<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Vanguard veteran special character"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Vanguard veteran special character WS: 6 BS; 4 S:5 T:4 W: 2 I:5 A:3 LD: 10 SV: 2+
Special gear: Artificer, storm shield, Jump pack, blood chalice, liturgies of blood, blood blade (ap2 +2 strength), bolt pistol.
Special rules; FNP (4+), heroic intervention(removal of prevention with vanguard), IC, pack leader( any squad he has joined gains +1 ws, +1 I), Blood thirsty (Re-roll failed wound, opponents re-roll failed invulnerable save), Rage, Counter charge.

He counts as an upgrade option for the Vanguard Vets and can split away because he is an IC. His points are 250. What do you guys think? Is it balanced points cost? Do you think it will be fun to play this kind of home made character?
Thanks for any response or feed back.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5259081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5259081.page GMT Vanguard veteran special character Id happily play him and I think hes balanced, 250 for only a 2 wound model.. and most importantly, your opponent will take VV, and lets be honest.. they kinda suck, 1st turn assault included.

For a fair way cheaper Id get TH/SS assault terminators and Vulkan. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5259095.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5259095.page GMT Vanguard veteran special character
Anyway, I'd play against it. It really seems slightly underpowered.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5259119.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5259119.page GMT Vanguard veteran special character inv. He does have great offensive stats but really, he can easily die to a single meltagun hit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5262218.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5262218.page GMT Re:Vanguard veteran special character And thanks for all the replies so far.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5263599.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5263599.page GMT Re:Vanguard veteran special character

so a storm shield doesn't count as an invulnerable save?... So what if his price tag was 150 then would that be more balanced?
And thanks for all the replies so far.


Missed the shield, sry.

He still seems a bit expensive, but at 150 he might be a bit undercosted. (compared to a similarly equipped captain)
I feel around 190 would be good, since he still does massacre anything he charges into. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5264442.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5264442.page GMT Re:Vanguard veteran special character BA Special Character and as such will benefit from DoA. He's got 6 S8 AP2 attacks on the charge from Deep Strike and lets his own squad reroll to-hit on the charge. I'd honestly drop the S bonus of the sword, an I5 Power Fist attacking from Deep Strike is crazy good, even if he's pretty fragile (which he isn't, really, a 2+/3++ save goes far, even with two wounds).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5264930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/505924/5264930.page GMT
