Iron warriors - Loyalist - 3k list

[montambro]

Hey guys thanks for the comments on my SOH list. Really appreciate the advice.


Got another interesting idea. Have all the models for it and want to try it out.

Fluff: kry valen and his battered veterans were forced to adopt new tactics following the turn of perturabo to the warmasters flag. Battered, bloodied, and with few resources gone are the days of mass artillery, huge defensive ramparts and complex trench networks. Left to die, valen's battle brothers were picked up by a loyalist warhound (world eaters) vessel and a new bond formed. One of vengeance.

So the army is centered on valens small veteran company, that lures in traitor forces and crushes them with footmobile precision havoc fire, and air support formed imperial navy and loyal worldeater fighters.

Thought it would be cool to have a 30k commander (not alpha legion) who uses special operstions doctrine/jtac level tactics because he was forced to evolve and now who uses air power and ambush tactics rather then the typical siege artillery or static defense.
