I have been tinkering with this for a while and I'm to test it out over the next couple of months.
The basic list is the Black Legion list which has been altered to better fit the Iron Warriors. The idea of the list is an assaulting IW force (such as in 'Storm of Iron and 'Dead Sky Black Sun') with large numbers of walkers assaulting followed by Vindicators
and artillery.
I had thought of doing an IW SHT variant but have stuck with the decimator for now and have stuck woth the BL titans for now.
I have reduced the number of fast attack options - not really very IW, and removed the death wheel- solely BL unit. Also gone are the daemons.
Added are increased availability of Obliterators, dreadnoughts and defilers - both IW staples, the standard CSM retinue is made more shooty, and various artillery formations.
Initiative 1+
Strategy 5+
As with the Black Legion Character upgrades can only be applied to the Core units of a formation.
One IW Lord Character must be upgraded to a Warsmith Character. This upgrade is free.
