One important note for would be Templar modelers. Since the Black Templar pull a lot of iconography from the medieval look, the monastic items from the dark angels suit them well.
Several other bits were pulled from the dark angels veterans boxes.
The two plasma pistol wielding marines are metal marines from the Veterans Mk I and Veterans Mk II boxes. Just as the other squad has a cross on top of their jump packs, these guys have a shield, pulled from the heraldic shield included with assault terminators. Ever since the rise of the new IG, they have become especially invaluable in the good fight. These guys have killed terminators, great demons, and most major pieces of armor that you see on a given game of 40k. Double plasma pistols, five storm shields, a power fist, and meltabombs all around for good measure. Just as the previous squad was intended to deal with Orks, IG, Tau, and the like these guys are the ones to call on for the heavy hitters. This is a stylish and subtle way to keep yourself and your opponent straight on who goes where.Īssault Squad 2: Death to the Machine, Death to the Monster Even if there's only 1 model difference, it can be frustrating in the middle of a game to realize that your squads are packing the wrong items. It's a nice little trick that I highly recommend to anyone who isn't packing completely iterative squads. This made it much easier to tell two squads apart if they found themselves in close proximity, and also helped to organize them for packing/unpacking. I put these to good use by gluing a cross to the top of each marine's jump pack.
#40k drop pod door armor upgrade
Having picked up several copies of the Templar upgrade box, I found myself with a lot of extra bits and crosses. But the toughest customers would have to wait for the next squad. A double flamer attack could now cause upward of 20 wounds! A power weapon on the head marine ensured they would have a little something to deal with tougher customers. Another beneficial rule in 5th edition was the new way that template weapons were resolved. These guys were built to take down hordes before they could become a problem.
