jbaeza94 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Hey guys, so I recently got a really sweet deal on shadow force solaq box set that I simply could not pass up (price of the 2 vets purchased separately!). I plan on using the sternguard vets as company vets, the captain as an alternate captain, or maybe the company champion, land speeder for land speeder things, but I can't find a suitable spot for the vanguard vets. I already have 10 assault marines, and I'm not in a dire need of cc weapons. Where would you guys try to incorporate these guys?

Solrac Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Paint up a couple of Sergeants for your assault squads with different weapon options if you don't like to magnetise. The extra bling on the Vanguard Vets would make them stand out.

twopounder Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Dark Angels don't like laurels and flashy honors. There are still several things you can do with them. Look for assault formations if there are any non-DA forces Convert them to veterans and mix and match with DA bits Convert them to the legion of the damned formation Convert them to a librarius conclave Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319715-vanguard-veterans-in-da/#findComment-4319268 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Librarius Cónclave sounds interesting. What's the model count for That? I also like the idea for sgts. I think I'd add normal packs for dynamically posed sgts in my army Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319715-vanguard-veterans-in-da/#findComment-4319301 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd add normal packs for dynamically posed sgts in my army Ezekial and 1 - 4 librarians. Unfortunately we aren't broken like the ultramarines who have the option of 1 - 5 librarians, of which may be tigerius :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319715-vanguard-veterans-in-da/#findComment-4319302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaeza94 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think zeke+2 would be nice. Maybe I could find some grey knight backs for the psychic hood. Combine these guys with angelus boltes from the BA and I think they'll be some unique looking characters Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319715-vanguard-veterans-in-da/#findComment-4319328 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather take 5 librarians on bikes in my Ravenwing army, but beggars can't be choosers I guess.

jbaeza94 Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 On the subject of the conclave, I play mostly greenwing, but at what point limit do you think they're excellent?

twopounder Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 On the subject of the conclave, I play mostly greenwing, but at what point limit do you think they're excellent? It really depends. Tau are impotent against them, so a few of them in a 1000 point game can be effective. Against things like seer councils, they give you the boost to dispel rolls that you really need and tend to match well in points. Typically though, I wouldn't even think about taking a full 5 in anything less than 1500 points. Rank 2 librarians add up in points very fast. Typically, 2500 points is needed to really take advantage of that many librarians. You want around 500 points of models for each one to support (especially for divination).

SnakeChisler Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 It depends on your opponent and the type of lists he fetches The Snap Fire Power & Mind wipe work better against targets that Have a lot of points sunk into them my friend who plays Necrons has so far failed to dispel anything aimed from multiple games and has seen his Wraith Star continuously having to hit on 5's and second even though they have whip coils also force against Necrons is equally bad news. Another match up saw an Imperial knight unable to use its Battle Cannon for the entire game We see more formations with Vehicles & multiple MC's where the snap fire power is simply game changing and mind worm is an MC's worst Nightmare Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/319715-vanguard-veterans-in-da/#findComment-4319415 Share on other sites More sharing options...
