What do you think? Pass or trash?

Almost 😅 done. Still lots of details to finish off. But finally over the hard parts on these.

I like to have a lot of flex in my army - and this doesn’t include chapter locked characters like Caanok and Lysander and Titus and such.

But I think I’ve gone too far in building up my pile of potential!

Hammer of Avernii + Vengeful Host - Purge

Caanok + 10x assault termies w/ TH - deep strike
IFF + 5x Heavy Int + Land Raider
Jump Chaplain + Orksbane + 5x Vanguard Vets
Techmarine + 5x Assault Intercessors
5x Intercessors
Brutalis
Ballistus
Land Raider
5x Scouts
2x Vindicators

Was running this in Ironstorm but frankly Ironstorm strategems suck anyway and I get to boost the termies and the dreads and vets with Strats here and get access to another OOM when Canook shows up.

Just finished

How do you play Ironstorm? How would you improve it?

Coming off 3 wins running very basic Ironstorm detachment and Iron Hands characters. These were my first 3 games of 11th. Running Davastators Wrath into Priority Assets 2 times and last time unstoppable force immovable object. 3rd game was close but I really coached my opponent on some scoring opportunities.

List -
Cannok - 10 assault term
IFF - 5x Heavy intercessors in Land Raider (scout) <- EDIT - can’t legally do this (Ooops guess it was to good to be true)
TM - 5x Assault intercessors
2x vindicator
Brutalis
Ballistus (game 3 swapped for pred and 1 TH termie)
Predator Annihilator (games 1-2)
5x intercessors
5x scouts (infiltrate, then redeploy)
2x 5x JPI

Overall I like the army rule for the 1 reroll per attack. It lets you punch up and is satisfying to turn that miss into a hit on 1 weapon for each squad if it works out. Overall, it’s powerful but still weak in comparison to most other detachments.

Stratagems and CP generation are weak. The only thing you can do to punch up is Mercy is Weakness which is a preconditioned Sus 1 for 2 CP - nearly unusable throughout the game.

I would love to swap out:
- Mercy is Weakness for a straight lethal or sustained selection for any Astartes - I think this is pretty basic - 1 CP
- drop the Ignore modifiers strategem for a Move Through Dense Terrain for vehicles and monsters

What do you think?

I’ve never tried before. Have no idea what looks right from a highlight perspective. Thinking the highlights should be applied to the mid point of the “smoke bubble”

Trying to aim for colored marker smoke and utilizing purple as it is a secondary color in my color scheme.

2nd game of 11th running Iron Hands Ironstorm. Amazing how well this detachment does with 0 strategem support.

Played my first match of 11th Iron Hands Ironstorm Spearhead. Aside from having the worst stratagem support, I was able to win handily. IFF and 5 Heavy Intercessors did some work with their heavy bolt rifles killing eight bounds, slaughter bounds and the dude on the juggernoight.

How are your IH brothers doing so far in 11th?

Just finished this one up last night. Can’t wait to get this on the table.

Trying to finish this guy today.

Did they beat the memes?

Lots of details left to go and the big armor panels but I feel like once of some the “frame” on these dreads the rest is easy.

Just kit bashed up some Primaris Vanguard Vets to hold me over until I get my Armageddon box.

I really enjoyed painting up this Vindicator. I tried all new techniques on weathering the tank and am happy with how it came out. What do you think?

What’s this about Rhinos being dead with 11th disembark changes? Uh oh! Don’t care. I love these things.
