CSM Vindicator Kit

Postby BlaineThPain » Fri Jan 20, 2012 1:18 am

It looks like the CSM Vindicator kit is on sale today at miniwargaming.

Does anyone know for certain whether it has everything necessary to make a standard Space Marine vindicator? I know the Vindicator parts are on an upgrade sprue, I'm just looking to confirm that all the chaos bits are as well...

I've never bought one but according to this pic its an imperial vindicator with chaos accessory sprue:

This would appear to corroborate that:

Even on the GW site the siege shield still has the winged skull on it even though I believe that's an imperial symbol.

Assuming they haven't changed the kit since these pics where taken I would say its a safe bet you can make a loyalist vindicator and have a chaos accessory sprue to pawn off later.

Yes. It is the standard Vindi with a chaos accessory sprue.

Yep. It just doesn't include the Loyalist Marines Vehicle Upgrade Sprue, so some standard things (such as the storm bolter) are spikier. :)

Awesome, thanks for the info everyone!

This would be my third vindicator so I've got plenty of spare options (storm bolter/HKM etc).
