The two banners aren't limited to different armour marks, the distinction isn't between Mk3 and Mk6. They're meant to represent Legion and Company standards respectively. Hard agree on the swords, we need different melee options, that would have been a major selling point for this box. I'm also convinced that the shields are included because they're options in the squad entry, not because anyone wants them. The sprue can be combined with Assault squads and Jetbikes to give movement options to Command squads, which is a major thing, in my opinion. I'm loving almost everything about the upgrade sprue. I can't wait to get one for myself.
I already got several of the MKIII and MKIV resin command squads (as well as the MKIII and MKIV power weapon sets, including power mauls), so not really any need for those. What I do wish for is terminator command squads upgrades. Even if it's just special helmets and Cataphractii/Tartaros terminator hands holding the banners. If they release such a set, I would be all over them! Edit: regarding match up suggestions, it probably depends a bit on what armies you can get your hands on. There are some rather "classic" interlegion encounters taking place during the great crusade, like the Dark Angel/Space wolf bust up,. Issvan III legion vs. same legion (loyalist vs. traitor) etc.
We've got Isstvan III campaign in the works, hopefully not too far away now we are closer to having LI ready. We definitely have enough EC to do a intramatch. Will look into it soon.
I agree with the above request for an intralegion match, if you can. I'd also enjoy some World Eaters against just about anyone. World Eaters vs. Bearers of the Turd would be fun.
You could proxy them as boarding shields. Though I would point out that boarding shields are a lot bigger. Not that anyone should complain. It would be a toss up between the extra attack and a 5++. Combat shields at 6++ is a waste of points imo. It might be interesting having a couple boarding shields disbursed amongst the unit to add some durability.
That's what Richard was pointing out. Using the standard plastic marines doesn't give them an distinct markings to stand out as artificer armor. Missed opportunity to bring some bling here.
@@Garsty It does come with only the standard power armor. There is no command squad specific bodies. Just an upgrade sprue they will include with some marines.

Pre ordered the Command squad, Shadrak and Hibou Khan today!
I may be interested in a command squad depending on the price.

We'll see how soon we can get a match up like that for you.
I actually do think there's a place for the Boarding Shield. The one that gives 5++ at the cost of your pistol. Why not use these shields for that?

Tbf this command sqaud is equipped with normal power armour and is a lower tier command sqaud

@@fareastwargaming I see my mistake was I thought this new command sqaud only came with standard power army

Ok that makes sense 👍
Can you guys start using the correct term sling instead of strap so i dont have a brain aneurysm on the next video ❤
Hahaha we'll make a mental note of that for next time.
