Zzo Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 You could get them from a tac marine box (only has 1 though) or buy the pewter melta set from GWs catalog.

postal105 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 well if you only want 1 or 2 you can always get the Space Wolves Accessories Frame that the sell for $9.90 each in the space wolf's bits section on the GW web page and you also get some other bits on the sprue as well.

rodnan Posted February 5, 2011 Author Share Posted February 5, 2011 Awesome! Didn't realize GW sold them in a pack of 5. Thanks! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221587-no-melta-in-the-space-wolf-box/#findComment-2647451 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freman Bloodglaive Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 If you grab the Black Templar upgrade sprue, the box contains two plasma, two melta and two flamer. Something GW actually got right. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221587-no-melta-in-the-space-wolf-box/#findComment-2647495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 You can also get the old sw sprue from GW. The wolfy bits are still good so not a complete waste just to get the melta.

jester262 Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I second getting the metal ones from gw. 5 for 8 bucks is a steal compared to what you'd pay at battlewagon bits Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221587-no-melta-in-the-space-wolf-box/#findComment-2647762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Awesome! Didn't realize GW sold them in a pack of 5. Thanks! This is one of the few times GW sells something for a great price that beats everyone else (the fact that they beat battlewagon bits is not impressive considering how overpriced that place is). Even if you don't need 5, you can trade/sell the others since most people want them.

The Son of Russ Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Thankyou very much i wanted to get some melta guns to replace my scouts bolt pistols, so they look one handed. TY! Is there a sprue for extra heavy weapons? I got a list i am working to build, and they have 2 Lascannons and 3 Heavy bolters Problem is with the devastator box only comes with 2 heavy bolters I just need one more heh Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221587-no-melta-in-the-space-wolf-box/#findComment-2648044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to be metal ones in the previous edition, and they are still available on e-bay - but I'd rather try to find bits from Devastator box.

Valhalla Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Another option to consider to use the new bolter with the wolf head as a melta/plasma gun. I like it because it allows me flexibility in my list design.

Freman Bloodglaive Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 You can get the older metal heavy bolter from GW under Space Marines.

CainTheHunter Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 You can get the older metal heavy bolter from GW under Space Marines. 15 USD for HB??? That's almost 1/2 of the new plastic Dev box... These things were not so expensive in the past. If You are in UK or somewhere in Europe, try some of the bits sites - Model bits Uk for example. They have the plastic HB and backpack for 3 GBP in total.

MaveriK Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 @CainTheHunter, its sad I know! when I first started playing 40K, blisters where only $8.00! characters like Ragnar were between $8.00 to $10.00. Then a few years would pass and HQ choices along with heroes like Ragnar became $12.00 to $18.00 and now they are between $25.00 to $30.00 ridiculous hey?! the only difference now is the quality of work, and plastics that GW puts out... oh wait, they haven't redone Ragnar, Ulrik or Logan :blush: it's just like my old boss once said to me, "it's not a hobby, if it's not expensive" LOL I second getting the metal ones from gw. 5 for 8 bucks is a steal compared to what you'd pay at battlewagon bits Agreed! it's a better deal for melta hungry wolves Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221587-no-melta-in-the-space-wolf-box/#findComment-2648520 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulmanMN Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 Just a thought, the Forge World space marine special weapons pack gives you 2 melta, 2 flamer and 2 missile lainchers for about £10. I got a few sets, sorted me right out. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/221587-no-melta-in-the-space-wolf-box/#findComment-2648623 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made two squads of Long Fangs from one box. The Dev kit is a steal, it's loaded to to the gills with heavy weapons. Two Heavy Bolters, Two lascannons, Two plasma cannons, one multi-melta and one missile launcher? Holy crap man. I mixed all that up with an old metal Long Fang kit and I've now got more Long Fangs than I know what to do with (Two extra at all times).

Roland Durendal Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I custom made mine using the Multi-Meltas from some LF's (and one from a LRC I'm not using), and a boltgun. Simply, trim the barrel of the MM from MM, trim some of the pipes. wires, gauges from the MM. Trim the barrel from the bolter. Glue the MM barrel where the bolter barrel use to be. glue on some pipes, wire,s gauges where you feel it would fit best. Let it settle and voila! Home made meltagun. I'll have pics of mine shortly on 3++ Is the New Black once I finish my squad. And if you want to make Combi-Meltas....do everything the same, except you'll have to trim the bolter barrel and move it up higher (you'll have to trim the little boltgun nub above the barrel and place the barrel there). Then it's a matter of gluing the melta barrel at the bottom (at the end of the hand guards basically), adding some piping, tubing, gauges from the MM, and boom! Combi-melat.

Is this the $30 box? Because that's still a bit steep, compared to other options.
