I Shun You! Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Ok I'm looking to start a space wolf army and the space wolves battle force is a great deal and it says it creates 10 gray hunters and 10 blood claws, I personally hate blood claws and I'm wondering if the box set allows the blood claws to be made into gray hunters. If not what extra pieces will I need to convert them, this is the first time I've ever posted her. So I'm not sure this is where I post this so thank you for your patience.

Brother Caleb Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I got two boxes and both of mine say that they can be made as either BC, GH, or WG. This is true. In any case, because the GHs are equipped with pistols and ccw, the few that you have to equip with pistols can still work as GHs.

I think that he means the old space wolf sprue, in the previous battle force. And yes You can make them either grey hunters, or blood claws or wolf guard for that matter. You may or may not need more bolters Also Why do you hate the blood claws? They are great for making your opponents big expensive elite unit or hq unit for several turns Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206372-space-wolf-box-set/#findComment-2461970 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillen Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 No they are not. When Grey Hunters are better all around and have a better range and gear. Blood Claws are too expensive for what they are now. If they were a point cheaper I could see using them. But they are not and they are only good on a charge and never hold an enemy more then 2 turns. How do you get serveral turns? I have only seen them crush something or die 3 Melee turns later.

Serunox Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 The current Battle Force basically contains two Space Wolves packs that you can buy seperatley.with the two in the battle force you can create grey hunters or blood claws with all of the bits,it contains enough bits to create both. Blood claws and grey hunters basically use the same war gear but the blood claws just have lower stats than the grey hunters.You can also make Wolf guard with it.But normall wolf guard without terminator armour but power armour. In the end its your own choice what you want to do with it.Do you want two grey hunter packs or two blood claw packs or one of each.Theres also alot of extra wolf bits and extra guns to convert normall space marine packs.

I Shun You! Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 Thank you the information was very helpful and with the speed you have responded i am most defiantly switching from my old form. Oh and I mean this battle force http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...otCatGameStyle=. and for why I hate blood claws the -1 to BS and WS are not in my opinion worth the one extra attack on the charge and the nasty special rule and for being the same points as a gray hunter.

Yes, You can do whatever You like with this box - 10 BC+10GH, 20GH or 20BC, or even lots - at least 4 WG in Power armour, not speaking about possible HQ conversions. You won't get any meltaguns and missile launchers however. Only plasma, bolters (including storm bolters), pistols and all types of power weapons.

I Shun You! Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 So the box set has no melta guns for the squads? What about flamers? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206372-space-wolf-box-set/#findComment-2462429 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CainTheHunter Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Bits stores are your best bet then. On Ebay? Or elsewhere on the net. Depending on Your location You can google some of them - for Europe/UK I've found Model bits UK to be quite good one.
