Russellbogentoff Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Hi everyone, While browsing through the GH, I realised that aside from the nifty Dwarf copters, I have most of the units in the Ironweld Arsenal faction. I usually use a few of them to support my Freeguild with a bit of firepower, but would it be pure madness to take an army made up almost entirely of Ironweld? I realise you would require battle line units from another faction, (freeguild handgunners perhaps?), but would it be viable? Lacking real leadership with a command ability is a definite con, but with copters seizing objectives and the Artillary Detachment battalion potentially allowing some additional shots in the hero phase, it could be worth a go! What do you think? Worth a shot (pun intended), or a bit filthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fartsocks Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I imagine that a quick army which could soak up some of the artillery fire would decimate the crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aezeal Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'd go for the empire formation with handgunners and then as much ironweld as back up as you've got points for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My usual army is the State Troop detachment, though not with so many handgunners! Maybe I'll pick some more up and give it a go. 1 hour ago, Jimbo said: Try it out and see! At the very least it will give me an excuse to pick up a Gyrocopter to play around with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjarni St. Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Going hard on crewed war machines just seems to me like a recipe for frustration at the moment. Any and all ranged units take the crew off in one go, on top of the obvious weakness to mobile units. They also can't reposition easily to sit on top of objectives for you, which is significant in GH scenarios. It's all just a bit underwhelming.

Aezeal Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Ow and consider the gryphhound and hurricanum ofc. They boost all shooting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
