<snip vet stats, previous versions>

Veteran (Marines) in 40K have the same squad make up as normal tactical
or (Blood Angels) assault squads, they have the same weapons but have a
higher Ballistic Skill (BS) or Weapons Skill (WS) which makes them more
likely to hit/ more likely to win a close combat. I would suggest that they
be
better served by automatically recieving the Overwatch ability to represent
the higher BS and a reroll in close combat similar to that given by the
force
commander, along with the remove D6 blast markers (rather than D6-1)
representing the higher leadership.
I'm not sure about a points cost though

Wow! I think all those abilities are over the top! Not to mention the cost
would be prohibitive.
1)Their higher BS is not that signifigant, since they still only have
bolters. Remember, a devastar squad has twice the FP of a SM one, but
that's because they have lots of heavy weapons.

2)For their WS, you could give them a +1Af if you want. This way they would
have the assault of assault marines, but the firepower of tacticals. This
makes them pretty good all around, which I think is more in line with what
vetrans are. They are just generally good troops, but not specailiezed in
any one thing. Sort of like a super tactical.

3Thier leadership, cannot get much better. Removeing more blast markers
would make them to powerful, not to mention you run into problems with
detachment composition. Besides, their leadership goes from an 8 to a 9
anyway, big deal. They are already stubborn, what more do they need?!?!

Make it a SM upgrade, cannot be combined with others. Maybe have some sort
of limit to reflect the rarety of them.

Vetran: +1Af, 2pts. (cost more because they have no range reduction)
(note: Not avalable to Space Wolfs, that would be cheesy :)

well, just a suggestion.
