The Grand Company Grand Plan!
So I have been giving some thought to what my ‘final’ collection will look like. I am shooting for a good 10,000pt force. Now I have spent some time working on how it fits into the fluff for the Iron Warriors and I think I have manged that, based on A)- HH3- Extermination’s description of the Iron Warriors structure and the bits listed In the old Index Astartes I. (Which described them as ’ A tendency towards operating in multiples of three has been noted.”)
=
As such At the Head of my Grand Company I have:
The Warsmith – A Daemon Prince (of a yet undecided god).
He has an attached Council of Advisors, and Body guards that exist outside the structure of the Grand Company. (Well make up ‘his command’)
Bellow the Warsmith we have the 3 Captains, each looking after a branch of the Grand Company.
These ‘Banches’ are know as:
- The 1st Line Company – Made up of the Astartes
- The 2nd Auxiliary Company – Made up of the Humans and Mutants
- The 3rd Armored Century – Made up of the war-machines and tanks of the Dark Mechanicum/Warpsmiths
=
The 1st Line Company is led by the 1st Captain and his body guard of 5 Terminators (with Land Raider Transport). Below him are 3 Platoons of marines each lead by a lieutenant.
The 1st Platoon is composed of
- Lieutenant + 5 Terminators (with Land Raider Transport).
- 10 Marines with Rhino
- 10 Marines with Rhino
- 5 Havocs
- 5 Havocs.
The 2nd Platoon is composed of
- Lieutenant + 5 Chosen (with Rhino).
- 10 Marines with Rhino
- 10 Marines with Rhino
- 5 Havocs
- 5 Havocs.
The 3rd Platoon is composed of
- Lieutenant + 5 Marines (On bikes).
- 10 Marines with Dreadclaw
- 10 Marines with Dreadclaw
- 5 Raptors
- 5 Raptors
=
The 2nd Auxiliary Company is led by the 2nd Captain and his body guard of Disciples. (With attached Chimera Transport)
Below him are 3 Sections of Auxiliary’s each lead by a lieutenant. Also attached to his command is a core of Enforces to keep the Auxiliarys in line.
The 1st Section is composed of 1 infantry platoon consisting of 3 squads of trained men. With 2 attached Chimera Transports
The 2nd section is composed of Mutants, Slaves and Workers... {For my collection I want a 50 strong unit, but in fluff is a very varied section.
The 3rd Section is composed of 6 squads of Veterans and Grenadiers, they have an attachment of 2 Chimera Transports and 3 Valkyries
=
Finally The 3rd Armored Century will be a lot more loosely organized but it will be led by the Chief Warpsmith and his cabal of tecnomancers and servants, and will have 3 sections to it.
The 1st Section will be the Tank Core and will be composed on 6 Leman Russ Battle Tanks and 3 Vindicators/Preds
The 2nd Section will be the Air Core and will be composed of 3 Hell Blades (and may be a bomber of some kind)
The 3rd Section will be the ‘Experiments’- Daemon Engines, Hellbrutes and relic tanks.
