Well, no reaction from the AC.
That´s a pity, so close to Approved status.

In my opinion, the main obstacle to A-status seems to be the Basilisk formation.
325p for 4 Basilisks at SR 4 is hard to swallow.
How about 300p for 3 Basilisks?

This has been played extensively in New England for at least the five years since the version in this thread came out. The Basilisks are fine at 325 for 4. I never felt that more than two formations worth were useful.

The UK group wouldn't agree with you either, they have them at 275 for 4.

Got a battle report in, Iron Warriors vs. Tau (tournament pack) at 3000 points. We took it to points after three turns of blasting away at each other, and the Iron Warriors came out on top 1375 to 885.

I had a lot of fun with the list as always, and honestly I think it's at a pretty good, balanced point. You get a lot of firepower, but most of it requires you to get up close & personal with your opponent. Most of your units are stuck ground-pounding, and you don't get ablative wounds from demons like the Black Legion list, but I like the list's ability to punch hard in a firefight, and don't underestimate fearless dreadnoughts charging out of drop pods

I'm going to see if I can't get another five battle reports out of the New England & Mid-Atlantic chapters of the Adeptus Ineptus and walk the list a little closer toward approval if possible

And another one for the road to approval, this time Iron Warriors vs. Knight World (3000)

We took it through four turns, and the Iron Warriors won on points, 1298 to 823.

Consistently winning initiative and driving assaults onto the Knights, rather than the other way around, really helped keep the Knight banners on their back foot. The exception were the Errants. I see why Tim opts for melta cannon over battle cannon; if you're playing an opponent who has to get within engagement range, you can engage, firefight, or just flat-out shoot the heck out of your opponent. My problem was probably in spreading the artillery and air strikes around. I wound up using them to try to make it harder for my opponent to activate, and to *maybe* try to get a couple of solid hits in, but beyond the initial concentrated strikes on the broken Paladins, they really didn't do much. The emplacements were clutch for the artillery company though. bouncing repeated Thunderbolt strikes like that really made a difference, even if they still took some suppressing blast markers. Drop-heavy Iron Warriors are definitely viable, especially with Fearless Dreadnoughts coming out of Dreadclaws.
