Charlo Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Mind is ablaze with ideas from the new book. Haven't really touched the Sanguine Vision in 8th but my faith has certainly been renewed. Considering some Intercessors mainly for Vets/ DC but shame pile is enough currently anyway ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/399/#findComment-5439243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 (edited) 10 veteran intercessors in a repulsor just seems awesome. With auto bolt rifles, that's 30 shots, if they assault in like turn 3, then they're getting what, 5A each? Even just walking them upfield seems ok, behind a screen of incursors. Advance 8-13" per turn, shoot at 24. Throw in a captain and Lt for funsies, then assault.

Dont-Be-Haten Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Speaking of Veterans. I'm planning on picking up some Vanguard Veterans for more than just kitbashing and bits. The question is; should I run them in a squad of 5 or 6+?I'm leaning towards all storm shield + thunder hammers. But I wouldn't be opposed to a 2:1 Thunder Hammer to Chain sword ratio just to get those sweet extra attacks//ablative wounds. Thoughts?

But I wouldn't be opposed to a 2:1 Thunder Hammer to Chain sword ratio just to get those sweet extra attacks//ablative wounds. Thoughts? I’m just waiting on some magnets to build a 10 men squad, which will be the size I’ll field them in. You can check out the “Unit of the week” thread for VanVets, but right here I’d say go with fists instead of hammers. You can field more of them, which will even out the flat 3 damage eventually. Storm Shields are a must in smaller squads especially, in larger ones you’ll probably need 1-2 guys just with chainswords and shields to soak up big hits before they get to the expensive models.

Charlo Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 10 in a Repulsor (or a few less and you pop in a character) seems like a solid block to hang back then just bully something later in the game. Hell, I think 5 and a Character in an Impulsor adds more than enough if points are at a premium. Unleash Rage Librarian or just a captain might be the best choices in that case. 6A each, 7 on the Sarge with the cool weapon (Axe?) would be mega.

Aka can one build Incursors and las-fusil Eliminators from it? As others have said, it's just the shadowspear stuff. But it's the only way to get suppressors which are... odd to look at but reasonably good rules wise. Bolter eliminators are pretty good post codex/supplement. Infiltrators serve a purpose but arent fab. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/399/#findComment-5439919 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order of Baal? can anyone confirm if the StartvCollecting: Vanguard Space Marines box is the full kits or just easy build? Aka can one build Incursors and las-fusil Eliminators from it? They're not "easy to build" as in push fit, but they are mono pose. They are not full kits, so you cant make incursors, las fusils, etc. Panzer 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297201-ba-today/page/399/#findComment-5439948 Share on other sites More sharing options...
