It is not the most successful list to play with I will give you that, but it is damn fun. The Artillery can sit back and pulverise all scoring units (troops) in Age of Darkness games. Perturabo with his Tyrant Siege Terminators can mostly just walk into enemy fire, so do not necessarily need a transport. The Deredo is suited to the Iron Warriors love of big guns philosophy but can be swapped for a Leviathan if against lots of medium to Heavy vehicle sporting opponents.
