Goatboy’s Warhammer 40K: Vanguard Vet-A-Geddon!

3 Minute Read
Apr 29 2021

Goatboy here with an army list based on the Vanguard Veterans I talked about earlier this week. For the Khan!

I have seen a few friends work heavily on this army and utilizing a Unit to help shore up some offensive abilities.  I say screw that and instead let’s do 3 units, pick some other assault heavy stuff, and just go to infinity with as many cray murder dudes as I can.  With that – I call this army – I am gonna get you… with White Scars.

Goatboy’s Vanguard Vets and Friends – aka Everyone Punches for Freedom

Space Marines Battalion – 0CP
Chapter – White Scars (If you want to assault you got to be able to move all the dang time!)

Veteran Tactics

Let’s put the Vanguard Veterans to the test. Here’s I plan on using the list of jump-pack old-timers.

I am sure you can throw some random relics if you want but this army is just going to do one thing – come at you and punch your business in.  I went with 2 units of Outriders as it gives you some tough and hard hitting units to engage on all fronts, as well as a quick go punch something very fast ability if you need too.  Next, throw in going into the Assault Doctrine Strat and you got a much more heavy punch option to go get a straggler or other small thing.  Plus they are super fast so that’s awesome.

Again for my in depth thoughts on Vanguard Vets, go here. I think with Vanguard Vets you either have parts to make them or you go into a crazy conversion to make them kinda weird Phobos assault option that should be a part of the game.  Or not – I mean GW needs to make more random vehicles that look cool but don’t work too well in 9th.

Or make me a new and super sweet CSM book – pretty please.
