I've been playing around with some options for Company Veterans recently since they are priced the same as Sternguard Veterans, and their upgrades seem more versatile and cheaper then Sternguard.
So far, i'm playing with the idea of running a full 5 man Vet squad with uniform special weapon loadouts (Full Plas, Full Melta) and dropping them down in priority areas with a DP as a sort of suicide squad.
They work out cheaper then sternguard loaded with the equivalent combi-weapon, and can have a cheap SS on top of their special weapon to boot.
Vet w/ Plas = 29 (34 w/ SS)
Stern w/C-Plas = 31 (36 w/ SS)
Vet w/ Melta = 33
Stern w/ C-Melta = 35
Has anyone else ran Company Vets like this? And what role do Sternguard perform now, since I would argue Veterans are better?
