Warcry/Tactics/Iron Golems

"We Create War!" Hailing from the Realm of Metal, these obnoxiously Norwegian-accented warriors are renowned for the quality of their smithing, believing themselves chosen by Archaon himself to forge arms and armor for the Slaves to Darkness. They also have both Duardin and Ogors. They seem to be the most Classically Chaos of the warbands.

General Tactics

Basically, they are the "Space marines" of War cry. You aren't as good at any one thing, with the exception of Toughness, but you can do a little bit of most things. The goal should be to figure out if you're up against a smashy, or a shooty. If it's shooty? Go in, and punch them. If it's smashy, you stay back to soften them up with Bola hits, and then smash them with the Ogor Breacher. Finish off with the Dominar. You don't play the objective game as well, and you can't keep up, so be prepared to have to wait and camp. Your abilities, in general, hurt like hell, or make you much tougher.
