Pay attention on one thing, If you'll join the Chap with one Vanguard Veterans unit they lost the Heroic Intervention possibility.

Every molecule will be useful

True they do. but they gain ability to reroll failed rolls to hit.

And with 4 attacks on the charge that's a lot of hits....

and you could get 3 attacks on the charge from assault marines which cost half as much...

But then this wouldn't be a VETERAN army lol.

Honestly yes if I was going to actually play this list i'd take assault marines every time cause basically having to pay for jump packs sucks.

But this is a fluffy list!

No more pesky sternguard! And vanguard can arrive via deep strike (thunderhawk drop).

Dreadnoughts take out enemy armour along with Tac Squads and Vanguard strike with........88 attacks in one turn!!!

wow, no offence but thats an impressivly crappy army...1100pts into two units that are as durable as standard marines and that will have to withstand a round of shooting before the can do ANYTHING...

I see your point. grrrrrrrrrrr.

I like the idea of a chaplain with a vanguard squad though! they'd decimate anything!

So you've basically given up on the whole verterans thing and are just taking the over priced Vanguard for no apparent reason...

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Yes my Colour is Black but not for the reasons stated mainly just because it's slimming... http://imperiusdominatus.blogspot.com

Sternguard are back! and they'll find cover, not drive around in pesky rhinos.
Tac squads have power fists so they don't die so easily when assaulted. and T-L lascannon takes care of heavies coming for them.
Vanguard can deep strike in near enemy armour and take out using melta bombs.

Chaplain goes with normal assault squad to rampage through infantry lines.
