New Primaris Jump Infantry future proofing VVs

[Debauchery101]

After just doing some play testing today I'm really liking VVs mostly armed with 1 claw and 1 chainsword. 2 shields/chainsword and a Powerfist/plasma pistol...which is mostly for rule of cool. But mathwise the 4 claw and 1 chainsword attack rock. I dont think you should take many shields. These guys in 5 man's are great suicide squads. If you have a plan you shouldn't need them to tank. Blade guard vets are so much better at that. Which I like to throw in after I send these guys in. Strats make them stupid hard to remove.

 

Also heres some kitbashed VVs from suppressors ill never use. I have 2 more sets of suppressors to convert. Maybe if we make a huge fit of it GW will release some cool primaris jump infantry like these. I'll try cutting the the legs up for other poses and have the grav-plates flipped back like the kayvaan shrike model. I was thinking of a dude doing a Liu Kang kick or something. My science brainwas thinking that with the grav/repulsor plates folded back it would be a super powerful move. I also was thinking of making some inceptors but shield in 1 hand and a double barrel plasma in the other and I got some spare aggro flamer bits for hoses and power packs

That's some awesome work! Nicely done.

Here's a few more. I have another vanguard sprue floating around somewhere. I wanted to make a full 10 and 2 characters but I don't want to tear up my closet trying to find them lol

 

Here's a watch Captain. The combi melta and relic blade seems to be looking like a nice combo that's fairly cheap and flexible on the board. I added a couple grav chute fins from the reivers kit onto him

 

 

I used some assault Intercessors for these two. I just cut off the legs from the knees down

Ooooh these look so good! Love the dynamic poses and the extra little details. Superbly done brother!

 

I have never been a fan of GWs versions of flying/hovering primaris but seeing yours and how good they can look I might have a go myself one day.

thanks man. I like the this armor style. Its just sad they haven't made normal jump assault troops and the suppressors never were much of choice for me.

Hopefully we will get them eventually. Because its been close to 30 years i have been using the clunky style packs. Need to change it up
