The best thing about the Iron Warriors, though, is how quickly the models paint up. Even assembling the Leviathan went quickly. I used magnets to attach the arm weapons for quick swaps, so the model can be equipped with any two of the Siege Claw, Cyclonic Melta-Lance (!), or Grav-Flux Bombard (!!)
As a side note, it was pointed out at the game how comical the naming conventions are for the Heresy-era Forge World weapons. It's like the designers take one adjective from column A, one from column B, and stick a noun in from column C, and there's your weapon name:

Magnets are fun... and the economy that results from easy swaps is undeniable.
Five missile-launcher equipped MKIV Marines add some flexible firepower...
...while a lascannon squad adds some vehicle-killing capacity.
The Typhon Siege Tank is another key addition to the Iron Warriors contingent.
Assembly was mostly straightforward. The sponson lascannons were a bit tricky but still went together OK.
Decal is from the Iron Warriors transfer set with an added numeral.
The Typhon is a mighty chunk of resin for sure! The main gun itself is ridiculous, but cool-ridiculous, if you know what I mean.

Of course, all new models acquitted themselves admirably as detailed in the battle report!

Iron Without, Iron Within!
Very Nice, Dallas!
Great work on these Dallas, just awesome.
Will be time soon for another 30k "skirmish" on the gaming tables...
Really nice stuff, 30k does have a way of escalating alarmingly quickly I find!
Lovely work. Very evocative of the Horus Heresy.
