Vet-Mech lists use nothing as troops except veterans.

You will need a HQ unit though. Either a CCS, Lord Commissar, or Primaris Psyker will work.

Post your list. Maybe there was something else in it that stuck in his craw.

Agree with this 100%]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2269814.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2269814.page GMT IG troops
Then the *Note at the bottom of P97.

Then the lack of an asterisk for Veteran Squads on P98.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2270929.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2270929.page GMT IG troops http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2272753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2272753.page GMT IG troops
Or let him know that vets are troops now--they used to be a 0-1 elites unit and the fact that they're veterans confuses the crap out of some new players. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2273432.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2273432.page GMT IG troops

Vets are now veterans? Apparently it does confuse some players.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2273914.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2273914.page GMT IG troops

Well, the unit is called a "Veteran Squad" and it is made up of "Veterans"...

So yeah, I would say that Vets are veterans.

Generally, in most armies, units of Veteran troops are Elites choices. We IG players get the cream of the crop(hey, they obviously survived at least 1 battle wearing tin-foil armor and shooting flashlights at the enemy) as a Basic troops choice.

The first game I played in 5th edition, one of the players informed me that I needed to guess a range with my basilisk. That was TWO RULES EDITIONS out of date...

That said, it does seem that there are a lot of 40k players out there who still hold onto out of date ideas, so maybe it's not just the guard...

I agree...

People get confused about:

1. Vets as troops

2. No more armored fist squads

3. Any former guess weapon including Basalisks

4. Ordnance fire from LRBT and variants under the Lumbering Behemoth special rule

5. Two dice pick the highest for penetration rolls for Ordnance weapons. I frequently have to point my opponents to p. 58 and 60 of the rulebook, especially when I'm trying to penetrate vehicle side or rear armor with my Ordnance barrages.

6. Commissars as upgrades rather than ICs.


Did I miss any?

Vets no longer being elites confuses veteran players?!?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2276603.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/336150/2276603.page GMT
