Ironclads.


Inspired by my friend Adam's 6 Dreadnought list I thought I'd have a go at something along the same lines. This will be the first thing I build when I'm finally employed again and am allowed to spend money on what my girlfriend calls 'non-essentials', lol.

TOTAL - 1825

Not sure what to spend the last 25 points on.

16 Kill Points (Kill Points are still the 1 thing that ruins the otherwise brilliant 5th Ed. for me, stupid lazy mission designers)
Only 3 Scoring units, but I can't see them being high priority targets (well not at first anyway) and I've won objective games with less.

Gives me a 15 HK missile 'Alpha strike' at up to 9 different targets backed up by 6 more Krak Missiles and 3 Lascannons. Then 6 Ironclads (or whatever's survived my opponents retaliation) move/run towards you as fast as they can popping smoke as they go.

At 2000 points I'll add a 4th Razorback Squad as a bit of extra redundancy.

It's not really doable at less than 1750 but I'm not a fan of 1500 point games anyway.

Edit : I've just noticed that the picture on the box has the Ironclad with a Hurricane bolter instead of a Dreadnought Close Combat Arm and realised that I've never seen anybody actually use that war-gear configuration.
