Tried to find a balance between resilience and some CC teeth if they get into combat Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/352665-company-veterans-build-tweaks-wanted/page/2/#findComment-5226584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkyHamHam Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Just posting this here since there was already a relevant discussion going on this topic. My question is: do we believe that in the current Storm Bolter/Chainsword meta build, that replacing chainswords with storm shields have merit? Given the CA2018 point drop. My gut says that losing 4-5 paltry attacks and costing you 8-10 points, is totally worth gaining the 3++ saves. Does anyone have any thoughts, anecdotes, or math on what might be the better option?

Panzer Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'd rather take Stormbolter/Stormshield. Especially with the Bolter Discipline Beta rule now. 3 S4 AP0 melee attacks is just not good as we've seen with Reivers. If you want melee Veterans give them proper power weapons.

Deafbok Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I still need to get some games in with them, but the mix I've decided on is: Sgt - Power Fist and Combi-plasma 3 Veterans with Shields and Combi-plasmas Veteran with Combi-plasma and Power Sword True, it's a lot of points in one basket, and they're probably more akin to faux-Hellblasters than anything else. I'm just wondering whether 3 shields is enough.
