I am building a Preheresy MkVI Vanguard Squad and I am having trouble deciding on the type of Jump Pack to use. I am looking at using one of the following:

FW MkV:

Maxmini Iron Pattern:

Which would you use?

If anyone knows of any other designs that would suit the MkV armour, please lmk.

I'm not a fan of the studs on the maxmini ones. Maybe those if you shaved them off.

But the FW ones look cool too smile.gif

Yep, thats what I was thinking. By the looks of the pics on the net, the studds are a plate that is added on. Plus they are alot cheaper smile.gif

I used the Raptor jump packs for my Pre Heresy style black Templar, I think that they look fantastic, plus it runs along the vein of the technology suposed to be being slightly better and streamlined than current gear.

Though they are normally a little expensive to pick up (I was lucky and got a heap of the metal ones really cheap through fleabay).

Yes the FW ones are the best those others seem to "Manga" if you know what I mean.

The studs look a bit too much like crusade pattern to me.

I think Maxmini actually also have a different design which would suit your purposes. Browse their store, I think they actually have three different jet pack variants.

Yeah, the above version is the only one I like. The bronze pattern and the other look silly.

Looking at getting some FW Mk5 guys and use the bodies for Sternguard.

There's also a generic 'Jump Pack', which is the one I use for my own Marines.

Personally, the Bronze pattern are my fave from Maxmini.

However, i already have 5 current Raptors packs with insignia removed.
