How will the Iron warriors be portrayed in EC? they seem to have the least amount of fluff and are not as stylized as the other CSM's. Will bionics play into their chapter? will we get special vehicles? Will we get forge masters?
The short answer is that we don't know and we haven't seen them in the game yet. We also haven't seen the subfaction specific talents/whatever they're called in this game for the existing subfactions. I definitely disagree on the amount of fluff available. The IW are a common enemy and protagonists in the Black Library books. I've read Siege of Castellax and Storm of Iron. Both are above average for BL books IMO. There's 2 other books in the series with Storm of Iron, but I haven't read them yet. I didn't even know that there were more books starring Honsou until about 2 months ago. The Q&A thread is open if you want to ask the devs about what has been created so far for IW's.

Storm of Iron was madness. Liked it when that cadian officer lady, replaced the khorn guy and no one noticed XD edit Two IW talking to eachother- "hey have you noticed bob hasnt said anything for a week or two?" "Ya but he's crazy with the hacking and the slashing, im glad the gibbering is gone, hes probably fine"
Out of all the chaos factions that I have read about and the ones that have stared in 40k games. I would say that Iron warriors are one of the less chaotic legions they are up there with Alpha legion and Nightlords. What drew me to them was there unrelenting love of war machines, demon engines, trenches, tanks, big guns, and BIGGER GUNS did I mention tanks? THE TACTICS AND INDUSTRY ARE SO REAL and science they are so damn tactical that they liked to actually play warhammer 40k table top against each other to prove TACTICAL SUPERIORITY!!! read "angel exterminatus" Also there ability to resist the urge to start laughing like a mad man and not cutting themselves for demon masters as well as bending over backwards for them. *shock and awe but to answer that question *cough I don't know what they will get there is way too many possibilities, they have done things that honestly eternal crusade will not be able to do this is a challenge they have fielded on more than one occasion multiple titans and are known for using lots of imperial guard tanks as well as the normal chaos tanks. having lots of obliterators and demon infused weapons and vehicles. On an important note lots and lots of cannon fodder. They are also the only ones capable of building a decent fortress/battle fortification that makes any sort of sense. They are also really good at making buildings explode. there is a reason for this... you want to learn about them then read this http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Iron_Warriors
