volfbjorn Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hello all i have bought from a friend in a good deal (about 30 euros altogether) the following Logan Ragnar Rune Priest Rhino 10x BC 10x GH . I was wondering if i could play BC as GH , in some way so i would only buy a 3rd box of wolf pack . so i can have 3 squads of GH for my list . is it possible or will i have problems ? Thx in advance Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178865-difference-between-gh-and-bc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forseti Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 hmmm as far as WYSIWYG all you'd really need to do is strap on a bolter I guess (Glue one to backpack?). Bolter is the 1 thing GH have that BC don't.

volfbjorn Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 that's what i thought so B) So the only difference is the bolter right ?

Jambowang Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Equip em with bolter's, and call them BC, who can argue if the paint job backs up the kind of pack!

Hfran Morkai Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think that provided you show your opponent your list you should be able to get away with it, however as Forseti pointed out sticking bolters on might help, or mix your blood claws in with other hunters armed with bolters.

volfbjorn Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 yeah cause i think GH can have also some CCW per squad, so i ll need to give some of them a bolter. Thx for your quick answers i had my preorder waiting until i resolve this B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178865-difference-between-gh-and-bc/#findComment-2116276 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx for your quick answers i had my preorder waiting until i resolve this B) All Grey Hunters in the new codex have bolter, bolt pistol and close combat weapon, so I suggest you mix in your blood claws with bolter armed models to make the squads clearly hunters.

Forseti Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Pack Markings and colour scheme will be the main thing though, since it's the easiest way to tell the difference with a quick glance. I vaguely remember an annoying game a few years back with some guy who had his assault marines without jump packs on (the models, not his list)..kept forgetting they actually had them and accidentally got too close. But the difference between GH and BC is so minimal, especially with new dex.

But there will be those of us (Me included) who struggle with pack markings, I can't apply transfers to save my life and my colours are just different for each pack. So I guess I'm not a fluff monster after all.

Forseti Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Oh I didn't mean transfers, I hate those damn things..Just go for the classic jagged mixed colours.. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b98/caledor/pack.jpg Usually to differentiate between different packs, I'll use different patterns or invert colours (1 pack will be red background with black lines, another will be black background with red lines) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178865-difference-between-gh-and-bc/#findComment-2116301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'm not even confident to do that my brother, I just have a different colour for each pack to keep them together, I know what they are and I always have a list.

Hergrmir Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 As long as they have bolters there's no real room for confusion - I don't know if those boxes have enough bolters for everyone who isn't armed with a special weapon, but if they do, you're good.

slmellon Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I agree with forseti...paint the right shoulder red, give it some kind of black stripe or triangle and they are GHs...and since the new rules say they have both, just glue, as someone suggested, or GS some strapped on bolters and there you go. Thats what I am planning on doing seeing as the points cost is the same, I think the only claws I'll have in my army will be bikers or skyriders. I guess we will have to see when the new Holy Tome of Russ becomes officially available to us. We can just salivate and fight the wulfen within until then Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/178865-difference-between-gh-and-bc/#findComment-2116345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
