 Ironwing - info needed - 2006/02/28 15:16 Hi guys, im looking for any fluff about ironwing as ive got a crap load of forgeworld tanks (two preds, three rhinos (1 with all the dark angel logos and extra armour ect), one vindicator and one wirlwind). Other than hearing there name on bolter and chainsword ive not found out much about them. Brother Xeres Signing out

 Re:Ironwing - info needed - 2006/03/02 20:34 There is stuff on them in the Fortress of the Unforgiven website. It's unofficial though.

In the old days, the Third Company could mount up and be fully mechanized. They've since changed the fluff for the Dark Angels and the Ironwing disappeared into obscurity.

I'm debating revamping the unofficial fluff to allow any of the Battle Companies to become an Ironwing.

 Re:Ironwing - info needed - 2006/03/03 13:35 I thought the Ironwing was around only when we were a Legion?

 Re:Ironwing - info needed - 2006/03/03 17:54 Most likely.

Unless the 3rd company is now an entirely mechanised force?

 Re:Ironwing - info needed - 2006/03/03 18:24 As I know it. The Ironwing is dead like the Squats. I am running on very sketch info though. Last I heard, Ironwing was the name of the Third Company during the RT Era. I can very possibly be wrong on this.

I wonder if an Ironwing is possible under current 4th Ed. Rules.

 Re:Ironwing - info needed - 2006/03/03 18:27 I've tried looking in the Fortress for references, but the only thing I can find is a set of house rules for them. With the right revolting piety of tone

 Re:Ironwing - info needed - 2006/03/04 14:43 Hi guys, yeah ive read the info at fortress but i just wondered if there was some proper fluff for them and maybe a image of there logo.

I really hope they do bring them back in the dark angel codex coming out at the end of this year. Ill start a thread about this in general though Brother Xeres Signing out

 Re:Ironwing - info needed - 2006/03/06 17:18 They mention them in the painting guide that I have from 2nd edition, but not a whole lot of detail. When I get some time away from work I will post anything I find, but I think it's mostly been covered.

 Re:Ironwing - info needed - 2006/03/06 21:24 thanks guys, right i think ill use the standard DA rules but with these rules self imposed:

-------

1:
no assault squads or scouts.

2:
Every Tactical squad and Command squad must have eather a rhino or razerback

Every terminator squad must have a landraider.

3:
Army must include one techmarine

------

note:
added the techmarine rule because with all the tanks being used, there would be a higher than normal techmarine presence to make sure everything worked perfectly.

Could be fun
