Dear All I am a little curious as to what loadout people think to use on Assault Terminators and Vanguard Vets. in terms of Storm Shield after the balance dataslate... I mean I see no use of it on Captains in Terminator armour anymore due to the SS has not effect what so ever, and I am properly going to consider Assualt Terminators with LC, but Vanguard Vets... I am a little usure... What are your considering? Kind regards -
I have a Watch Sergeant model left over from when I built him back in 7th Edition. Back then having a Storm Shield on a unit character like this was useful as he could accept challenges that would otherwise prevent your Independent Character/Black Shield from being able to deal a lot of damage to the opponent's troops and have a chance of surviving. But in 8th, I'm finding it difficult to find a decent reason to arm him as such. The only thing I can see having a Storm Shield useful for, tanking hits that would otherwise kill a Deathwatch Veteran outright, seems better served on a non-Watch Sergeant model as if I fail the save then I lose his enhanced Leadership and Attacks. The model itself has a magnetised shoulder on the other arm, so I can arm it with anything else. But is there any point in taking a Storm Shield on a Watch Sergeant in 8th Edition?
