Iron Warriors + Mechanicum Allies

[burninhello]

A 3,000 point Iron warrior list. Fluff wise it's a force dedicated to assaulting fortresses. Praetor hangs out with the Calix, magos hangs out with Cavas, Siege breaker hangs out with tyrants. Apothecaries with two tac squads and Iron havocs. List should be pretty tough, but I suspect WS5, 2+/4++ Elite melee will give me trouble. I have melee dread to counter other dreads.

I think it looks good but you severely lack Line and ground troops. Do you need both Tyrants and Iron Havocs?

-Any reason why you have power axes and not grav maces on your sergeants?

I know nothing about mech excect they have really cool looking big guys and really slick looking medium sized guys so I cant really help you.

I have 3 line units. 2x15 man tac squads and the 4 man thallax. Thallax are amazing at grabbing objectives. I could add another unit of thallax or a unit of breachers possibly. 

 

Both havocs and tyrants are excellent at shooting in general and have augary scanners. Havocs are there to kill vehicles and ping stuff. Of the two I could probably lose the havocs. 

 

I usually find seargents die in a sarge vs sarge fight, so the axe gives me AP2 attacks. Or I fail a 2+ armor save tanking shooting. If a dread hits the squad they're SoL anyway. Could be useful for lighter vehicles.

 

The thanatars are both super frigging tough. One has a big plasma cannon, the other has a super lascannon. Magos babysits the mobile artillery, and thallax just run around and do whatever I need (as long as it's not killing stuff)
