Transport: The squad may be mounted in a Chimera. See the Chimera army list entry for points cost and details.
Hardened Veterans: The squad has two Battle Honours, which will always be Hardened Fighters and Steadfast. For details see the Infantry Battle Honours table on page 163 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Designer's Note: Hardened Veterans can be represented by any Imperial Guard models, but we've really included them to allow players to practise their skills at making a really unique and individual unit. Because of this we won't be making models to represent many of the options allowed to a Veteran squad — it's up to you to convert the models if you want troopers armed with these weapons in your squad.
