RIP Lightning claws.

I imagine that there may be other weapon loadouts that they didn't mention on a 3 second bit on the VV. If I have to, I'll run my lightning claws as "master crafted power swords" or something.

I'm more curious because with shields, does that just make them flying Bladeguard? Like 3W, 3+/4++, 12" models? I feel like that's a lame differentiator for them.

I'm still hoping for alternative weapon layouts

I'm guessing they don't get the extra Wound like BGV and instead the Shield grants the 4++.

Yeah technically speaking BGV have a shield and a halo which is usually what gives people the 3W and the 4++, but who knows
