Spiritual Liege Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Hey, I did a little 2k list for IW. Using as much GW plastics and converting as I can because of Forge Worlds little trick. I could probably still justify a small purchase since the free shipping and all... Or just something from the far east. But here it goes: +++ New Roster (Warhammer 30,000 - The Horus Heresy) [1995pts] +++ ++ Crusade (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List) [1995pts] ++ + HQ + Centurion [75pts]: Artificer Armour, Bolt Pistol, On Foot . . Consul: Centurion, Legion . . Power Weapon: Power Axe + Elites + Apothecarion Detachment [90pts] . . Apothecary, Legion: None (Infantry, Power Armour), Power Armour . . . . Chainsword or Combat Blade: Combat Blade . . Apothecary, Legion: None (Infantry, Power Armour), Power Armour . . . . Chainsword or Combat Blade: Combat Blade Rapier Weapons Battery, Legion [165pts] . . Rapier Weapons Battery, Legion: Laser Destroyer Array . . Rapier Weapons Battery, Legion: Laser Destroyer Array . . Rapier Weapons Battery, Legion: Laser Destroyer Array + Troops + Tactical Squad, Legion , Compulsory [250pts]: 19x Tactical Space Marines, Legion . . Additional Wargear: Nuncio-vox . . Standard Wargear: Bolters . . Tactical Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Bolter, Melta Bombs Tactical Squad, Legion , Compulsory [250pts]: 19x Tactical Space Marines, Legion . . Additional Wargear: Nuncio-vox . . Standard Wargear: Bolters . . Tactical Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Bolter, Melta Bombs + Heavy Support + Artillery Tank Squadron, Legion [310pts] . . Medusa, Legion: Medusa Siege Gun . . Medusa, Legion: Medusa Siege Gun Iron Havoc Support Squad [460pts]: 9x Iron Havoc, 9x Lascannon . . Iron Havoc Sergeant: Lascannon Predator Strike Armoured Squadron, Legion [395pts]: Squadron Command Tank . . Predator Tank, Legion: Dozer Blade, Lascannon Sponsons, Predator Cannon . . Predator Tank, Legion: Dozer Blade, Lascannon Sponsons, Predator Cannon . . Predator Tank, Legion: Dozer Blade, Lascannon Sponsons, Predator Cannon + Allegiance + Legion and Allegiance: IV: Iron Warriors, Traitor A fluffy list with a strong infantry core and formidable firepower to support my Tacticals. The Rapiers will be done from Kataphron servitors, Medusas from IG basilisks and Predators and all infantry are just the basic plastic kits with some upgrades. I can use all of this except the Medusas in 40k, which is nice. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350147-2000pt-iron-warriors/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Legionnaire Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I actually love it for its simplicity, but you might face problems when it comes to scoring objectives, with only two units of footsloggers (even if they have Apothecaries and are at max size). Also, your HQ needs a refractor field and melta bombs I think. The Havocs are an enormous points sink at this level (being a quarter of your list) in their current configuration.

Spiritual Liege Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Thanks for the input. How would you play Havocs if you'd play them? I'd really like to include them. Would 5 man lascannon team be good or should I switch weapons?

Unknown Legionnaire Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I'd prolly cut down on their unit size, since at this level they're a quarter of your army and would need an Apothecary, give or take, making them even more expensive. Also, I believe, your points on them are slightly off ? I'm getting 475 pts. with Artificer & Augury on the sergeant ? I can clearly see the appeal running them ten strong, and five might get cut down easily. On the other hand, you have a high target saturation of anti-tank, and your opponent will need to handle the twin Meduase and Predator squadron as well, so they might be just fine at first. In the end though, it boils down on the types of games you play and if you need another scoring unit in there or not. Like I said, two isn't much. Running them five strong would net you 200 pts. which you could spend on a cheap scoring unit in a Rhino, and some field / melta bomb on your centurion. First thing to do then once you make it to 2.4k or 2.5k pts. would be to boost the Havocs to unit strength ten again and invest in some Machine Spirits for your Predators, for a squadron with six Lascannons just screams Machine Spirits to me, for those instances when you don't want to fire at a singular target. In the end, it's just personal taste though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350147-2000pt-iron-warriors/#findComment-5163233 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predator Tank, Legion: Dozer Blade, Lascannon Sponsons, Predator Cannon + Allegiance + Legion and Allegiance: IV: Iron Warriors, Traitor I reduced the Havocs to 5 and gave them missiles instead of lascannons, as they are a lot cheaper and give me some anti-air. I also have a 5 man plasma gun squad built so I included them in a Rhino. That also gives me a third troop choice. The Centurion also gets a refractor field and melta bombs. When I expand to 2.500 I intend to get 5 more havocs and those machine spirits you mentioned, up the plasma squad to 10 and probably get a 3rd Medusa. Then at 3k I'll probably include a Knight as who doesn't like huge robots. Edit: I noticed I had 15 points remaining, so I added artificer and augury scanner for the Havoc sergeant.

Unknown Legionnaire Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I'd say give it a try. It certainly seems more well-rounded to me this way. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/350147-2000pt-iron-warriors/#findComment-5163702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
