Sven Bloodskull Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I don't know if anyone has posted about this before, or even wether this is the right place to post this about, but gosh darnit, i want to post about it! :lol: So, 3 a 4 months ago, i decide i want to build a shooty space wolves list. Naturally, this list comprimises of a large quantity of missile toting long fangs. But alas, the missile launcher is at the moment the most rare of weapons (correct me if im wrong here), only being sold in devastator and tactical squad boxes (again, correct me if im wrong). The only other ways to get them was to to either have some bitz yourself, buy the bitz (which is impossible because they are never in stock :)) or convert some. So, that project was put on a hold... until a few days ago, when i found this: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-4000...APONS-PACK.html Now, not only are these missile launchers more available and cheaper (not cheaper than buying the bitz, but again, they are never in stock <_< ), but they are also AWESOME! :lol: and include awesome meltaguns and flamers! So, i am ordering 8 of these packs, and finally fullfilling my dream of defeating the enemies of the all-father by blasting the everloving snot out of them :D An ale for all! Sven Bloodskull p.s. i don't if this solves any of you guys missile launcher crisis, but it did solve mine ^_^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213029-the-missile-launcher-crisis-is-solved/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blarmb Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think the nicest thing about them is the variety they add. MLs are great, but can get a bit bland model wise. With these you could have one Long Fang in a pack with that, one with the Tactical Launcher and one with the devastator launcher. That means you only need to go converting or digging for old parts if you want every member of a pack to be unique.

Marshal Wilhelm Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Going old school with the Rogue Trader ML, nice! On 3++ a guy has started a Wolf army and has used IG Missile Launcher for his Fangs pack. Interesting.

Sven Bloodskull Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Going old school with the Rogue Trader ML, nice! Yes, and it also fits my great companies fluff of being a pre-herest company emerging from the warp (and stealing a crapload of razorbacks from the fang on fenris :D ) Sven Bloodskull Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213029-the-missile-launcher-crisis-is-solved/#findComment-2534534 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 An alternative could be to use plastic IG launchers. They should be fairly cheap via various bits sites. Here's a link to how they look. Nevermind, Marshal Wilhelm already mentioned them. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/213029-the-missile-launcher-crisis-is-solved/#findComment-2534643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfire Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Ugh, that brown paint job is hideous. Makes them look like they were molded from turds.

Tsavong Lah Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Agreed. He did a good job with the modeling and he's obviously a great painter, but that color scheme makes me very sad.

MaveriK Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Gathering of the next great huntWar Wolves of Fenris. I pledge the following; 1 Rune Priestess, 1 Dreadnought, 2 Long Fangs (Missile Launchers) http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/WarWolves%20WIP/DSC03004.jpghttp://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/WarWolves%20WIP/DSC03005.jpg WIP: two Long Fangs with missile launchers http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/WarWolves%20WIP/DSC03006.jpghttp://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/WarWolves%20WIP/DSC03007.jpg WIP: War Wolves Rune Priestess , War Wolves Dreadnought with twin linked mounted heavy bolters, along with a mix of weapons. Some might argue about the idea of a Rune Priestess, I say who cares.. it's my army! and it goes with my armies fluff. Since when did Space Wolves ever go by the book? I think the best way I can explain my reasons as to why I have one is best summed up in this quote "because only spartan women, give birth to real men" - Queen Gordo, 300. That being said, because only the women of Fenris, give birth to real warriors worthy of the FANG.Gathering of the next great hunt: War Wolves of Fenris. pledge completed! http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/WarWolves%20WIP/DSC03099.jpg The twins, Alrek and Eirík http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/WarWolves%20WIP/DSC03101.jpg The twins, Alrek and Eirík http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/WarWolves%20WIP/DSC03092.jpg Skadi, She Wolf, Rune Priestess of the FANG http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/forum%20post/GreatHuntVow3.jpg Freyr the Longsword HOW I SPENT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r35/Azn_MaveriK/n625165583_1541209_2449.jpg Got my Codex, Space Wolves Pack, Njal Stormcaller and Wolf Guard Terminators 3days ago. Love the smell of a new book, kinda like new car smell LMAO I spent the morning with the wife-to-be, went paint balling with some friends *for Russ* spent time reading through and assembling the new plastics.. and to end my perfect day, currently watching the Edmonton Oilers vs Calgary Flames hockey game with the wife-to-be, drinking beer. I did the same thing last year with one of my Long Fangs. It was easy, and a cheap alternative.

Bulweih Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 That's right!-The helmet variant is bad, but the He-Man head variant (which was obviously wip) is far, far worse. And that colour scheme is just........brown, urgh!?

wolfpack Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I concur with my Brothers...although some of his modeling is good ( i especially found the CML conversions interesting) the brown paint and lack of helmet-less warriors takes away from the army...the painting is good...but would have been better served on a different chapter...perhaps Griffs or a gaurd unit...DEFINITELY NOT WOLVES...

Taeken Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Damn that brown is ugly. Though he does have some nice painting skills I will give him that. The IG missles are a good idea to ad variety, but I just dont think they look right on SM's. Why would they need a blast shield? And the ML's look a bit long for the job. Heck, today's real life ML's arent that long.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I think he did have to paint his entire army in a week. I'm sure he'd have done better with more time.

Blarmb Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Gruh. What do missile spammers do when AV 14 comes a-knockin? 5 Point Meltas on the Troop Choices? Not like there is any other tool for the job at range really, other than a speeder mounted-MM perhaps. Given the cost/shot most places you can buy a Lascannon makes them inefficient against AV 14 anyway. Even then, against anything other than a Landraider having shots from all over the board means you're probably going to be hitting something other AV14. Things only have one front ya know.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Fifth edition made melta the tool for breaching armour. Missile launchers do most of anything you'd need lascannon for at a cheaper rate.
