If anyone reading this doesn't know about Blog Wars, its a great 1 day tournament that encourages friendly gamers to bring friendly lists and friendly games. Alex from From the Fang has been organising them all himself and does a stellar job - there is always great prize support and I've been lucky enough to walk away from most events with either a podium/painting, raffle or spot prize.
As I've said, I will obviously be taking my Iron Warriors, but my personal life has taken over my hobby life recently so I am ashamed to say I wont be taking a very different list to BW (which admittedly did ok...) so this time I wont be entering the painting competition.
The list I am taking is:
HQ | Price | |
1 | Abaddon | 265 |
Troops | ||
10 | CSM | 140 |
10 | VotLW | 10 |
2 | Plasma Guns | 30 |
1 | Rhino | 35 |
1 | Havoc Launcher | 12 |
10 | CSM | 140 |
10 | VotLW | 10 |

1 | Rhino | 35 |
1 | Havoc Launcher | 12 |
12 | Cultists | 58 |
12 | Cultists | 58 |
Elites | ||
3 | Terminators | 95 |
2 | Power Fists | 14 |
1 | Power Sword | - |
1 | Helbrute | 100 |
1 | T/L Lascannon | 25 |
1 | Missile Launcher | 10 |
Heavy | ||
3 | Obliterators | 210 |
3 | Mark of Nurgle | 18 |
3 | VotLW | 9 |
3 | Obliterators | 210 |
3 | Mark of Nurgle | 18 |
3 | VotLW | 9 |
1 | Vindicator | 120 |
1 | Combi-Bolter | 5 |
Fast Attack | ||
1 | Heldrake | 170 |
Hades Autocannon | - | |
Army Total | 1848 |
The main difference between BW 7 and 8 lists is that I have added VotLW where possible, which means I have had to swap out a Heldrake for a cheaper Vindicator. I am hoping the changes to 7th Ed mech might mean that my normally dead-in-T1 Vindi will be a bit more survivable and help getting rid of Terminator squads that I inevitably seem to come up against (that the now semi-nerfed Heldrake really isn't useful against).
Anyway - fingers it goes well - a write-up will follow.
