1200 Tournament Iron Warriors Theme

[LinkinparkChaos]

40K Army: Chaos

Hey, so there is a 1200 point tournament coming up in a couple of weeks (interesting point value, I know) and I want to bring a competitive, but fun list. I run Iron Warriors, and I want it to stay along the lines of fluff.

Here is what I am thinking

Hq:
Terminator Lord w dual claws acting as the "Warsmith" - 130

Elite:
Terminator x4 w/ heavy flamer, power fist - 145
Land Raider -220

Troop:
10 CSM w/ 2x plasma, champ with power weapon - 210
Rhino - 35

10 CSM w/ missile launcher - 160

Heavy:
Defiler- 150

Vindicator - 145


So any help to improve the list while staying with fluff would be greatly appreciated...

Notes:
I want to keep the defiler for sure
I would like to take more troop choices
I wouldn't mind taking a different HQ choice
I wouldn't mind scraping the terminators for something else
I do have Obliterators

Thank you

I like it However, I would swap out the Land Raider for say, havocs or obliterators, and I would swap out the Vindicator for a Predator. The Land Raider could buy you a squad of Havocs packing 4 plasma guns and a rhino. Perfect for shredding MEQs. The Predator should take out armour/light vehicles and infiltrators depending on you preference of build

If i drop the land-raider, then i might as well drop the terminators as well unless deep-striking would be a good idea? they could be an expensive, kill whatever is bugging me, unit. And predator with what on it?

[LinkinparkChaos]

also, what about a daemon prince for fluff... does that work

[LinkinparkChaos]

So, Here is my revised list!

After Play-testing deep-striking terminators... I have discovered that I am not too fond of them. Unless they are in a Land-Raider, They are useless to me.

Here is what I am thinking:

Hq:

Iron Warriors Daemon Prince with Wings, Mark of Nurgle - 150

Elite:

Iron Warriors (Forgeworld!) Dreadnought with Plasma Cannon, Close combat arm, heavy flamer - 110

Troop:
10 CSM w/ 2x plasma, champ with power weapon - 210
Rhino w/ havoc launcher - 50

10 CSM w/ missile launcher - 160

Heavy:
Defiler- 150
3x Obliterators - 225
Vindicator - 145

1200.

What do you think?

Prince for Distraction/ taking shots/tank hunting- helping to take enemy objective

Dreadnought for dealing with transports and tough infantry (marines) (Move up along side Defiler, making sure to stay out of a 45" angle of a shot against myself!)

Plasma Squad for storming and taking objective (Move up with Prince)

Missile Squad for holding objective (closer to home)

Defiler for pie plates (Move up with prince)
Vindicator for added pie plates (move up with Prince)
Obliterators for anti-whatever I need

Edit: More troops choices are always nice. What I could do, is make 2 : 6 man squads of plague marines, 2 meltas each, in a rhino? Or just more normal marines, or just some plague marines. Whatever, More troops choices would be nice

[LinkinparkChaos]

Or, I could do something like This

Hq:

Iron Warriors Daemon Prince with Wings, Mark of Nurgle - 150

Elite:

Iron Warriors (Forgeworld!) Dreadnought with Plasma Cannon, Close combat arm - 105

Troop:
10 CSM w/ 2x plasma, champ with power weapon - 210
Rhino w/ havoc launcher - 50

10 CSM w/ missile launcher - 160

5x plague Marines, 2x melta, champ with fist - 175
Rhino - 35

Heavy:
Predator - Lascannon Sponsons and twin-linked lascannon -165
Obliterator - 75
Obliterator - 75

1200.

It gives me another troop choice, and a hard-to-kill one at that. They can be anti-tank, or at-least open up a transport for the prince to eat up.

[Sqallum]

I like them both. However, on list 2 swap out the Fist for another Plague Marine, as they should not be in combat Overall, I like List 1 the most. Good luck and do well

[LinkinparkChaos]

Awesome, Thanks! I like the first list myself, more pie-plates are always fun!

[LinkinparkChaos]

So I dont think that the dred will arrive on time for me to model it and paint it before the tournament

So here is my new list

Tournament List Without Dreadnought – 1200

Hq: Winged Daemon Prince of Khorne – 140

Troop:
8 Khorne Berzerkers, Skull champ with fist – 208
Rhino – 35
7 plague marines, 2 x melta, champion with power fist– 221
Rhino – 35
10 CSM w/ Missile Launcher – 160

Heavy:
Defiler - 150
Obliterator x2 -150
Dakka pred (heavy bolters and autocannon) - 100


1199

Any thoughts?
