Hfran Morkai Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Why? *Sobs* You outsmarted me! I was hoping I would be able to use the frost axe and power weapon from the Wolf Guard boxes on my shooty terminators made from standard marine boxes, mainly to acquire the cyclone launchers for my lords retinue. But they were smart, too smart and didn't put enough arms for those and thunder hammers. I applaud you GW on your ability to reduce the number of bits left over. I also find it interesting that on the TDA sprues there are little combat knives.

dublindawg Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I also find it interesting that on the TDA sprues there are little combat knives. Didn't you know that WG's can take their TDA gauntlets off in battle to use those little knifes.

Didn't you know that WG's can take their TDA gauntlets off in battle to use those little knifes. That is quite an accomplishment. Also I have just discovered an ale horn! Good days! I was looking to use one for my Wolf Lord and GW gave me one!

Brother Captain Kezef Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 It's the same principle behind fire warriors in Crisis shoots carrying little knives.

Audun Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 It is somewhat annoying. However, I now have a great many spare power fists and chainfists. I set mine up with Thunderhammer-stormshield Combimelta-frostblade WolfClaw-stormshield Assault cannon-power weapon heavy flamer-chainfist The great thing about mine though is that I used a Chaos Termie lord to make my wolf lord (I wanted "special" wolf claws for him and the chaos lord had proper claw style rather than wolverine style lightning claws) and I got some spare bitz, namely the combimelta, a big frostaxe (daemonaxe) and a double bladed chainfist. But now I have spare hammers, storm bolters, power fists and chainfists and no more terminators...damn, so much cool stuff and nowhere for it to go... :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180884-curse-you-gw/#findComment-2141698 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks cool and badass I thought Tau carried them as a symbol of bonding? Perhaps they're for collecting trophies after the battle is done? And they do look quite awesome.

Brother Captain Kezef Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 one of my Wolf Guard has TDA, frost blade and stormshield. I took the frost axe arm and replaced the axe with a chainsword, the one with the wolf's head on the hilt. Looks kinda cool on a Termie.

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It's a business folks they need you to help take other items off the shelves. Remember in the rumor thread there the initial pics were from the sales material which encouraged selling other marine bits to "cross pollinate" the SW purchase.

clanfield Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 i think the box was design to produce a battle leader/lord and 4 guards hence why only 4 wc and hammersor 4 plus a heavy wepon when i was building mine i considered storm bolter/storm shield then power wepon storm shield in the end i went for a mixed pack im gona use all those funky storm shields to decorate my wolf guard drop pod Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180884-curse-you-gw/#findComment-2142524 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJumppanen Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It's a business folks they need you to help take other items off the shelves. Remember in the rumor thread there the initial pics were from the sales material which encouraged selling other marine bits to "cross pollinate" the SW purchase. Not sure if you are suposed to buy marines that aren't SW, but you can use marine parts that you already have, like those you got from starter kit, and upgrade them to SW. And let's face it: Who doesn't have regular marines in their selfs or bits boxes? Personaly i bought some terminators early this year and now i'm going to use them to make WGs from that SW terminator kit.
