Uriel Ventris. He's already in my list and the squad is decently pointed since I already have the captain to slap with them.

What about Grimaldus and his servitors with 6 BG Vets in a drop pod?

Vulkan!

I’ve always used Uriel Ventris with these boys.

I love Phobos units. Even the Reivers.

Smoke Strat? Not likely. Grenades? Yes!

If one add a leutenant with mcpw to Khans company heroes, it is possible to achieve 17 precision lance attacks for 1 cp. I wonder if it is enough to Ghazkul for example.

I wish i could attach Ragnar Blackmane to them.

Fun to get these little deep dives!

In Crusade they got some attention, so I want to use them. Thank you for this video)

My favorite was before vect update a Watch master with the tomb of ectoclades, ( gives you reroll to wound on oath for whole army once per battle). So he would be protected by the company heroes and give a vect plus a better oath once per game.

I love the concept, the models, and the rules are decent - BUT what makes me sad is that we get the : Combat hero = amazing Banner = amazing BUT we get the shooters - I'd have loved seeing more of a 'command squad' feel with an Apothecary type hero in there, as then along with the Captain and or Lieutenant, it would have a great feel/vibe that ties in with command squads of old

Uriel Ventris likes these guys a lot. They transform him from a character you bring to use a cool ability, into a midfield bully unit that becomes difficult to shift for under 200 points. I’d take them over Bladeguard any day.

We need hyperspace hobbies merch!

I just wished they had more weapon options

I think they are best in a Blood Angels Detachment. First and foremost +1 atks and S+2 is goming to make even the CCW something to be scared of. They also have a pretty legit stratagem Red Rampage for Lethal & Lance. I would like to say the best option is the Relic Shield Capt (because it has more atks than the Powerfist) because S7 + Lance you should be wounding 95% of all infantry on 2+ plus the once per game +3 atks and Devastating wounds. But i think another good option is Gabriel Seth. Advance and Charge is also good, however i dont think Seth is a Tacticus model so good luck for transportation (drop pod or land raider?)

I picked up this unit as a cheap way to get ancient, blade guard lieutenant (magnetised shield to backpack), captain, lieutenant. But now planning on using them with calgar or just a captain and going in impulsor to hold a mid board objective.

Ive had great success with a general captain with the Blade Driven Deep from the Raven Guard detachment. Infiltrating onto an objective they are good bullies. Captains -1CP allows for AOC of course. But the Raven strategms are great; a free fall back d6" when charged, give the whole unit percision for 1 cp (with captain devestating wounds ability), and a pick up and redeploy are great!

BACommander just did a great video on this squad. It is a good looking group.

I just thinking, can we put those guys in a dropod ? Is it a good plan ?

I love them, theyre a swiss army knife among swiss army knives. For 95 points you can do a lot I put vulkan he'stan in there

Uriel's Swords of Calth? 😅

they sound like Custodes' wardens with the tankiness

I've used Cato Sicarius with company heros in a WTC tournament. It was amazing for the movement jank! highly recommend!

A nice home for Uriel Ventris ?

You guys sounded like how I felt this morning 😅 Late night? Great conversation, thanks for upload 👍

In a post pariah nexus world, i think champions of russ is the best detachment for the bladguard . You get so many buffs to close combats they can get sustained hits or leathal right of the bat. Plus a strat that gives advance and charge and go for the throat can give lance. Ragnar plus these guys are a terrifying force now. they were scary before now they can be the champions melee The Great Wolf demands.

In blood angels they fullfill the role of tanky objective holders, precision makes it really appealing to have a captain and a lieutenant attached to abuse the charge bonus in certain situations

Sicarius and heros do make a great harassment unit but it's finding a balance in when using them. Vanguard spearhead works well and you can stay out of range and capitalize on the -1 to hit. Fire storm is great when you need a +1 to hit and battle shock. But i find sicarius does better with bigger units hoping in and out of transports. it even better is it an aircraft stormraven.

Vulkan all the way, super hard to remove from an objective

I live this unit, i have run them as a bodyguard for Ventris, a punch unit for the captain with a powerfist and the Honor vehment but I am enjoying them with Calgar atm

Surprisingly tough to shift if you pick the right leader for them. Also I've used them once while playing unforgiven task force and they work quite nicely for that because of the ancient

Azrael can’t go in that unit right?

What about in sons of sanguinius with Gabriel Seth and /or sanguinary priest? Extra melee attacks, plus 2 str, seth gives advance and charge, then the priest gives them ap and a fnp

I’ve never used them, but I’ve always thought of them as a cool combo with Uriel Ventris

Honestly I like the company champion and wish that he was also a character option like the legends “company champion on bike”. +1 on advance and charge and a free heroic intervention would be cool if he could go into a blade guard squad, and he could be an alternate to the lieutenant, giving the blade guard an option to be more defensive or counter character unit

I run Company Heroes with Pedro Kantor and a LT.

Great vid!

I used the captain model to make a count as Uriel Ventris because that’s the only way I can deep strike gravis armor (they should be able to go in drop pods)

Where did you get that awesome sweater Steve? I use the champion as a judiciar for my dark angels personally.

I like the look of the unit. However, mechanically they don't feel good enough. Probably would have been more fun if they behaved like a character extender like how an ancient or lieutenant behaves. Example: Captain, Company Heros, Bladeguard Captain, Company Heros, Sternguard Could limit them to only joining minimum count squads or only veteran status units. This would make them feel a bit better.

Calgar plus company heroes. Its 16 power sword attacks plus 15 regular combat knives and then calgar swings.

Nice video lads

What have you done? I want to have them now 😭

Would love to hear more about the RTT and how Ian got first

Auto 6 the Heavy Bolter, I don't think you get the Sustain 2 from that enhancement. It's a modified 6 and not an unmodified 6 to hit.

Love these unit deep dives
