Pyro X Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Is there a list of all the things that come on the sprue? I looked on GWs site and they don't got a pic of the sprue nor the list of items. I'm looking for combi weapons atm and didn't know if that would be the best place to get it.

Stercus Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Sternguard veteran sprue carries a total of eight combi-weapons and two storm bolters. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296243-vet-box-set/#findComment-3799316 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Yup the vet box does have great bolters but it's fairly dated I'd second the motion to go with vanguard Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296243-vet-box-set/#findComment-3799365 Share on other sites More sharing options...
aura_enchanted Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Buy the sternguard box or buy the forgeworld combi weapons sprue. You get three of each combI weapon (including grav) in an early bolter pattern complete with their grips in case you want to just attach them to their magnetic waist belts. I miss those bolters that still have their grips on them, makes me sad knowing gw removed them.

SvenONE Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The Dark Angels veteran box is basically the upgrade sprue + robed legs/torso and the sarge sprue that came with the old tactical marine box.

shabbadoo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Dark Angels Veterans Sprue Pics: http://www.highdetailsprues.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/da_veterans_sprue3_back_thumb.jpg http://www.librarium-online.com/forums/attachments/space-marines/10122d1281929551-dark-angels-bitz-question-set2-side2.jpg http://himmelsfeuer.com/blog1/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/Dark_Angels_Sprue.jpg There only three diffent sets of robed legs, with two being repeated. Also, the upper torsos cannot be pivoted unless you chop off the back portion and reposition/replace it. There is also a complete lack of special and combi-weapon options. Sterngaurd Veterans Sprue Pics: http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=177389&d=1377906406 http://www.warseer.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=177388&d=1377906367 http://giftsforgeeks.org.uk/uploads/files/3d%2040k/Space%20Marines/2013/Sprues/Space%20Marine%20sternguard.JPG ALL of the legs and torsos are different, and as you can see there are many weapon options to choose from. The only weapons on the sprues that Dark Angels can not use (for now at least) are the heavy flamer and the grav weapons. Otherwise, there are two of each special weapon, plus two of each type of combi-weapon. You might trade the grav weapons and heavy flamer to vanilla marine players for more special/combi-weapons that you can use (or save them in the event that some Dark Angels squads get acess to these weapons in the next codex). A couple sets of Sternguard Veterans will give you plenty of special/combi-weapons for two units of Company Veterans. I still have ten robed DA Vets, and one box of Sternguard Vets to put together. I will probably end up getting one more box of Sterguard vets and using the Sternguard model bodies (and some of the combi-weapons) for my regular Battle Company Sergeants, and use the other gear on the DA Vet's bodies for my Company Veterans. I may even magnetize the arms on them, such that I can build the unit up in various shooty formations. My other squad is set up for close assult/close combat, which is how I usually field DA Company Vets. Anyways, there are some pics and ideas for you to work from.
