Vanguard Vet best uses and loadouts

I'm contemplating a shooty VV squad featuring a mix of bolt and plasma pistols, with a few stormshields thrown in for good measure.

I thought about creating a gunslinging Vanguard for Deathwatch.

 

2x plasma as a Dark Angel

2x grav as an Iron Hand

2x bolt as an Imperial Fist

2x Inferno as a Blood Angel

2x hand flamer as a Salamander

 

It's probably a silly idea, but would be neat.

 

 

Would be awesome-looking, for sure.

 

What I'm likely going to try is:

Sgt w/ 2 Plasma Pistols

Vet w/ 2 Bolt Pistols

Vet w/ Plasma Pistol and Stormshield

Vet w/ Bolt Pistol and Stormshield

Vet w/ Plasma Pistol and Bolt Pistol

Ran as Sallies

 

It seems like a weird setup, but the intent is to have the squad's offensive and defensive profiles degrade at the same rate.

Yeah I'm all over the cheaper power fists. For 215pts I can have a 10 man squad with 5 Storm Shields (red shirts) and 5 Power Fists. That's pretty good.

 

The Relic Blade is very effective but it's a case of which target you want to attack. I'm aiming for my Vanguard to punch to death just about anything (Victrix Guard) so would prefer the S8.

Well, given that Chapter Approved is now out, and both Plasma Pistols and Storm Shields are now cheaper, perhaps a Jump Captain, with a Plasma Pistol, and a squad of Vanguard with Plasma Pistols, and a mix of Power Weapons or Storm Shields. That is a lot of plasma, very mobile, and supercharged with impunity. That actually might be much better to Deep Strike than to start on the table.
