Iron Warriors Legion Plan

Hi All,

I wanted to take the time today to talk about where I’ve been planning to take my Iron Warriors project; you’ve seen some WIP photos of the army, as well as my finished Tyrants, but I wanted to give you a bit of an idea about what the planned list will contain, and photos of the army so far.

My Iron Warriors as they stood just before the Heresy Doubles Event

My Iron Warriors were always planned as a gaming army; I wanted to force that’s relatively quick for me to paint (being a ‘hobby butterfly’, I find my attention doesn’t linger with a single army for long!), and the generalist nature of the Iron Warrior rule set meant that I wasn’t pushed into any particular style of play.

I’d always planned to take my Iron Warriors to 3000 points and then add Perturabo which would take them to 3500. I’ve gotten all the models I need for the army, and am now working on chipping away at painting them all. This is the list I’ll be working towards:

HQ:

Warsmith

Cataphractii Terminator Armour, Combi-Bolter, Paragon Blade, Grenade Harness & Servo Arm

215 points

Elites:

Contemptor Mortis

Two Kheres Pattern Assault Cannons

Terminator Squad

10 Cataphractii Terminators with Thunder Hammer, 4 Power Fists, 2 Chain Fists, 3 Pairs of Lightning Claws, 5 Combi-Plasmas and 2 Plasma Blasters

Spartan Assault Tank with Armoured Ceramite, Auxiliary Drive and a Flare Shield

865 points

Troops:

Legion Tactical Squad

Sergeant with Artificer Armour and Power Fist

9 Tactical Marines with Additional Close Combat Weapons

Rhino Armoured Transport

205 points

Legion Tactical Squad

Sergeant with Artificer Armour and Power Fist

9 Tactical Marines with Additional Close Combat Weapons

Legion Tactical Squad

9 Tactical Marines with Additional Close Combat Weapons

Rhino Armoured Transport

205 points

Heavy Support:

Iron Havocs

Sergeant with Lascannon

7 Havocs with Lascannons

380 points

Tyrant Siege Terminators

8 Tyrants

445 points

Leviathan Dreadnought

Grav-Flux Bombard, Siege Drill, 2 Heavy Flamers and a Phosphex Launcher

310 points

Lord of War:

The Primarch Perturabo

After Istvaan

490 points

Total 3500 points

  

Since the doubles event, I’ve been working on getting the remainder of my models sprayed up and ready for some more detail – rather than show you lots of pictures of unfinished models here, I’ll leave that for the weekly progress reports. As you can see from the doubles picture, I’ve completed two Legion Tactical Squads, the Contemptor and my Tyrants. I thought I'd show you all a few close ups of some of the units:

Tactical Sergeants

Tyrant Siege Terminators

Contemptor Mortis

And again!

So that's (most of) my painted units so far; I mentioned in my last Weekly Report that I've completed my Warsmith as well as Perturabo and will be posting them up in the coming weeks. Once I've hit the 3500 points mark with this army I'll be taking a little break from the IVth to focus on other projects, but will most likely still chip away at them with units here and there!

Iron Within!
