a mech list fit with the Iron Warriors? It just seems like they background wise are the in the trenches WW1 style guys.

Ulrock Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Played today and straight up tabled my opponent. Seige terminators are crazy. Same with all the template dropping!
