chaplain belisarius Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 hi guys, i was looking at the iron warriors warsmith model and came up with the following equipment- bolt pistol, bolter/melta, twin lightning claws (servo arm and claw arm counts as), mark of tzeetch (counts as, is really a forcefield!). I can actually give him all this wargear? no one has a problem with me using counts as (am still paying for the items...) sorry if its a bit of a silly question but it looks a bit too good to be true!

JamesI Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Its legal in the current Codex. Not sure it will be legal when Chaos gets updated (this combo was legal for BA in our PDF codex and is not legal now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cpt. Postumus Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yes, but the Bolt Pistol doesn't add an extra attack as you already have the Lightning Claws. I always wondered how a figure with twin claws works a Bolter... ;) Postumus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaplain belisarius Posted July 22, 2010 Author Share Posted July 22, 2010 im using the warsmith model (one lc is the claw hand and the other is his servo arm backpack, leaving a hand holding the bolter/melta...) how does a guy with twin lc handle a bolter...im thinking of that now!!!

I shaved off the "thumb" claw on 2 lightning claws and stuck 2 bolt pistols on. The reason I put on 2 is because it would really be a pain in the rear to reload such a thing. "First Acolyte, come and reload me!!!" Of course in game rules, it doesn't add in any added benefit to have 2 guns, just an aesthetic appeal.

Xeonic Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I play my warsmith model as an unmarked lord with a daemon weapon and combi-melta. The added attacks and strength of course come from the bionic claw and servo arm. :P Lightning claws make sense though, and if it's legal under the codex, go for it. I always imagined a person with actual twin lightning claws would mount their ranged weapon on the back of their gauntlet or something. For Iron Warriors it's easy to justify a weapon on a servo arm of some sort... Some of my squads have elaborate mounts for certain special weapons(such as the flamer borrowed from a techmarine servo harness, or hands free melta) so the models can be set up with BP+CCW in hand and a special weapon. ;) Of course just as easily the CCW and/or bolt pistol could be servo arm mounted...

I always wondered how a figure with twin claws works a Bolter... :P Postumus I always liked to think the claws retracted back into the gauntlet when using the gun, or that they were just glove-mounted much like Abbadon's.

Skyzerker Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 so i can give my lord all this wargear? sweet...:lol: True, but having that BP allows for that shot before charging into combat, whereas shooting the combi-bolter would be shooting with a rapid fire weapon, and not allowing him to charge that turn. Handy little combo to have... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
