FLBERZERKER Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I just bought a squad of Plague Marines and am wondering why they didn't come with meltas. What's the best way to get some that will fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Wait Wait Wait. Are you saying finecast plaguemarines can't take the standard plastic CSM special weapons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Gw sell packs of meltaguns online, or head to a bits website... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Wait Wait Wait. Are you saying finecast plaguemarines can't take the standard plastic CSM special weapons? Â No I think he is saying that they didn't come with meltas - which they dont. :P Â Your best bet for meltas is to find some at a bitz site. Loyalist ones with GS works well as does the Chaos one.

(yeah yeah, I know exactly what they're doing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall_Brant Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 The reason for no meltas/flamers in the box is because GW use to sell Death Guard Havocs with meltas, plasma guns, and or flamers in blisters of two DG. I know this because I have one of those blisters and it came with a melta and a plasma gun. It would have been nice if they finecasted the havocs as well, but meh. Maybe they will in the future?

nurglez Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Those were the old deathguard havocs. Been discontinued for awhile (front half of the chest had the arms and special weapon on it all ready). Melta are usually rare on bits sites as most people want it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLBERZERKER Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 So basically I have to cut through pewter and attach a melta-gun that way? So what's the best way to cut through pewter?I also notice they don't come with a powerfist for the champ, what were they thinking? For record I play W.E and I.W, so I have never had to do this...

Marshall_Brant Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 GW still sells DG pauldrons. If you haven't tried this already, use standard CSM weapon arms for the special weapon PMs and with the DG pauldrons I think they would trun out alright.

mstersmith Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Not sure how fluffy you are playing but make a few with plasma. I have been finding plasma to be far more useful apposed to melta.My Oblits deal with armor my PM kill MEQ or termies with plasma or kill rhinos. I find double tapping Storm Ravens with Plasma is far more effective that using melta as most MEQ imperial armys negate the melta rule. Just my 2 cents. I for see this to continue as GW seems to want there fancy expensive tanks to last more than one turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possessed Marine Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I actually picked up a DG havoc squad only 1 1/2 years ago at a small hobby shop. It was a good day. Point is it's still possible to find old kits like that, in small independent stores. One of my friends got a 3rd edition orks battleforce about a month before I picked up the havocs.
