Hfran Morkai Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Greetings brothers, Yesterday I took my first steps into Fantasy with Wood Elves (Certainly different to Space Wolves lol) and was looking at the models thinking that bows look pretty awesome. Now to the relevant part. I was thinking that thematically Wolf Scouts with bows would be quite interesting, in place of Bolters (I play Morkai and need at least one pack of each type...), they'd be tech bows with laser sights/scopes and made of some strong, flexible material. What do you think about Scouts with bows? Also any ideas on where to start with the conversions if I go ahead with it? Cheers.

Beef Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 perhaps try some of the repeater bolter dark eldar use as they look more modern than long bows, idea sound fine to me Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202262-scouts-with-bows/#findComment-2409908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decoy Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I think it'd be cool, but they'd have to be Snipers. Easily. I can't see Scouts using Bows as bolters, really... Sniper rifles, though... *shudder* You've given me an idea.

Then again Longbows have scary range of made right, and this is way in the future.

Shieldwall Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Absolutely: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EXbQfoTldXs/SgiZjq4XjTI/AAAAAAAAAGg/MOWWAKgQggw/s400/Turok-wallpapers-1496.jpg http://kprojekt.net/wp-content/photos/turok/reg/pg-turok-bow03.jpg However, I'll agree with Decoy about them beeing count-as sniper rifles.

RunningWolfFenris Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 You could say bolters if you made the arrows look "explodey" a la the first Turok game... gross Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/202262-scouts-with-bows/#findComment-2409975 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Or Crossbows.... theyre just small ballistas, and those could throw flaming pots as easily as javelins.

Branek Icefang Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 The beauty of Wolf Scouts is that they are some of our best troops (fluff-wise) because theyn are chosen from the ranks of grey hunters or wolf guard. A friend of mine actually converted 5 Wolf Scouts on Snowmobiles for me for a campaign we did. It was actually 5 Scout Snowmobiles, 5 Scout Tech-Archers and Wolf Lord in Scout Armor... that was an excellent Campaign! It was all special missions focusing on scouts. But seriously, Wolf Scouts would use whatever they could to accomplish their mission, bows, bombs, hunting traps, hell I can imagine wolf scouts doing an Avatar and riding dragon things onto a Chaos Gunship, dropping a krak grenade or two into the turbines and jumping off right before they blow.
