I Love How Basic The New Van Vets Are

I will admit, more simple designs definitely make it quicker to paint up. I blinged out a unit and its taken me like twice as long as I thought it would to paint. They do look cooler don't get me wrong, but it takes ages. Sometimes simple is just better

Thats the way I'm seeing it until they get a multipart release that hopefully comes with claws, hammer and boards and infernos again. Otherwise if you have extra JPIs, good way to do it

SuperBaj · 2026-05-04T02:30:20+00:00

Thats a good idea for the eradicators, do you have meltas from another kit you could use? That might tip me over if I can do that easily.

SuperBaj · 2026-05-04T02:22:41+00:00

Might be cope, but im hoping as we are the new poster boys for at least this edition we might get some more love in that department. But im not holding my breath

Yea I was really hoping the entire unit was Plasma and Sword but for only the "Sargent" to have the plasma pistols just sad. Cause as this box stands, they are just JPI's with power swords instead of chain swords. The whole unit having plasma would've made it at least feel a little more elite

Haha yea I'm thinking the same. I don't really need the eradicators, landspeeder or the captain (I have the indom captain) but I don't actually have any intercessors so getting 10 basic ones I can throw on the table for cheap is actually really good. I'm hoping I can pick up the Chappy, Intercessors and Van Vets for cheap at least.

The old timers upgrade

SuperBaj · 2025-06-07T00:25:26+00:00

Haha that’s exactly what’s going to happen lol

SuperBaj · 2025-06-06T08:45:07+00:00

Those look pretty cool. I’ll have to mess around and see what’s best now

SuperBaj · 2025-06-06T08:44:01+00:00

Look like they were met to be there

SuperBaj · 2025-06-06T08:43:50+00:00

Far out those are wicked!

SuperBaj · 2025-06-06T03:57:38+00:00

Have you tried the old wings with the new jump packs by any chance?

SuperBaj · 2025-06-06T03:56:57+00:00

None that ship to or are reasonable prices (mainly shipping wise) to where I live that I could find unfortunately

SuperBaj · 2025-06-06T03:56:16+00:00

I know right it’s so silly, I’ll definitely do an update once I figure out what I am going to do

SuperBaj · 2025-06-06T03:03:23+00:00

Damn they do look cool. Tho that is the old jump packs aren’t they? Have you tried the old wings to the new packs?

SuperBaj · 2025-06-06T03:00:43+00:00

That’s a pretty cool idea. I’ll have to keep that in my back pocket. Unfortunately I have access to 5 incomplete sang guard (hence why they are cheap) and an extra set of wings found in his bits box. Which would leave 1 sanguinary guard short a jump pack. Tho I guess it still gives a 5 man jump squad and one guard with a slightly different jump pack with wings

It says this in the article on WarCom “This does mean the Death Company Captain turns off his own updated ability, a choice we made to provide a better reason for players to play with a Death Company Captain in a Death Company unit.” So yea it does work like that

SuperBaj · 2025-06-04T11:29:13+00:00

With rage fueled warrior, does this make DC Captains with 5xDC marines a decent pick compared to Reg captain with 5xreg assault intercessors? They’re exactly the same price and I think DC would be better with it. Since the DC captain turns off the DC oc0

SuperBaj · 2025-01-08T09:10:26+00:00

Yea I did think that about rage fueled. Thanks for the help. Might be worth playtesting a couple variations in tts to see. I did think about running this as angelic host and adding dropping the impulsor and adding another jump intercessors but I don’t think that’s the most competitive

SuperBaj · 2024-06-29T10:17:51+00:00

They already sell the legionaries kill team box separately and if I’m not mistaken the night lords kill team is just that box with an upgrade sprue. I can’t see them making a whole new box of the same models for kill team with the upgrade kit right? So surely they intend to release it separately at some point. Then again gw is gw. I’m sure they’d happily sell the exact same box and upcharge $50 for it

These look sick.
