Frame-Up: In "The Heraclitus Effect", the bombs Honsou uses to kill a world are painted in Ultramarines colours, pretty much just out of spite. | |

The Bad Guy Wins | |
| Iron Warriors / int_2e8441c9 | comment |
The Bad Guy Wins: It may be a matter of Popularity Power, but the Iron Warriors seem to be amongst one of the most successful Legions, both in-universe and within the franchise. Still, they retain a pretty low victory rate when pitted against the Space Marines. Storm of Iron was the first novel where Chaos had a clear cut victory. In the 2008 reprint, Graham McNeill says that even the people at Games Workshop were shocked. | |

Mad Scientist | |
| Iron Warriors / int_3517000d | comment |
Mad Scientist: The Iron Warriors are firmly established as being the best engineers within the traitor Legions, particularly as siege engineers, but they seem to be the Legion that has made the most forays into mad science. Their achievements include: the Daemonculaba, which transforms kids into twisted Astartes warriors; and having the most Daemon Engines outside of the Dark Mechanicus. | |

Improvised Weapon | |
| Iron Warriors / int_4de1a4f7 | comment |
Improvised Weapon: Iron Warriors use their entrenching tools as melee weapons so often that some warbands have modified their shape to change it from a shovel you can hit people with to a weapon for enclosed areas that can be used to dig. | |

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul | |
| Iron Warriors / int_533bc7ae | comment |
Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Inverted. Bionics keep most of the Warriors from turning into chaos spawn and insane mutants. This is more a case of "Chaos eats your soul, bionics help you keep it." | |

BadassNormal | |
| Iron Warriors / int_6411dac8 | comment |
Badass Normal: Castellan Vauban, commander of the Citadel and 383rd Jouran Dragoons, was the one to deprive Honsou of his original arm. An ordinary human, albeit one who had been a student of swordplay his entire life, went toe-to-toe with Honsou, and very nearly won. Unfortunately, Honsou lured him in as he was about to deliver the killing blow and then killed him. | |

The Reveal | |
| Iron Warriors / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: The Citadel on Hydra Cordatus is housing a massive stockpile of Space Marine progenoids, which is to be used for future Foundings. To ensure its safety, the Adeptus Mechanicus has been slowly poisoning the regiments stationed there to make sure that no one stays long enough to discover it. | |

Tank Goodness | |

Tank Goodness: Probably the most tank-heavy of all the legions of Chaos. As an example, 108 Vindicator tanks are used in the Siege of Hydra Cordatus, with dozens of others being there as well. | |

Badass Unintentional | |
| Iron Warriors / int_e5da07dd | comment |
Badass Unintentional: Julius Hawke, a known troublemaker, drunkard, and general failure of a Guardsman. Tilts the balance of power on Hydra Cordatus by firing an orbital torpedo into the Iron Warriors' main base, destroying at least three Warlord-class Titans, millions of rounds of ammo, nearly all of the Daemon Engines, and undoing several weeks of work. Also, he managed to kill a Chaos Space Marine, albeit semi-indirectly. | |

Exact Words: The sorcerer in "Storm of Iron" is promised by the Warsmith that he will not be killed. Being turned into a blob of mutated flesh isn't technically killing. | |
