Vanguard veteran squad

Recommended Posts

The vanguard veteran squad is only available in codex space marines. Dark Angels armies using codex dark angels don't get the option. Although you could just paint them the same as the rest of the powered armored marines in your army and build an army list entirely from codex: SM and use all of its rules. Just don't mix and match rules from the codex's and you should be ok with most people. For example no deathwing assault rules or sammy on jetbike if the army has vanguard veterans in it.

 

You could also use the vanguard vets as company vets as they can take I think just about all of the same wargear.

Yep, company vets can best represent Vanguard, without the jump packs, but then a land raider laden with these led by Azrael make for an awesome hard hitting unit!! Lotsa attacks with a 4+ inv all round - nice!

 

The combat options are awesome, especially if you go for the power weapon, storm shield combo :D

 

Company vets can make sub-standard Sternguard as well, but the lack of special ammo hurts.

Or just run them as a standard 5 man assault squad (or use them to augment other assault marines squads). I don't know how tough tournis are about it, but if you just use the relic blade one as the sarge and say he has the PW, I'm sure you can say the other PW marines are simply chain swords. I see no problem with that in friendly games.

 

Or cut them off and actually put chain swords in their place. From the look of it, only two other than the sarge have PWs anyway. Any only two have plasma pistols which 2 assault marines can take per the dex.
