jonjacob Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I'm curious to know what people's thoughts are on a 8th edition style victrix guard. I'm itching to try it out for fluff and gaming reasons In general. How would you guys build such a force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruor Vault Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I would go with Company Veterans equipped with Storm Shields and Power Axes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 My own list is themed on the Victrix Guard, but I've expanded it to include more mundane units that I consider to be reinforcements and expansion for a military organisation acting as the personal army of Guilliman. That said your army looks okay. Not much to say except perhaps lose the surplus HQ. Do you need a Lieutenant, Tigurius AND Sicarius? Alongside Guilliman? The Apothecary could go also if you want to beef up your numbers. Regarding the Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield Veterans; I see what you plan with the Apothecary to being back to life those models but I suggest a rejig is in order. The Theoretical doesn't match the Practical in this sense. Storm Shield spods, when they get a choice between weapons (unlike Terminators) should have either a Chainsword or Bolter. If you really want to fork out upgrades a cheap power sword is understandable. An expensive Thunder Hammer is a definite no-no. Bringing back 1 model on a 4+ won't compensate for the points investment. Especially as usually you'd prefer to put D3 wounds back on a character instead. Still it's a nice theme and looks good so that is a decent reason to do it. Overall I'm impressed with the list. It looks quite dangerous on the table.
