So I stopped by the hobby shop near my new place last night to try out the 1500 point list for my Iron Warriors and found I need to rethink my list. I played against one of the store owners with his IG list (you can read his battle report here). Moral of last night’s battle: don’t take two Chaos Dreads at 1500 points. These guys did nothing but shoot at each other and make their ‘team’ mates go running the whole game. This is motivating me to take one f the two alternatives I made it the original list. Right now I’m leaning towards the defiler due to his versitility and the fact he doesn’t go crazy. Also I’m going to take Zen’s suggestion and remove both dreads and give my other tanks daemonic possession. So here it is: 1500 CSM list take two:
- Chaos Lord with terminator armor, twin lightning claws and mark of khorne (140 pnts)
- CSM x10 AC w/ power fist and plasma pistol; plasma gun; meltagun; icon of chaos undivided (240 pnts)
- Rhino, extra armor (50 pnts)
- CSM x10 AC w/ power fist and plasma pistol; plasma gun; meltagun; icon of chaos undivided (240 pnts)
- Rhino, extra armor (50 pnts)
- Khorne Berserkers x8 AC w/ power weapon, plasma pistol and melta bomb; 2 plasma pistols (248 pnts)
- Land Raider, daemonic possession (240 pnts)
- Vindicator, daemonic possession, twin linked bolter (145 pnts)
- Defiler, reaper auto cannon, heavy flamer (150 pnts)
Total Points: 1498
Kill Points: 9; Scoring Units: 3; AP 2 weapons: 13, large blasts: 2
In the future I am going to remove the Defiler’s other guns and give him more close combat attacks but I don’t have models for that yet. Also I was advised to remove one of the assault weapons from each of my troop squads and give a longer range, heavy weapon, or at least trade a melta and plasma. This came up from the game last night where I had my meltagun troop squad stuck in a ruin hiding from two Demolishers but nothing to hurt them with. You may have noticed I did switch the two guns, but I don’t have anything but old (and crummy looking) missile launchers right now to try the heavy weapon option. I will have to build and paint the two lascannons I have sitting in my bitz box to try this out.
Thoughts, criticisms and comments welcome!
