[Archive] Infernal Ironsworn Banners

The Odor:

Can the Infernal Ironsworn take the Razor standard? I am currently a bit confused on how magic banners work next to their Enscrolled Weapon.

gIL^:

Yes They can!

Strength 4 + Weapon +1 = Strength 5 add Razer = -3 armor save

The Odor:

Sweet, thanks. Now to get building…On warriors. My CD is once more on the backburner… Sigh.

gIL^:

Out of interest how big will your ironsworn be?

The Odor:

28, with a Sorcerer Prophet and a BSB.

Nice big unit of deadly death.

gIL^:

A big points sink, How big are the games you play? Anything under 2400 and you might have a population issue :smiley:

The Odor:

Huge points sink. Its for 3000 points.

Yodrin:

Never used IS, to pricy :(. If they had 2 att though, it would be a whole other matter…I think

The Odor:

Probably. They are far from competetive but I play my CDs extremely soft in favor of fluff. I like the idea of elite warriors so here they are, blades gleaming.

Bloodbeard:

I also like playing the army fluffwise and for the epic stories. If I played smart I would make 50 hobgoblins - I won’t yet.

Anyone able to break or destroy that ironsworn unit deserves it. Stubborn, re-rolls and going through armor like a hot knife through butter.

Combine it with breath of hatred and ash storm - they’ll eat anything.

I take two massive units of hobgoblins (45 each) but I try and take fluffy(ish) armies. I think it was mentioned in the White Dwarf Army book that slaves outnumbered the actual Chaos Dwarves hundreds to one. Therefore it makes sense to me that they should form the bulk of the army (at least numbers wise)...

It says the same in the Tamurkhan book. Dwarfs live long and don't get many children - so they can't throw away bodies.

So slaves and hoblins grind the enemy down, and the CDs only march in when the battle is allready won.

But for my own armyfluff, the goblins don't make sense yet.
