Azadul Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 well i was looking through codex to find that there is very weird looking wording for his weapon load-out. You can theoretically give him: - Plasma Pistol - Pair of Lightning Claws - Combi-Weapon - Melta Bombs But dude, talk about :cuss! Now, i would never do this as it is a complete waste, but to be honest it seems that it is legal. Please correct me if i am wrong, because to be honest this is just not right, however i see no opposing argument. This is weird, because there is no armory to choose from that says that this is not allowed because it only states that you may replace the bolt pistol with plasma pistol, replace CCW with pair of lightning claws, and may take a combi-weapon. This is really screwed up! Thought that I should share. Not sure if it is in the rant, it is really too much to read, so sorry if it is.

Maddog176 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Yeah i was looking at it the other day as me and a mate were laughing at stupid things you can do with the chaos codex. In the end i was tempted to model a chaos lord with what you say twin lightning claws, plasma pistol, combi weapon, melta bomb and on a bike. What a interesting model it could be, well you could give him wings/jump pack instead.

Drudge Dreadnought Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I'm tempted to do this just to get in fights with people about it. I'd probably do it without wings and run him with zome zerks. Mark of Khorne of course. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142921-weird-kitted-out-chaos-lord/#findComment-1654969 Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordSion Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 i get the feeling if we start trying to use all these little loopholes, guard players will start to complain again and we'll end up with another, even worse codex... :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142921-weird-kitted-out-chaos-lord/#findComment-1655059 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sexiest_hero Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 was thinking i could make him a 4 armed freak, or mount the shooty bits on his shoulder, predater style, maybe some imp or such to help carry the load. Or maybe just mount everything on the bike. including the Lighting claws!

Brother Aristeo Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Okay, I noticed the way the Lord entry was written last week and thought the same thing. I figured that the FAQ would correct it, but it doesn't mention it. I mean, it wouldn't make a bad Lord if you threw a jump pack on it. But would you really need both the plasma and combi-weapon? If so, what combi-weapon would you prefer? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142921-weird-kitted-out-chaos-lord/#findComment-1655312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
benno_wallace Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I have an Iron Warriors army. My regularly run Lord is kitted out with Twin Lightning Claws, bolt pistol and a combi-flamer all modelled on. I give him melta bombs sometimes but they aren't modelled on, although he does have normal grenades modelled on his waist. I have the lord with his claws out, the combi flamer attached to his backpack (which is Huron Blackhearts backpack) and a holstered pistol. I'll post picks later when I get home from work Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142921-weird-kitted-out-chaos-lord/#findComment-1655322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azadul Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 To model the biker dude, it would be okay to use say, a full servo harness, looks good is not cumbersome, and with a slight change to the servo-arms they could count as lightning claws. Dude, i am doing this! Cheers, Azadul Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142921-weird-kitted-out-chaos-lord/#findComment-1655489 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massawyrm Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 i get the feeling if we start trying to use all these little loopholes, guard players will start to complain again and we'll end up with another, even worse codex... :tu: Sure. At the current rate that would give us about 5 years to thrash them before that happens...

L0NEW0LF Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 And I dare someone to model it, without it looking stupid! :blink: not that hard really just go for a marneus calgar aproach and join the guns to the back of the L.Claws if i had spare LC's i'd do it ,not that i'd use it much as my lord is a Khorne nutter and Lurves his Bloodfeeder (even though the feelings not always mutual :blink:) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142921-weird-kitted-out-chaos-lord/#findComment-1655844 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roultox Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Combi-Melta, Plaspistol, Twin Claws, Jump Pack, Meltabombs .. All legal, and if the orks with limited tech can have lots-o-dakka, no restrictions like the imperials, Chaos can too.

Sception Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Remember there are holsters for pistols, sholder straps for rifles, and one of the styles of lightning claw is 'armored gauntlet with retractible blades mounted on the forarm'. Given that set up, it doesn't sound like too much to carry or use effectively at all.
