Perpetual Dawn Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hi all, Just pricing up some wolf termies but I noticed the cyclone launcher is part of the generic termies, not the SW pack.. Looking for alternatives I saw the missile pods from forge world (http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/Imperial_Navy/AIRCRAFT-MULTIPLE-ROCKET-PODS.html). Does anyone have these? Could I be cheeky and ask if anyone has one and a termie, if they could take a photo of the two together to see if the proportions are right. I was thinking one per termie on the shoulder, possibly magnetised. If anyone has any other alternatives that are a bit more cost effective that would be cool.

Blacksad Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 the missile launchers from regular droppods work, and while I haven't seen it, I've heard the missile launchers for land speeders work well too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237345-wolf-terminators-with-cyclone-launchers/#findComment-2861898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrne Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I have taken the chaos vehile launchers (don´t remember the name, havoc?) they fit well and look cool, and have multi barrels. :D There might be a lot of chaos player who have these, but don´t use them.

Wulfebane Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 You can also try eBay for the actual cyclone bits, or, if you're in America, try here: http://www.thewarstore.com/product27050.html Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237345-wolf-terminators-with-cyclone-launchers/#findComment-2862212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perpetual Dawn Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks all, I did scour ebay and the like for bits and am on the look out frequently :D I have just remembered my Tau bits will have the SMS and I wont be short of drop pod missile launchers so they look like a good option!

Smart buying eliminates getting housed too badly. 1xSW WGTDA 1xSM TDA Is the best formula for anyone trying to do a LoganWing. You get the extra heavy weapon bits and the SW WGTDA is already fairly loaded with assault weapons.

You get the extra heavy weapon bits and the SW WGTDA is already fairly loaded with assault weapons. I'd agree w/ this, plus the extra storm bolters & power fists are useful to have as well, as is the extra power weapon. However, the drop pod missile launcher works well as a cyclone ML, that's what I used for my Imperial Fists.

MalachiOfRuss Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yeah, that's a nasty bit. Combi-meltas seem to be more available than that Cyclone Missile Launcher.

MaveriK Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 the missile launchers from regular droppods work, and while I haven't seen it, I've heard the missile launchers for land speeders work well too Aye, they work but in IMHO they look like :down:, only because it doesn't fit and look right with the Terminator body. Try to explain to me why the launcher is bigger than the entire body itself? I realize tactical dreadnought armour is suppose to be stronger and heavier than normal space marine armour. But it's kinda whack, over the top and lazy converting. There are plenty of better ways to do it, maybe I'll do a how-to in my thread one of these days.

Tsavong Lah Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think the IG Sentinel missile pods look the best, and they're probably the cheapest option out of the bunch since almost nobody uses them.

KGatch113 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 If you are going to not get the cyclone launchers and you don't want to make the terminators look ghetto and amateurish, what I could do is take a small base, take some rod or small wooden dowel or even a piece of sprue, and mount the sentinel/drop pod/typhoon missile launcher on it, and just put it next to the terminator. It makes for an interesting look and your terminator won't look it was made by Homer Simpson.

Adding a second (and innocuous) base to the tabletop is asking for trouble. Besides that, we're not the Tau or IG. We don't need nor want drones or artillery teams. Worst case scenario, model the terminator as having recently ripped the missile silo off a crashed typhoon or drop pod (dangling wires and all) and haul that sucker into battle gripped in both hands like a heavy weapon aughta be!

Silverwolf Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Wulfebane! Your a genius...

I can see it work on bolters as their flushed, but storm bolters are boxy. Anyway, on a side note: do people prefer having chainfist, wolf claw or power fist with their cyclone termis? I've always just went with the power fist or occasional wolf claw Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/237345-wolf-terminators-with-cyclone-launchers/#findComment-2865358 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always just went with the power fist or occasional wolf claw Depends on their role. If I'm seconding them to Long Fangs as Pack Leaders, I try an keep them cheap by leaving them with Stormbolter/Power weapon. If I'm leaving them in the Guard pack, I might give them Wolf claws but no more.

I've always just went with the power fist or occasional wolf claw I generally prefer my assault cannon to the cyclone, but on the occasion I get enough WG to allow a 2nd special weapon, my cyclone usually stands with one of my Long Fang packs and doesn't see much (if any) HtH combat, so I prefer giving him the cheapest option available.

KGatch113 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 I like the idea of ripping off someone's launchers and using them...but army wide...again, it looks like Homer Simpson. Sometimes you just have to pony up and pay for the bit to make your army look right. And again, there is nothing wrong with the launcher being separate. I mean, we're playing a game were space marines ride giant wolves....
