Brother Anders Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I was looking through the new DA section on GW's site, when I came upon the troops section. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...GameStyle=wh40k Does this mean our Company Veterans are now troops?

Tamwulf Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The Vet Kit just has all the Dark Angel bits/robes on it. If you have a bunch of Space Marines laying around, you could just buy the DA Upgrade sprue.

Brother-Captain Sharp Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Or Azrael makes Company Vets troops for some reason. I'm actually more worried about the Sternguard Vets in Elites than the Company Vets in Troops.

Ronin_eX Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 My guess is Sternguard are in there because they fit the description of a shooty Company Vet squad quite well and work as as non-robed Company Vets for those who want them. Company Vets showing up in troops is for people doing all-robed armies with them. Of course something that allows Company Vets to be taken as troops would be interesting (though odd to work our since each company only has one squad of them).

Harleqvin Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Probably because they feel more people are going to just deckout their Tacticals with DA bling. What better way than to show it right there.

Droma Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 The DA vet kit makes robed bolter marines and has a ton of DA bling. If you're making DA tacticals it's the way to go. Stermguard in elites is exactly what Ronin said.

Brother Immolator Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Or could they be getting the sternguard options as rumored? Unlikely I know.

kanan Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 with the FAQ the 5th edition Vets were very good but its nice to have it all in the Codex in the first place... +++ EDIT +++ unless of course you were talking about the Sternguard... in which case there has never been an entry in our codex for them... cheers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/269249-why-do-you-think-vets-are-in-the-troops-section/#findComment-3280172 Share on other sites More sharing options...
