Editing Warcry/Tactics/Iron Golems (section)

==Faction Overview==

The Iron Golems come from the Ferrium Mountains in Chamon, the realm of Metal, and unlike most of the other warbands, their lives are not all about destroying, pillaging and stealing.

They are smiths as well as warriors, and have come to the Bloodwind Spoil to become Archaon’s favorite suppliers of arms and armor.

As warriors, they are also less “chaotic” than the other Chaos warbands. They fight like a well-drilled army, with great discipline and, to a great extent, rather defensively.

They are all about order and control in the service of Chaos. This doesn’t make them the good guys at all, however, as they only respect strength and show no compassion for weakness of any kind.

typically fights:They move in tight ranks, pushing the enemy into a corner and wearing them down with their hammers while withstanding the enemy’s attacks with their armor and shields.

Metal is eternal but flesh is impermanent, unable to reshaped through the sacred foging fires. Enemies who are defeated are taken to the flames, heaped upon great pyres - their armour and weapons melted to become obelisks.They believe that they are chosen to create weapons for Archaon and his numberless hordes, [1a] trading with many Chaos aligned kingdoms who recognise the quality of their work.[1d]


Their ancestors enslaved the Sun Dragon Axrantahos within their mountain and which still is harnessed for its magama blasts that power their forges.

===Pros===
*Cheap, heavy armour: all your fighters have Toughness 4 and your Iron Legionaries have Toughness 5.
*Respectable damage output. There are a lot of fighters with 2/4 and 2/5 damage lines and a solid number of attacks to back it up.
*Diverse array of abilities with high threat potential.
*Great models.

===Cons===
*Slow. You have one fighter that has 3" movement and no real access to any movement abilities outside of the universal '''[Double] Rush'''.
*Good Damage and Strength comes at a lack of Attacks, which statistically is not a good trade.
*A near total lack of ranged ability. This is a melee warband. '''[Double] Throw Bolas''', while better than nothing, uses an entire ability just to give the Golems a chance to do some level of damage from afar.
* Generally regarded as one of the most underpowered warbands. Which is a shame because the models are so cool.
