Hfran Morkai Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 6 plasma pistols in a pack box? A bit overkill, no? I'm just thinking they could have put more useful stuff in there such as combi-weapons or some people are complaining about lack of meltaguns and flamers. Not that I'm not grateful for the box but I can't see myself using all those bits. What would you have swapped out, and for what?

Long Fang Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 In the same vain, the lack of a CML in the WG terminator box is also irritating. Funny hair out Combi weapons in, would have been my choice Long Fang Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180904-has-gw-been-silly-or-smart/#findComment-2141894 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublindawg Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Guess you could always convert them into combi-plasma weapons.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180904-has-gw-been-silly-or-smart/#findComment-2141895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Guess you could always convert them into combi-plasma weapons.... The thought crossed my mind but I am not a fan of combi-plasma because knowing my luck that would be the one to die and then I would cry. Grey Hunters fine, they're 15/25 points with a plasma gun. And the cyclone thing is a shame but I'll mix in some normal terminator kits to make them up.

DV8 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 It's because the Space Wolf Pack is meant to be not only a stand-alone box, but one you can combine with Tactical, Scout, Assault, Command, and Devastator boxes. The extra bits are so you have enough to spread across (although why most of those pieces are heads is beyond me) I too find the lack of a CML in the Wolf Guard pack rather annoying though.

DV8 But the tactical and assault box already contain plasma pistols, don't they? Devastator box contains one as well IIRC.

Whitewolf Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I did notice that one arm with a Plasma pistol appears to be for a scout. THere is no way of putting a shoulder guard on it without doing some heavy trimming.

dublindawg Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Probably someone at Gdub went by the sculpter and mentioned how much he likes to use PP's and funky punk rock hairdos.

What would you have swapped out, and for what? *blinks* Mikal, dont you remember the Bloodclaw boxes that came with TEN plasma pistols, five for each arm? That was crazy, this is just prudent.

I certainly do, in fact I still have a box of the critters to assemble, that really confused me but I would have liked to see some combi-weapons in there.

Grey Mage Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yeah, combi-weapons would be nice. Thats why last year when it came out, I went out and bought FOUR of the plastic SM commander box. Ive not once regretted that purchase. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/180904-has-gw-been-silly-or-smart/#findComment-2142250 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Aye, combi meltas are very simple to create, the others would require more effort.

Maddog176 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I don't think i have actually used a single plasma pistol on any of my marines i just don't like them at all. Mind you i am great at killing my plasma gunners off the first time they fire lol.
