masterchief4312 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 i bought my army from someone and i noticed that he had given the blood claws bolters and chainswords. i was wondering if this was legal because the codex says that they can only carry a bolt pistol.

Thunderhawk3015 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Counts as... And it looks cooler than all bolt pistols/chain swords. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206911-can-a-blood-claw-carry-a-bolter/#findComment-2467979 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wysten Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 In purely fluff, only those that have earned their Grey pelt can carry the holy boltgun. Yet most abandon it or have it taken off them when they ascend to Long Fangs/Wolf Guard.

jester262 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 in other words, rule wise, no. Blood claws cannot use bolters. As long as he played them as bolt pistols it's fine. But it could get a bit confusing seeing bolters on the models instead of bolt pistols.

Valerian Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 i bought my army from someone and i noticed that he had given the blood claws bolters and chainswords. i How do you know that they are specifically Blood Claws? Is it from the shoulder markings? Unless there are more than 10 in the same Pack, it is otherwise pretty hard to distinguish between Blood Claws and Grey Hunters anyway, so just make sure that they've got the correct upgrades as allowed by the codex army list and just call them/play them as Grey Hunters and you are good.

Requiem of the Wolf Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 As for why the Long Fangs give up the Bolt guns...It is simple... When you have a cannon...why waste space that could be used to carry more ammo on a peashooter.

When you have a cannon...why waste space that could be used to carry more ammo on a peashooter. True, but the Long Fangs should get to keep their Bolt Pistol as a sidearm. It wouldn't make a bit of difference in the game (1 attack in close combat still), but makes more sense "fluff-wise" - when the enemy is within strking distance it is time to drop the cannon and prepare to defend yourself in melee. Also, I find it highly annoying that the Squad Leader can get every kind of weapon but a Boltgun, what the hell?

Requiem of the Wolf Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well...for me I mount Chainsword Bayonet's to my Lascannons and Missile Launchers. It looks cooler that way anyways *grins* Besides...as long as I have ammo left there wont be any hand to hand fighting as far as I am concerned.

Why am I not surprised, at all, in any way, shape, form, or fashion, that Wreck would do that?
