Legion + Forgebreaker (joins Terminator Command Squad in Dreadclaw) +++ Legion Command Squad* + Tartaros Terminator Armor, Plasma Blaster, 2x CF, 2x C-Melta TOTAL 3999 pts the idea is to make the most out of Perturabo's special rules (including master of the legion): perturabo gives everbody stubborn, furious charge in the enemy deployment zone (terminators) ironfire reduces scatter around the terminators and makes them fearless, 1st turn Primarch + Command in Dreadclaw drop into enemy deployment zone (homing beacon, nuncio-vox) 20 terminators home in on Perturabo: combi-plasma or melta, charge next turn (chainfists, implacable advance) 3 tanks/6 rapiers lay down barrage (25+d3 small AP3 and 2 big AP2 blasts) Tac Squads advance into midfield via flanks (ignore morale tests from casualities, stubborn, fearless near ironfire) tyrants guard backfield artillery, advance through middle (cover tanks), shoot enemy armor (split fire, night vision) answer to spartan deathstars: chainfists, medusae answer to enemy primarchs: combi-plasma answer to titans: combi-melta, chainfists answer to everything else: phosphex barrage possible allied detachment: militia (more medusae, more corpses to grind), add Tormentor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runefyre Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Looks like a really solid list, though I think that combat blades on the tacticals is a bit of a waste on a unit without a transport. the points saved there would allow you to bulk out the squads a little more. Just my two cents. I think that this list loses steam against alpha strike and flyer heavy armies though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigal Son of Magnus Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Unless Perturabo's Teleport Homer is different from the regular one, he has to drop down a turn before everyone else does if they want to not scatter. Have you considered a Damocles instead? I find them to be must have units in a drop pod list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphariusOmegon108 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 remove two of the phosphex on the centurion. You will probably never use more then one anyway. Remove the combat blades on the tacts and buy yourself a damocles with al those points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Potato of Mankind Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I really want to steal your list. It looks so much fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonExistentOne Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Good looks on this list. Definitely the successor to your other Perturabo led terminator stomp. (4000 pts tho :/) Seems more than likely he backbone of most Ironfire lists will probably be anchored by multiple quad launchers, Medusa, and Scorpius. When they review the points of troops options, I'm hoping Breachers get a good drop like Assault Squads so we can use those for compulsory instead of regular tacs. Thematic and fitting.

Caustic63 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 This list looks nasty, but its also 4000 points so there are a lot of equally nasty tricks that other legions can do at that level involving their Primarchs. Dropping in Perturabo and Terminators first turn has great synergy with the Ironfire Artillery you have backing this up... you are going to start laying down some serious damage right out of the gate on Turn 1. However, since you are so aggressive you can expect to end up in close combat right away where the Ironfire portion of your list is less effective - I believe this is what the Rite of War forces you to give in return for its advantages. All that being said, Perturabo and his squad can teleport so they don't need a Dreadclaw. If you are afraid of them scattering in a way that's unfavourable then take a Damoscles Rhino... in fact I'd say one of these is mandatory in a list like this. The Ironfire Counter from the Barrage attack, the bonus to reserves rolls, and the no Deep Strike scatter bubble are too perfect for this list for you to not take one.
