Brother Crimson Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Since the new edition I had a lot of trouble to find the use of sternguard veterans. It seems in every niche they could play they are outclassed by another unit. For Heavy weapons: devastators are less expensive and allow to use more heavy weapons and signum. For their special boltgun: Intercessor have similar loadout, with an extra wound per model. For combi / special weapons: Company veteran have access to jump pack, melee weapons and shield. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucumon Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 They can ride in less expensive taxis than Intercessors... and the extra -1 AP. Plus drop pods. I've had a lot of fun dumping out 10 Sternguard and lighting stuff up with -2 AP.... usually only when I've run out of HS slots though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Mike Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 There's a few of these threads for 8th around already, I'd look to those for wisdom and guidance: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/338383-blood-angels-sternguard-vets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Stormbolters are a hell of a lot of dakka, and you get to take a TLAC Razor to ferry them around, which is one of the most points efficient weapons platforms SM have. I think they’re better than Intercessors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
