Nekro83 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) HI! I am planning to add some assault units to my IW army. Till now i focused on firepower so i have 2 havoc squads, a couple of deredeo a leviathan and 3 basilisks, plus a couple of terminator squads. I am thinking to add some berzerkers because i like them and think they can be quite fluffy... the question is...i have about 550 points for them...and i came up with two possible solutions: 1) 2x8 berzerkers units + 2x dreadclaw drop pods 2) 1x10 berzerkers unit + landraider Any suggestion? Is it good to equip them with both chainaxe and chaisword?

grimsanity Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I have 2 squads of 10 in rhinos with Khârn. I run them up and drop them off and let them go wild. I equip them with axes and swords it's alot of attacks (and you do it twice or 3 times if you use the points). They been worth it for me.

swordofmandulis Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I am doing 2 x 10 and 1 x 9 with Khârn, appreciate you wont run Khârn if its IW. having the additional chainsword is well worth it once you factor in fighting twice.

Commissar K. Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 As above, Berzerkers work. What is cool is that 10 do enough work in a Dreadclaw to really not forcefully bother with Khârn or other characters, but offcourse you can if you want to!Blood for the Bloodgod!

Nekro83 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Not going to use Khârn..they will be iron warriors assaulters..so are drwadclaw worthy? I also could embark them on rhinos of course...but will they arrive on target?

OPTIMVSCHRISTVS Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Stick them in a Dreadclaw with a Sorcerer, pretty much guarantees they'll make it into combat.

Sgt. Blank Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Not going to use Khârn..they will be iron warriors assaulters..so are drwadclaw worthy? I also could embark them on rhinos of course...but will they arrive on target? I use Rhinos for my Worldeaters and my Berserkers have made it to assault in all 8 games I've played in this edition. Usually at least one unit reaches by turn 2 and kills whatever they get to. Once that happens, though, they tend to draw a lot of fire and power armor isn't tough enough to ignore it all. I've been looking at drop pods as well and my main hesitation is that, while its the best way to get a first turn assault available, most people I've played against in the past couple months have been savvy enough about deep strike assault and deployed accordingly. That, combined with the fact I own the Rhinos already and they cost fewer points has stopped me so far.

Nekro83 Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 What about a single 10 men unit in a land raider? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343107-adding-berzerkers-to-iw-army/#findComment-4979405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 What about a single 10 men unit in a land raider? I wouldn't, a Land Raider really is wasted as a transport unit, it's better off acting as a bulwark to your forces, blocking line of sight and putting out a lot of firepower.
