El Scotcho Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 So my brother wants me to build him some orks, and he asked me what I wanted for it, so he's buying me a box of grey hunters for the work. While this doesn't sound very remarkable he lives in Seattle and I live in Tampa. Anyhow I was wondering how grey hunter squads are normally outfitted, and yes I realize that a new codex is right around the corner, but I do really want to build these guys when they get here.

Forseti Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Get him to wait a month and send over one of the new boxes..15 SW + lots of extra bits is worth the wait.. Grey Hunters tho..Bolters+CCW or Plasma/Melta, I'd just go for 1 Power fist/weapon since it's pretty much confirmed we only get 1.

Grey Mage Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Well thats kinda tough, seeing as GHs are one of the most flexable units in the game right now *and I hope they continue to be*. In any case Id put forth my "normal" layouts that can be built with just the GH box and a couple bitz: 10 GHs- PF, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol, 8 Bolters- 215pts. or 9 GHs- 8 Bolters, Meltagun, Powerweapon- 182pts. W/ WGPL- PF, C-F- 50pts. Or 9 GHs- 2x PW, Meltagun, 9 Bolters- 192pts. W/ WGPL- PF, SS- 50pts.

Hrathnar Flintfang Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I would say get the old box, then learn to cast and keep the old bitz seperate. That way you can mix and match casted old bitz with the new ones, or modify older woflie bitz to be added on later. Its the general advice I'm giving out to everyone, and the advice I myself am taking. Granted I think casting is probaby a touchy subject because so many peope feel that one could 'proxy' a whole army, but I also know for a fact that some people are going to miss their options when they are gone, and its better to be prepared now than to go out on E bay to look later.

Durfast Spiritwolf Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Seconded, I've a couple of 'soon to be' old boxes hoarded for parts to enhance the new releases (oh and four MIBs of Wulfen for whenever!)

El Scotcho Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 you mean like casting molds in green stuff, or rubber? And i have to say that thats a pretty good idea, seeing as how the rumor mill seems to be saying that the new boxes are completely new sculpts.

Brother-Captain Laen Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Keep in mind that it is against the law to cast GWs models. You should most likely keep those ideas, while good and very helpful, to pms or emails.

El Scotcho Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks for the heads up, I honestly didn't know that. An update, of sorts. My brother has graciously decided to wait until next month so that I can get the new box and codex. So that sort of renders my question moot after all. I appreciate the helpful info y'all, and hopefully I'll have a WIP thread pretty soon.....
