syvenn Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 okay so I can't seem to find this rule in the space wolves codex. I remember reading something about fenris pattern or fenrisian bolters having a special grip that allows them to shoot a bolter one handed like any other chapter firing it two handed, while wielding a melee weapon. I believe either grey hunters or blood claws could do this. I've checked over and over and over and I cannot find this rule at all. Do any space wolf players know what I'm talking about?

That is an old rule called True Grit. It doesn't exist anymore, but its not needed since Grey Hunters carry bolters, bolt pistols and chainswords anyway.

Lord Ragnarok Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Correct, what James describes is now often coined "Ultra Grit". It is far better than true grit.

Zincite Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 That is an old rule called True Grit. It doesn't exist anymore, but its not needed since Grey Hunters carry bolters, bolt pistols and chainswords anyway. This rule was included in the older 3rd Edition Space Wolves codex.

Freakiq Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Even though it doesn't exist anymore it can be referenced when explaining why your models don't have Bolters, Bolt Pistols and Close Combat weapons. The Bolt Pistol could easily represent them firing their Bolters one-handed while charging, just as the True Grit rule used to.

I don't think it had anything to do with Space wolves bolters, unless they were also selling them to the Deathguard.

Although there is that story about a Kill Team raiding a SW weapons cache because they got tired of having to hold their standard issue Bolters with both hands... :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/239815-special-rule-on-space-wolves-bolter/#findComment-2898091 Share on other sites More sharing options...
