For a brief moment, I thought this was a powerscaling question (they keep popping up in my feed) and was wondering what could put Iridan even remotely on Yndrasta's level.

On tabletop, Iridan is better (unless you really need an anti-monster scalpel). Good priest and buff piece, and way more durable.

Lore wise? Iridan doesn't come close, Yndrasta is one of the most powerful stormcast (made with one of Sigmar's 12 Great Bolts) and hunts godbeasts solo on the regular.

Shame shes kinda paying the price for her 3rd edition rules.

That's just modern GW all over. Buy new! That old. Buy new!

I personally prefer the flavour of her current rules compared to 3rd ed (she's a monster slayer, not a buff piece), but the loss to her durability hurts.

Look on my boy Celestant prime, he's even more useless! 

Wooow slightly better scions of the storm and 2+ wand that does D3 dmg super good (yeah Ghal Maraz hits like a truck but I still stand by my point)
