Theme - In this list I wanted to hold true to what Iron Warriors are supposed to be all about fluff wise while trying to make it as competitive as possible. While most would say the 'ignore cover' trait is the weakest link and I'd be inclined to agree it doesn't come off as particularly strong...I have first hand play test experience with my Imperial Fists army vs Imperial Guard that the trait is actually quite powerful against the right opponent. I decimated astra militarum in 2 turns of shooting and I expect iron warriors can do just as well.
The daemon prince is geared to be increasing to S10 on the charge with extra attacks thanks to his psychic powers. The terminators and sorcerer drop in near the prince with warp time I can guarantee their assault aswell as shooting those meltas within half range. The weaver of fates power is there to be used on any target in the army to grant them a 4+ inv at any given time this is specially useful on the prince and daemon engines whom can regenerate wounds every turn thus increasing their survivability.
The army has an in your face assault component as all the daemon engines rush forward no holding back! Even the defiler is geared for combat everyone regens and lays waste to the opponent.
The havocs support from a distance with cover ignoring firepower. I am very happy with this list if you have a suggestion though I'd be glad to hear it. Perhaps there's some Iron Warriors combo that i missed
