Review - Bladeguard Veterans set for Warhammer 40,000 Ed9 from Games Workshop
Assembly
The multiple options the kit allows probably beg for being magnetised.
There are three different bodies. The heads fit either of the bodies. The arms seems like they would fit all of the bodies.
The pistols are only right handed. There are 3 heavy bolt pistols, and 2 others (plasma and neo-volkite) for the sergeant. The sword holding arms can be put on either side, there's plenty of variants included.
The shields can be used in the left hands of the models, but they also fit the backs of the models.
The sword sheaths are empty, and have a hollow top. There are also sword hilts in the set that you can put into the top of the sheaths if the model doesn't have its sword drawn.
Painting
As the glued models will have hard to reach areas, it's probably better to paint them in pieces.
