Brother Caleb Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I've heard that the best way to get rocket launchers is the standard tac squad pack, but what's the best way to get a hold of meltaguns and flamers? Are they also in the tac squad pack? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207398-acquiring-meltaguns/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

HERO Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The SW sprue has one. I bought 8 sprues for the backpacks, the grey pelts and the plastic Meltas. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207398-acquiring-meltaguns/#findComment-2473889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurph Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 GW also has a pack of meltaguns you can order through their site. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/207398-acquiring-meltaguns/#findComment-2473893 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The Tactical Squad comes with a Melta Gun, Flamer, Plasma Gun and Missile Launcher. Definitely a good buy for mixing in with a Wolf Pack box so you don't have to overwolf your models. (I prefer a much cleaner look with WG getting the really interesting pieces.)

Valerian Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The SW sprue has one. I bought 8 sprues for the backpacks, the grey pelts and the plastic Meltas. Note that he's talking about the old sprue (3rd Edition era), not the new ones that come in the Pack. I've used the Rogue Market to succesfully trade bitz, too.

V I find it ironic, for years SW players said "how will I get the plasma guns I need... now, or prayers have been answered and the newer crop asks "how will I ever find enough meltaguns?"

Grey Mage Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 there is a melta on the new bitz sprue What are you talking about? GW sells the old bitz sprue we had in our GH/BC boxes as its own thing now, and he probly thinks that this is "new" because it didnt appear tell several months after our most recent codex came out.

That is just a repacked sprue from the old 3rd Edition era boxed set, which is what we were already suggesting above. It isn't new at all, just available separately now.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Sadly, I had to purchase metal melta guns from GW's side directly. 5 for 6 or 7 bucks plus shipping I think.

I got a codex with it too, so maybe I didn't pay shipping. Either way, if melta is what is needed, then a pack purely made up of meltas, is a good idea.
