lunchb0x Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I am attempting to make a new list and ran into something I find odd.... Storm Shield is listed as a single handed weapon... Our Armoury states that we can only have 2 weapons....the storm shield is listed in single handed weapons...so that would mean that I cant run a p.fist,plasma pistol and storm shield... or a bolter and chainsword and storm shield correct? Even though it says in codex space marines, it is listed as OTHER and not a weapon.... more reading.... and I cant even bloody well take a Runic Staff if I want to take a bloody pistol!!!! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165582-confusion-on-storm-shields/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 yup. for us right now it is still considered a 1h weapon thus you lose your pistol/bolter. as it is right now, I have my storm shield magnetized to my rune priest's plasma pistol equipped hand and just tell opponents not to worry about it since it really isnt there.

WG Vrox Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 On the other hand, :blink: They are 5 points cheaper for our ICs and for our WG 10 points cheaper. WG Vrox.

Vassakov Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Meh, a 3++ is far far better than a Bolt Pistol round that will inevitably miss. And we can take so, so many... for next to nothing!

Grimtooth Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Yea, I looted a shield off an old termie model, filed the front down, attached a wolf icon, and magnetized it. Simple, easy, and looks good.

Dont get to upset, youll note that even a smurf commander cant take a powerweapon, pistol, and stormshield... as they have to exchange a chainsword or bolt pistol for the ability to take a different weapon. The placement of it as wargear in the other codex makes no nevermind, they still treat it as a weapon for the purposes of selection.

Grimfoe Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 This is why I'm holding off on modeling my Rune Priest. I want to see the new dex to find out whether or not he can have a gun. I think he'll be kicking if modeled in the same vane as my WL and Retinue, but I'm not sure what the options will be as right now he can only have a staff and a shield. Kind of sucks when you consider we don't have any cool "shooty" psychic powers. I imagine we'll get the SM powers once this is all said and done anyhow.

lunchb0x Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 I want a psychic power that incorporates like a wolf or winter something...like a "psychic wolf attack" , or "psychic frozen to the ground" i dunno something that would relate to Wolf history and what not.

That would be best. Something that is comparable to SM powers but with a SW flavor.

LOL Or have a psychic power called "eye of the kraken" and have it cause terror/auto run on a unit or something LOL Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165582-confusion-on-storm-shields/#findComment-1952012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 i'd actually like most of the powers to be more like buffs of some description.... i'm kinda thinking of the different lores of magic in whfb and i picture the normal librarians to be kind of fire wizards, all about bringing death and destruction to the enemies whilst the space wolves are more shamanistic and more like lore of beast, so keeping storcaller and adding in more based around enhancing other units abilities and downgrading those of the enemy...

I didnt think about it that way...hmmm...I gotta say your idea makes more sense then mine. That would be kinda cool if we got something kinda like that setup. off hand question... Since we are all Space Wolfs ...when we say "that would be cool" is that a really bad joke or pun on the cooool part? or just ironicly-weird ? :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165582-confusion-on-storm-shields/#findComment-1952145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 lol... hadn't even twigged the pun there... but from now on i think its gonna have a different meaning... puns all the way people :tu: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/165582-confusion-on-storm-shields/#findComment-1952151 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimfoe Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think we've hijacked this thread a little with the Rune Priest discussion. I know Lunchbox doesn't seem to mind, but I'll start a new thread. Despite the fact that we've been beating the new codex to death, I don't see one specifically on Rune Priests.....
