Editing Primaris Lieutenant (section)

== Vanguard Lieutenant ==

[[File:VanguardLieutenant.jpg|250px|right|thumb|The sneaky version.]]

Like all Vanguard Marines, Vanguard Lieutenants wear the lightweight [[Mark X: Phobos Pattern Armour|Phobos Armor]] which makes them [[Raven Guard|extra sneaky]] and less of a big target (the reductions to the [[Pauldrons|'''PAULDRONS''']] decreased their target profile by 30% alone).

Unlike regular Primaris Lieutenants, Lieutenants of the Vanguard formations provide support and tactical flexibility for their Captain. Often, when a strike team is engaged in a complex, multi-faceted operation, a Lieutenant will be assigned to oversee one or more critical aspects.

Beyond their leadership qualities, Lieutenants are skilled blade-fighters with their [[Basic Close Combat Weapons#Astartes Combat Knife|Paired Combat Blades]] (which score extra hits on a 6), and dead-eye shots with their [[Serious Business|master crafted]] [[Bolt Carbine|Occulus Bolt Carbines]] (which ignore cover).

In addition to this, these Vanguard Lieutenants can deploy via grav-chute to enact [[Indrick Boreale|multiple-simultaneous-devastating-defensive-deepstrikes.]] Like [[Steel Rain]], but far more tactical and sneaky. However, he doesn't have Concealed Positions, so unless you're holding him in reserve with [[Reiver|Reivers]], or only deploying within your normal deployment zone, he's going to [[derp|arrive a turn later]] than the other Vanguard troops you'd want him to support, [[Infiltrator|Infiltrators]] and [[Incursor|Incursors]].

Speaking of Reivers, you can alternatively equip him with a [[Heavy Bolt Pistol]], a standard Combat Knife, and the spooky faceplate that gives them the Terror Troops ability. He'll even gain the {{W40kKeyword|REIVER}} keyword. However, he'll also be forced to [[wat|trade the grav-chute with a smoke grenade]], meaning any Reivers he might want to pal around with better either be [[Impulsor|carpooling]] or [[FAIL|walking to their target]].

All in all, it's a nice model that may disappoint some for the sheer fact that it is ''yet'' another Primaris Lieutenant model.
