The Vanguard are the big brothers of the [[Assault Squad|Assault Marines]]. Highly skilled in close-quarter fighting, they use their [[Jump Pack]]s and powerful weaponry to make short work of the enemy.

Though the standard equipment of the Vanguard are the [[Bolt Pistol]] and [[Chainsword]], they have access to the Chapter's armory to become even deadlier in combat. The most commonly used equipment for the squad consists of twin [[Lightning Claws]] and the [[Thunder Hammer]]/Storm Shield combination, depending on what the mission calls for. They are also equipped with a selection of grenades.

Their "Heroic Intervention" rule used to let them assault out of deep strike, but needed to be declared they were going to try before placing and rolling for scatter. This has been changed so that they ignore disordered charges, and their sarge auto passes the test for a Glorious intervention.

In 7th, they still ignore disordered charges, but no more auto-pass Glorious Intervention tests: they can now re-roll dice for charge. Which, if you have Jump Packs, is pointless, as you can already re-roll charge. (Which is why you use the jump packs in the MOVEMENT phase.)
