Heroic intervention is good but i have seen it be very hit and miss - enemy units wiped out by them when they deepstruck correctly but when they missed they got mullered.<br /><br />At least with Sternguard you can keep them in cover and use the special ammo - assult terms in landraider or command squads seem betterTdubs036https://www.blogger.com/profile/10755232516134526198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264060005854044282.post-74314327516538504552009-06-08T05:17:18.609-08:002009-06-08T05:17:18.609-08:00I like vanguard out of a rhino attached to a chara...I like vanguard out of a rhino attached to a character as a nice unit due to the upgrade flexability and solid number of attacks. I think if they had not upgraded storm shield terminators so much vanguard might see more use as they are a solid cc unit. I think the key is not to over upgrade the unit.<br /><br />The jump pack equipped unit is only really useful as a suicide squad I think. Never tried them though I just picked up the minis before the price jump.eriochromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377904099582258296noreply@blogger.com
