Horus Heresy 2e Review: Hetaeron Guard Squad

Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
4.5/5 stars. Excellent.

Background.
The closest confidantes of the Emperor himself and rarely leave his side. These are some of the best warriors that humanity has ever produced. 

Strengths.
Three wounds each and sporting meridian swords, these are a serious proposition for any enemy to tackle. The rest of the stat profile is standard for Custodes and the equipment similar

Weaknesses.
Not many realistically.

Builds.
I'm going to be honest: I don't think you should swap out the meridian swords. They're great as they are, so leave alone and play them accordingly. There might be a case for one or two Solarite Power Gauntlets, but hey, who am I to argue against such splendid swords?

Hetaeron Squad with 10 members, 1 with Vexilla and sentinel warblade (735 points)
You don't truthfully need a full set of 10 members for this squad, so just think of this option as the max'ed out version. Take less and they'll still work, depending on your points limit. The Shield is almost worth it here if you're footslogging. 

Hetaeron Squad, 1 with Solarite Power Gauntlet and Shield (265 points)
For illustration purposes, but still viable.
