Best character to run with Bladeguard Veterans?

"More durable" is kinda misleading, since a native 4++ is a lot better than a -1 to hit. The problem is that a lot of the buffs the special characters give are just way better for ICC or a different infantry unit. 

 

 

My comment is 100% correct, as pairing them with Azrael or a Librarian gives the unit a 4+ invul. That's on top of their innate bonus of -1 to hit, and their weapons are indeed superior to what the Bladeguard have.

I'm going cookie cutter, Azrael will most likely be with my hellblasters a lot. I do like the librarian with my ICC giving them for the 4+, I also like the chaplain giving them a +1 on their wound rolls, and [Lethal Hits] given by a Lieutenant with them is also good.

 

The chaplain and lieutenant also go well with the bladeguard veterans, so does a judiciar. Fortunately I recently acquired one, after some bloodshed and pain.

I dont know why you have chosen to single me out, friend.

 

Because you were the one posted 30ish minutes  and most recently before I did?

My apologies. I know this statement may come across as sarcastic, which is not my intent, but I assumed you had read the previous replies from other people where they contributed what they ran with from a variety of other chapters.

Rules interactions under this version may not last long, but if you don't play divergent chapters exclusive units, in exchange for upgraded OATH, you can kitbash your own Adrax(grant full wounding rerolls) or other codex named hero to acquire some extra profit.
