Hardened Veterans... in 1500 pts?

[Deleted]

Ok, for those who gave their ideas and tactics for my command squads, owe u like a million for that, ta!

Right, seeing as the commander parts STILL haven't arrived... which isnt funny, ive built a hardened veterans squad.

With shotguns.

Mainly because i converted the shotty's and they look so cool, and thats what i like the idea of (i use scouts with them in space marine army.)

But what else to give them? I have a spare chimera..

What heavy weapons?

Seeing as without a chimera they can infiltrate, should i give them a heavy bolter to boot, or i was thinking an autocannon, to give a little bit of a bash at units?

Is this a good idea, for a 1500 point army?

thanks in advance!

JM, or u guys can call me jess, or kins, or wtever.. lol.. well, nothing bad!

Hai, being a long running 1500 pt player as well, yeah i gotta say putting in hardened veterans r usually a more favourable option, and depending on the enemy types ur facing, i suggest givin' those hard heads an autocannon, yep yu got that part rite, erm...you could try throwing in a melta and two plasmas, and yep shotguns are gold on hardened vets. Trust mi, you cant have enough hardened vets or hw's. So yeah, thats my two cents. I used that combination for god knows how long and i've never had anyone of my squads tossed around like a pile of playthings - thank god for that. ^^

i'd say screw the heavy weapons and max out on them special weapons. in a 1500 going for at least 2 lemun russes are viable....or wut i think.....get a storm troopers squad and add that to the chimera....u can use the grenadier doctrine to count them as troops. with a chimera the storm troopers can be ure reinforcements to ure hardened vets in case of trouble or basically as a flanker or objectove claimin

i give mine a missile launcher, but am planning on dropping it next game and just go for mobile, assault styly weapons.
