canis_wolfborn Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 They get a bolter and a pistol and a single ccw so that is 3 attacks on the charge per model.

dublindawg Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 cheaper and 3 attacks on assaults or counter-assaults. With 30+ attacks (MoW) and a standard bearer, they will wreck many a unit in CC.

rodgers37 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I personally quited liked the Blood claws (that is right isn't it....) when i first looked at the codex, but both troop units look pretty good..... (is it recomended to mix and match with them, or just take one or the other? i want to know, as i am about to make and paint some for display for a few days before i can actually buy them ;)) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179348-grey-hunters/#findComment-2124626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 BC make no sense when for 3 pts more you can have the same guys with the same rules , but with jump packs . also the fact that they actually need a WG and a WP to work [unlike GH] means there is no way your going to use them [specially as the extra power fist comes when you get 15 models ;)] with transports . in 5th with the old dex BC spam lists were popular , now they are a dead army choice specially as they dont get +2A on counter charge . GH are just better at everything and can play mecha . BC lists cant do that.

Neth_Oni Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 both gh and bc are valid, good choices for the troops in any army. However I would wouch for the gh to be the slightly better in the new codex Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179348-grey-hunters/#findComment-2124644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodgers37 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Thanks, i have also just realise there are faces and hair to paint :s (but i am quite annoyed there is no Flamers or Meltas in the spures...) i am probably going to make 20 grey hunters, 10 Blood claws (i am buying lukas, so need Blood claws....) and will then make some long fangs, a couple of lone wolves, a lord maybe and Wolf Guard.... (i am getting 4 boxes <_< ) Also i know not the right thread, but what is the best way to paint wolves, and wolf skins....

That's what I did. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to mark each pack of GH's to make it easier to tell them apart. Maybe a decal or knee pad colorization.

Toasterfree Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 ive got the pads for my GH units to diff them out, but its the BC units that i need to do something about, as well as filler models for the units that i need to shift around i think Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/179348-grey-hunters/#findComment-2124790 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marek Grimfang Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Unless you are going with a BC themed army, GHs are the way to go, but BCs shouldn't be discounted. For every two GH packs I have, I then choose one BC pack. BCs are great to be used a a cheap body guard unit for a character or some other HQ choice. Not sure if I would bother with a special weapon for them or not. Gh's though, for me, are a minimum of three packs no matter the size of army. 9 x GH, PW, Melta Gun, + WG with PF.

greese_m0nkey Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 The new sprues I looked at at G.W. come with some detailed shoulder pads. I cant remember if the wier GH or BC pads though.

dublindawg Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 You get 2 of each pack type shoulder pad in the box, BC, GH, LF, WG. I just picked up the white dwarf and have it at my desk.
