Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marine Army List

Iron Within, Iron Without!

Battle Cry of the Iron Warriors

Forces

The Iron Warriors Chaos Space Marine Army List uses the datasheets from the Iron Warrior Forces section.

Using The Army List

The following army list allows you to field an Iron Warriors army.

Iron Warrior formations come in three types: retinues, siege support formations and siege assault formations. Each retinue you include in the army allows you to field any two siege support formations and any one siege assault formation. Although you can only take a siege support or assault formation if you first take a retinue, they are treated as separate independent formations during the battle and do not have to move around together.

In addition, formations may be given up upgrades but each upgrade may only be taken once per formation. Which upgrades a formation may be given are listed in the Upgrades column. Upgrades are added to the formation and are not a separate formation. Each upgrade that is taken adds to the cost of the formation, as shown on the upgrade chart.

Iron Warrior armies may be supported by Chaos Navy and War Engine formations. Up to a third of the points available to the army may be spent on these formations.

Finally, Iron Warrior Individuals includes the Warsmith special character. Each individual may only be taken once by the army. The rules for using each individual are listed in the Notes column.

Fortified Positions

Fortified positions must be set up after objectives have been placed but before spacecraft and garrisons are set up. The only exception to this are fortified positions that are listed as part of a formation’s units. While they are not actually units, they are set up with the formation they are part of.

Fortified positions may be set up anywhere a vehicle may deploy on the player’s half of the table. They may not be transported. Each group of fortified positions (whether part of a formation or not) must be set up so every piece is within 5cm of another piece from the same group, and so all pieces from the same group form a chain without any gaps of more than 5cm. Additionally, if a group of fortified positions is part of a formation then at least one piece must be within 5cm of a unit from the formation when they are set up.

Once set up, fortified positions may be used by any unit (including enemy units).
