Posted about it in the other thread but I guess this is a better one. Here's an update on my soul grinder
Vanguard Veteran WIP. First of 5. Will be lead by the Lord Executioner of the Imperial Fists. I used to give no more than a passing glance at Vanguard due to their grossly expensive points cost for upgrades...but this edition, GW thankfully slashed their equipment upgrade point costs by 66%, so they are a must have for me now: P.S that red ink in the background dates me as a hobbyist
Incredible. Very nice man. Can I perhaps see it from the back? Like see all the Exhaust pipes and what not. I could need some inspiration, lol. I'm doing something like that for a Warboss.
Yea, I had Vanguard Vets because Raven Guard. Now that the new dex has dropped I'm getting a second squad because the discounts basically pay for half the squad
Logic would dictate me getting Strenguard instead, now that IF Sternguard can reroll 1's making, their Vengeance rounds absolutely obscene, but I honestly don't need them. My army has tons of bolters as is - 3 full Tactical Squads and a full Scout Squad - but is missing a fast, hard-hitting counter attack unit. Vanguard are perfect for this, now that they are pleasantly affordable. Sure they can't reroll H0W like RG, but they do get to reroll 1's with their bolt pistols!
Crimson Fist Sternguard are revolting. I've always wanted an Imperial Fist army but I've never actually finished anything when I started. I have a kit bashed captain sitting around that was never finished.
Yes, Crimson Fists Sternguard are by far the best Sternguard in the game, no question. A must have for any CF player now!! The biggest challenge with an IF is of course the yellow colour scheme. Their rules are very solid, so long as you don't mind being a little on the dakka end of things.
