ConfusedWolf Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 So I bought my first Wolf Pack boxed set. I figured the hardest part would be to decide whether to make them blood claws or grey hunters. Then I noticed that neither meltas nor flamers were included. WHY!?! There are three special weapon options and GW includes only one of the choices are in the box!? GAH! I could create some plasma gun wielding grey hunters. The idea of 5 plasma shots from 12" while holding an objective warms my heart, but I worry about cover (ignoring AP) and overheating. I do need some help. GW's website doesn't tell you everything that is in all the boxed sets. -Would a vanilla tactical squad include two flamers? I would hate to have to buy 2 boxes just so I can get enough flamers for one blood claw unit. -GW sells metel meltaguns. I'm not too sure about trying to glue metal onto plastic. I hate putting together metal minatures. Is there any boxed set that sells plastic meltas? If not, what would be the best way to glue metal to plastic? Or would plasma carrying Grey Hunters work well? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182080-need-help-with-bitz/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasterfree Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 there is only one flamer in the tac box, along with one melta and one more plasma. AFAIK the only way to get meltas and flamers that you want is to buy the 3 pack of marines on the GW web site Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182080-need-help-with-bitz/#findComment-2154921 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Runner Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 You can get meltaguns from the GW site, the link below: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...otCatGameStyle= Or you could try out the Bitz and Kits site for extra parts http://www.bitsandkits.co.uk/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/182080-need-help-with-bitz/#findComment-2154962 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPetersson Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Yeah, it's pretty annoying, but hey ho, that's what bitz shops are for. Personally, I have so many melta and flamers spare from the previous boxes, that I'm happy that at least now I'm getting Plasma Guns...

ConfusedWolf Posted October 17, 2009 Author Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks for the help guys. I take it that GW does NOT make plastic meltaguns? Does the tactical box include just one flamer?

Night Runner Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 Thanks for the help guys. I take it that GW does NOT make plastic meltaguns? Does the tactical box include just one flamer? Yes only one flamer, and you can get the plastic melta gun on the old SW sprue which I believe you will be able to order soon from the GW site.

That melta in the tac box is plastic, correct? Could I just order that spruce a few times?

hmk17 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The old Space Wolves upgrade sprue had meltagun on it as well. IT will be offered in the bitz section some time later this month, according to WD 357. Can't remember if it had a flamer or not... Black Templars upgrade has both a flamer and melta. Other than that, bitz sites charge a premium for loose meltaguns. Edit: Space wolf Sprue does not have a flamer. :) The tactical squad's weapons are indeed plastic. So if you can find that sprue for a reasonable amount, go for it. Problem is GW doesn't sell it alone.
