Here is an Iron Hands list I was considering if I decide to go further than a ZM force with them. I think the amount of armor and Lascannons would be good enough to take out other vehicle heavy lists, but I worry about how few ways of dealing with massed infantry it has.


+++ IH Land Raiders (Warhammer 30,000 - The Horus Heresy) [2500pts] +++

++ The Age of Darkness (Legiones Astartes: Age of Darkness Army List) [2500pts] ++

+ HQ +
Praetor, Legion [210pts]: Cataphractii Terminator Armour, Cyber-familiar, Iron Father, On Foot, Paragon Blade

+ Elites +
Gorgon Terminator Squad [625pts]: Chainfist, 6x Gorgon Terminator, Graviton Gun, 3x Power Fist
. . Gorgon Hammerbearer: Cyber-familiar
. . Spartan Assault Tank, Legion: Quad Lascannon Sponsons, Twin-linked Heavy Bolter

+ Troops +
Tactical Squad, Legion [340pts]: Land Raider Proteus, 9x Tactical Space Marines, Legion
. . Categories: Infantry, Legiones Astartes, Compulsory Troops, Troops
. . Additional Wargear: Bolters, Vexilla, Legion
. . Tactical Sergeant, Legion: Artificer Armour, Power Fist

Sicaran Omega Tank Destroyer [235pts]: Blessed Autosimulacra, Omega Plasma Array

+ Allegiance +
Legion: X: Iron Hands, Loyalist
Rite of War: The Head of the Gorgon

+ Lords of War +
Cerberus Heavy Tank Destroyer, Legion [395pts]: Blessed Autosimulacra

Have you considers taking siege tyrants? Iron Havocs are good units too.

If you're going armor heavy I'd consider taking Orth over a Praetor. Stick him into the LoW for BS 5 tank hunter ordnance shots. You could also run armored breakthrough. HotG is really good though, so if you stick with it consider breachers with melta bombs instead of taxticals and give those Proteus' meltas at the very least. The omega sucks don't take it. Use those points instead to grab some laser destroyer vindicators. Finally instead of the ten man flamer squad, some seekers in a radio equipped proteus would complement your list well. Instead of the Praetor you could take a chaplain (aka iron father) to ride with his gorgon boyfriends (Orth + Chaplain probably costs about the same as your 210pt preator)

Any particular reason you're going with the plasma sicaran and the cerberus?

I am doing a Glaive for my Emperor's Children, so I wanted something different here. The Plasma Sicaran is purely based on how cool it looks.

Safety Factor posted:

If you're worried about infantry, I'd drop the plasma sicaran and see about fitting a couple of plasma predators into the list. Hard to argue with 3 blasts each. They're 130 each without sponsons though so you'd have to figure out something for the additional 25 points.

That is a really good idea. I can just drop a Terminator and make up the difference. I doubt the two extra power axe swings will be a big problem.

Hmm. Replacing my characters is something I hadn't thought about. A Chaplain would fit well, and Orth is also a smart choice. I do tend to avoid the Special Characters but it is definitely a smart idea.

Replacing the Flamer Squad with Seekers is a great idea though.

Plasma Sicaran def looks cool and is decent at anti infantry work, I think the Cerberus is kinda lame though, both rules wise and looks wise.

Yeah if it was D3+1 without the feedback rule it would be better, but with Orth inside of it it's probably one of the toughest LoW out there. AV15, BS5, tank hunters, oh my!

We’re all 30k players here so I assumed the love of big long phalluses was implied. If I’m wrong then everything I know about the hobby is also wrong.

A pair of 'old crows' who'll be leading a sneaky grenadier squad for an upcoming VisV campaign. Not pictured: giant demo packs strapped to their backs. I think I'll give the crow on the right a knife for his hand. The left crow? She's great the way she is I think. Big thanks to Sulecrist who suggested I grab some Escher bits for the head plumes.



I'm so fuckin pumped!

Can't claim credit for any of the cool OSL effects on this guy, but I finished converting a Praetor, and got him started, before my buddy swooped in and made him look awesome.

Now I'm trying to finish up this Primus Medicae so Abaddon and his Justerian boyfriends have access to FNP.

I love Solar Aux so goddamn much, I just wish I could find something to use the Dracosan as in 40k.

Forgeworld resin isn't a dealbreaker but having all those blocks useable in only one of two games kinda is.
