Description
Background
The veterans of a chapters First Company are all skilled warriors, but some specialise in one aspect of warfare or anothe. Vanguard Veterans are one such example. Those veterans that excelled in the assault squads, revelling in the chaos of close combat, may be banded together with other veterans of such talents. Equipped with the finest weapons, these fearsome warriors drive forward into the enemy lines, leaving devastation and death in their wake.
Kit
The 5 man Space Marine Vanguard Veteran Squad are sculpted with a great sense of action and energy and contains a huge variety of weapon options with which to arm the unit.
When building the squad there are 5 different sets of running legs; 5 unique torso fronts; 16 different shoulder pads; 9 heads (8 helmeted, 1 bare); and 5 individual jump packs;
Every member of the squad can be armed with either chainsword and bolt pistol (each individual weapon bears a unique design); there are 4 sets of lightning claws; 4 pairs of thunder hammer and storm shield. The Sergeant has choice of relic blade, power sword, power fist or power axe; and there is also a grav pistol; a plasma pistol; a melta bomb; and a selection of frag and krak grenades.
The Space Marine range is designed so that all of the plastic parts can be swapped between different kits. Depending on how they are assembled, this box set can make hundreds of varieties of Vanguard Veterans. If you want your squad to include alternative shoulder pads, heads or weapons then grab them from any other Space Marine plastic kit and they’ll fit. This allows the opportunity for truly unique collections of miniatures.

Great looking ‘classic’ Space Marine unit. Fun to build & paint with plenty of customising & weapon options on the sprues.
Perfect for use as Death Watch Veterans with jump packs or any of the other Space Marine chapters that allow use of the Assault Jump Pack marines.

Another box that GW didn’t have in stock but The Outpost got delivered to me in matter of days! Great set, would always recommend over standard assault marine kit as so many more options in the box and models have far more character/individuality
