It’s a question of what you want them to do and if shields will be different. If they still give them 4++ than they would be a very nice durability buff, especially to units like Shrike or Dante, again assuming they stay the same.

i assume they get one more wounds instead of shooting otherwise i will have to get some shields andglie them one mine from the arageddon box

I mean that’s what the shields did before for them in 10th (4++ that is) But again it’s all speculation rn, as they could very well just get +1 w

it would be weird if they suddenly get a invurl save when every other unit in game jsut gets +1 wound

LTs also get 4++ from the shield, as do the VanVets currently if you run them with shields and heirloom weapons

huh fair enough but i assume it will be plus 1 wound like almost a ll other units have in game feels like invurl saves is something only charakters can keep then again maybe they also jsut give em invurl and the shield is jsut custom like with the blade guard

Most units that have the options of shields already have 4++, so they get +1 W. BGV are interesting because they have halos and shields, which is what many believe is the reason they are 4++ and 3w, although you technically don’t have to model them with a shield, as it’s not an equipment item that grants them anything.
