swampyseifer Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Hey all... Im thinking of having an entire squad of halberd wielding marines...not grey knights...tho nemesis halberds on other men are fine. Just wondering if anyone knows of any other squads/men that cone with halberds. also any suggestions for a squad to covert to using them?

No Foes Remain Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 You could use them as Relic Blades for a command squad. Thats what I have planned for myself but I was thinking of attaching bolters to them or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemal Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 Phoenix Guards are all equipped with halberds and are plastic. Same with Empire State Troopers - loads of weapons options including halberds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arikel Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1570033 Those might work if you want something aprat from grey knight ones. In a space marine army they could be relic blades. Honor Guard are the only sqaud that comes to mind where all 10 guys can be tricked out with em though. They could work as frost blades for space wolves or blades encarmine(?) for blood angels maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'm just about to release this set, it's at the casters right now. Once I get the casts in hand I'll paint up a set and put proper pics up. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/spartan_set.jpg Edit: Webhost problems. Pic will go live at some point later.

crandall87 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 That spear set looks awesome. You could try the halberds that Scibor and Maxmini do too. The Sevrin Loth kit from Forgeworld has some nice relic blades too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampyseifer Posted October 19, 2011 Author Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks for the ideas...the chaos warrior halberds look good and so do the Phoenix Guard. The Empire troops are a bit basic. The honour guard look a little OTT tbh (not sure I can get them without Marneus "bling bling" Calgar anyway), I'm really not sure what men.....I did wonder about LOTD, theyre not too bad and if I file off some of the more LOTD-esque stuff like the ribs on the chest armor then they could do. I wondered maybe about getting some mark 6 "corvus" men from FW and putting prettying them up a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3rman Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yay! I need halberds for my Storm Lords (Since White Scars use them), and now I know where to find some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arikel Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Honour guard get unlocked with any chapter master, So calgar, pedro or a generic guy. Calgar lets you take up to 3 squads of em though, but to fit 3 sqauds of honour guard in you are looking at mega point sizes. If you don't mind them being just power weapons, vanguard can all be equipped with them(make one special for their sarge to have a relic blade), as well as pretty much any regular sarge.

Kierdale Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Couldn't you use the squad as Vanguard, as they can have power weapons (simply call them `power halberds`)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampyseifer Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 What I mean is I dont think you can buy the honour guard squad without buying Mr Calgar. Anyway, like I said they're a little over the top for my purposes... I'm already working on a full dual-wielding LC vanguard squad anyway...so I'd rather not use them again. A friend of mine suggested a nice idea...a bike squadron, all wielding halberds. So at the moment I'm looking into that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Foes Remain Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Any chapter master (named and non-named) can have honour guard, Calgar can just have three though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hemal Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 You can see about e-bay, normally be able to pick them up cheapish. Also some trading/bartering sites may have these seperately. My advice would be to use the forgeworld pieces or kit bash using the Dark ANgels, Templars, Blood Angels Sanguinary guard etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instant honour guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
