Of Iron Warriors

Ok lets talk Iron Warriors.  Iron Warriors were my first army back in the fall of 2000.  This was in third edition of Warhammer 40k, before the Index Astartes articles.  The only background I had to go was what was in the first Chaos codex for third edition.  That really was not that much.  I had a little of everything in that army: marines, tanks, and daemons.  It was fun but had no focus.

When the Iron Warriors Index Astartes article came out I found out a lot more about my army's background.  All my squad were either 6 or 9 man squads since the Iron Warriors perfered multiples and I no longer used daemons.  Best of all I now had a Basilisk in my army.  It would almost always get deployed in one of my corners and I got real good at range guessing fast.  One of its best moments was during a game against Dark Eldar where on the first turn I took out about half of there army with a well placed shot.  It obliterated a Raider with an Archon and his squad, destroyed another Raider and half its squad, and 2 jet bikes.  After that it was just a matter of gunning down the rest of the army.  I can see why Iron Warriors got such a bad reputation, but Imperial Guard could bring 3 times the fire power.

Then the 3.5 codex was released.  I had to make a few more changes to my army.  The basilisk was gone but now we got defilers.  I also lost beserkers but they were replaced with furios charge marines.  My army now was a focused ranged army with one or two melee squads for support.  I played a few fourth edition games with but finished college before their fourth edition codex came out.  Moving back to my hometown moved me away from gaming groups so I have been just collecting since then.

My army's theme now is based around that shown in  the Storm of Iron novel.  In that book there was one warsmith and three lieutenant in command of his own force.  My army is the 21st Grand Company, has 1 warsmith and 6 lieutenants divided into 3 different companies, each with their own specialty.  One company is the seige specialist, so a lot of tank and bunker busting squads.  A company that specializes in melee, to storm breaches in defenses or counter any threats to the ranged squads.  And finally a company that is more balanced.  I had planned this around the current codex but with the new one around the corner somethings are bound to change.
