Paladin777 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 After I finish painting my sanguinary guard I'm going to assemble two boxes of VV's. While I know that I'm going to make at least most of them with LC/SS combo, would anyone recommend me sprinkling any other weapon combos in with them? Maybe couple Fists/hammers in case they get charged by something big and stompy? Or maybe the relic blade on the sarge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) I would probably be tempted by a single TH on the Sarg. They are going to be up close to the enemy so the chances of them tangling with e larger threat is definitely there. Even if you are facing an all-infantry Marine army there are plenty of 3W Terminators and Gravis units about these days. If you are just buy one, I think the extra points on a Hammer rather than a Fist are worth it in case you run into Dreads or similar units with the -1 Damage ability.

Paladin777 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Would you recommend an inferno pistol on the sarge for extra punch for the same price as the storm shield for knocking of more wounds off of hard targets? There would be 18 2+\4++ wounds to chew through before getting to him which I would think should keep him safe enough.

Majkhel Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'd say magnets? ;) It used to be sword&board not that long ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hintzy Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 If you're looking for something to add to the Sergeant other than a Storm Shield, may I suggest the humble Bolt Pistol? For Quake Bolts! Pay 1 CP to make the whole squad WS 2+ essentially, along with anything else attacking the same target. Certainly more net damage than an Inferno Pistol, though I've not bothered to run the math.

It's not a bad idea, although personally I prefer Quake Bolts on my Eliminator Sergeant as he has BS2+ and longer range meaning I am more likely to be able to Fell something with them.

Paladin777 Posted October 12, 2021 Author Share Posted October 12, 2021 Well, I definitely want some eliminators anyway so I think I'll go that route. In the meantime, I think I'll do eight with claws and shields, then a hammer and inferno pistol on two of them. They will actually be the easiest to model as well because the box only comes with four right handed claws and four shields and I don't have extra!

Karhedron Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Your logic is impeccable. You still get 8W behind those 2+/4++ saves and the Serg can now really lay the hurt on any multi-wound models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helias_Tancred Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) On the same topic of Vanguard Vets, I have a ten man squad built since a couple years ago. I do not want to buy additional Vanguard Vet boxes. I'm seeking some feedback on how they're geared? I have a ten man squad and they are: Sergeant: SS and Relic Blade 3 with SS and thunder hammers 2 with SS and chainswords 1 with power axe and inferno pistol 1 with power sword and inferno pistol 2 with dual lightning claws Thoughts? Viable enough to avoid more purchases building the 9th meta SS+LC combo? Edited October 13, 2021 by Helias Tancred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DX Convert from a bolt pistol - you only need to remove the magazine and add some kind of tube to the barrel Helias, I suppose you can use the dual-LC and CS/SS guys in tandem to basically do the same as 4xLC/SS. Add you choice of sergeant (SS/TH or Axe/IP). Edited October 13, 2021 by Majkhel Helias_Tancred 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin777 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) Checked eBay. Looked like I'm just going to use the SG ones after all because that's that's all that's available and I don't feel like buying another box of DC (already got ten and I don't feel the need for more). Five bucks later and I've got the bits I need on order! :) Edited October 17, 2021 by Paladin777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
