Hmm, yeah, when I look at the break points. Wow, I mean, just looking at Gold rules, am I missing something?
It says bp is 17 + model for the Iron Breaker C. If I count the number of infantry that is (1 warlord + 9 combat stands + 2 HG + berserker detachment (5 stands) -> 1+9+2+5 = 17).
So....that means you have to wipe them all out? I must be missing something? If not, then yeah, I can see why that company card is valuable.
I mean, no other company card containing infantry is that strong (except the IB Helbore company)?
Is it the same in 2nd edition? Sounds almost to good to be true
There's a little typo in your calculation - it should be 1+9+2+10 = 23 (2 squads of 5 Berserkers).
In 2nd the break point is a straight 18 for the Iron Breakers so it meant that the Leviathan being destroyed is equivalent to taking out a single infantry stand!
Even though you don't have to completely wipe them out, when you face them, it definitely feels like it! It's that Stubborn rule where the Break Points are 75% rather than the usual 50% that really makes a difference and means that they can take terrible punishment without handing over VPs to the opponent. Again, when you go out of your way to ram your forces full of companies as I do, the frustration factor for an opponent can be pretty demoralising!
