This is all good and well, but I didn't see any provision for NOT
mixing Iron Warriors with a normal Chaos Army. So, unless you're
actually building a separate Iron Warriors army list, the fact
remains that you're giving long-range fire support to any Chaos army
willing to field Iron Warriors units. Considering that they happen to
be the best in CC too, with bonuses going over the already excellent
Chaos SM, I'd be hard pressed to think of a reason NOT to include
this ludicrously overpowered unit. Except a 2000 pts-per-detachment
point cost, as I've already said.
