Hi everyone,
I was just wondering, do you guys use vox casters or Veteran Sergeants to increase your squards leadership? I was thinking about using vox casters witth a master vox in my HQ but it gets a bit expensive that way. An alternative I though was to upgrade the sergeants to veteran status. This has the advantage of giving him leadership 8, 1 extra attack and access to the inperial armour. The down side would be not being able to take advantage of my heroic officers leadership 9.
What does everyone think? Vox casters or veteran Sergenats? Thanks

honestly i have no idea, right now im trying out a list with no vet sarges in the infantry platoons, but with the voxes. I have a Commissar in my HQ and thats why I thought the vox-system might be more valueable. Plus it gets a little expensive with the vet sarges in the long run, unless all youre giving them is like a bolt pistol from the armory. my advice would be to try either way and see how it works, thats what im in the process of doing, though I really need to find a game soon, theres no one around to play anymore. Im hoping here in the next few weeks to meet up with my cron buddy and have a go. That should be fun.

It's pretty simple math.
Vox Casters cost X points, but require an investment of 4X points for the Master Vox.
Veteran Sergeants cost X+1 points.
So, as long as YX+4X < Y(X+1) {where Y is the number of units}
Or, in easier terms, as long as the total +1 points from the Vsarge route add up to less than the cost of a Master Vox, the Sergeants are cheaper. So, unless you have a really big army (200 infantry or so) the cost of the Master Vox isn't worthwhile

I use a "small" network with my SO and upgrade most of the Sgts. to vets.

I used to use the vox network but found that the points really don't meet the cost to me, instead i went to close order drill and tried to keep an officer or jo fairly close to the squads and use a vet sgt.on the flip side i give the vet sgt a bolter just for the extra little bit of firepower.hope that helps =)
