Bought the Vostroyans + break down
Hey all!
I nabbed Vostroyans Saturday at my local GW. I was lurking the GW website when the minis dropped a day early down under, so I could get a good look at what minis were available. My plan was to maximize the types of models I could get with a minimum of spending.
The Platoon kit comes with the command squad, heavy weapons (lascannons only), and 2 infantry squads.
The “Commander” (Sergeant) with Power Sword and Plasma pistol is in one infantry squad along with a grenade launcher.
The “Commander” with Power Fist is in the second squad along with a plasma gunner. The standalone squad is led by the Commander with Chainsword, and that squad has a Flamer.
So if you buy 1 Platoon and 1 squad, you get all the leaders available in the MTO, and all special weapons EXCEPT the snipers. You need to get the Mortar and Heavy Bolter separately.
I think I’m just going to kitbash mortars of heavy bolters, or do the 3^(rd) party thing with Les Grognards.
