2k on the nose.

 

I've gone WS with Spearpoint Task Force, and put the last DP into Gauntlet Task Force to boost the transport mounted units. I realised this locks me into 2 Recon Detachments, and I'd rather have the flexibility of choosing. So Ironstorm will do the trick, some nice reroll buffs for the vehicles, and a 5+ inv for my main source of anti-tank is useful.

 

Suboden and Kor'Sarro and their squads roll around wrecking elite squads and characters.

 

The Librarian uses Force Dome to protect the Rhino Intercessors while they grab/hold a key Objective, the Impulsor (Razorback) Intercessors go after side objectives.

 

Big Outrider squad hits any big troop squads with twin bolters and charges.

 

The Lancer and Melta ATV (and the LR's lascannons, in between ferrying Kor'Sarro's squad) hunt enemy armour.

 

VanVets with Chappy and the Gat ATV go after smaller squads (home objective holders or backfield heavies)

 

Land Speeder likewise uses speed to pick on opportunity targets and grab last minute objectives.

 

Thoughts welcome!

Another, more specific question, now that I've got my Codex and loaded it into the app...

 

Regarding the VanVets, the list says 'All models in this unit can each have their Heavy Bolt Pistol replaced with 1 Combat Shield.'

 

I assumed 'all' meant 'all or none'.

 

But the app is letting me give plasma pistols to 2 (3 including the Sgt) and then swap the bolt pistols on the last 2 for shields. Meaning I get:

 

Sgt with Plasma Pistol, Relic Blade

2 Vets with Plasma Pistol and MC Power Weapon

2 Vets with Combat Shield and MC Power Weapon

 

The list has a green tick, showing there aren't any illegal choices, so I'm assuming it's allowed?

 

Edit: If so, I'm happy. I like the idea of making the squad loadout a bit more individualised, feels right for veterans?

It may get fixed in an update, but that's how Vanguard Vets have worked in the past so I would lean on that being right.
