rodgambit Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I just purchased a sealed box of grey slayers for my 13th Co. army and I was wondering if anyone knew the contents of the box? I know its 10 marines, but does anyone know specifics about what type of specials weapons and such are included?

Grey Mage Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Dunno about special weapons, but each and every model is a conglomeration of normal and chaos parts.

Night Runner Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Yes they have a melta-gun. IIRC the box contains the old SW sprue, a chaos space marine sprue and normal space marine sprue, but I can't remember in what quantities. The melta gun is from the SW sprue and there is only one of these. I hope it helps.

CainTheHunter Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 If my memory is correct, the content was the same as in the old Grey Hunter box (10 plastic old tactical marines + the old SW accessories + decals), except they had 13th company transfer decals and one CSM sprue. But I cant's remember the exact CSM sprue which was in it - did we have 5 CSM legs and thus there were only 5 loyalist legs available... For sure, there are CSM hands, bolters, heads, torsoes. But damn, I don't remember about legs - whether they were in the box, or I had to order them separately.... No other special weapon options aside from meltagun.

HelbrechtsSword Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Enough parts for 4 chaos marines, 6 marines and a space wolf sprue. ...Or open it and find out.

rodgambit Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Thanks for the info. They won't arrive for a few days and I was just curious what its contents were. I have about 30 13th company marines made up so far from the old SW stuff and a box of chaos I bought, but never from the actual grey slayers box. I'm good on troops now, so next I need to figure out how I want to transport them. Anyone have any opinions on drop pod vs. rhino vs. razor back?

Max_Dammit Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 depends on playstyle Cant help with that without more info :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/186895-grey-slayers-box/#findComment-2211196 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodgambit Posted December 10, 2009 Author Share Posted December 10, 2009 Well I generally like to run at least 3 packs of slayers (GH's) and I've been experimenting with maxxing them out, meaning pp/pw/melta/motw/standard and then i generally attach a wg with pp/pf to them. My thought is that troops are the only scoring units and if someone wipes them out then you can't score in 66% of the missions played, so I want to make them rock solid. I see the use of pods dropping down on the enemy, but having to footslog afterwards can be rough, then again rhinos are like coffins with 11 armour. I play against IG, eldar and other marines mostly. I also have a pack of scouts, 15 fen wolves and wulfen that I am converting into my TWC on 60mm bases. I have 3 AoBR dreads and plenty of AoBR termies.
