I actually would prefer something completely different. How about taking
the road the other Chaos Legions already have? A Chaos Power Card! The
World Eaters have the Blood Rage, the Thousand Sons have the Vortex of
Tzeench etc. With the other Legions why not give them a special ability
not represented by modifying their stats, but by use of a card? The Iron
Warriors could have "Siege Breaker" as their power where for one turn all
Iron Warriors Marines fighting CC in built-up terrain double their CAF to
+6? It would keep with the current theme of the other Chaos Marine Legions.

B. for me.

A. And only as support. NOT as a company.

F. make a special Iron Warriors ONLY Siege Dreadnought with Heavy Weapons.

None.

Yes to all of these.

>Gorgon type vehicle for mine clearance

Nope. Its an IG unit, let it stay as such.

>Land raider modified for trench crossing

Nope.

>Predator with flamers instead of lascannon

This would be O.K.

>Sabre
>Flamer infantry
>Chaos recruits

I thought we'd vetoed these?

>Veterans
>Scouts (marine style)

Nope. Let the scouts stay as Imperial only.

>Assault engineers (for clearing wire, mines etc.)

ONLY as optional.

Yep.

>Should Iron Warriors be allowed to take generic minion cards as well?
>(cultists, beastmen etc.)

This was my thought for the Chaos Marines. They bring their cannon fodder
along to take the hits for them.

>Should they be allowed to pick specific minion cards too (propably a maximum
>of one card) or only generic??

They aren't devoted to any particular power so they could only take the
generic cards.
