Ghent Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Hoping someone can settle this for me, since my friend insists I'm doing it wrong: If I have a unit of Grey Hunters with a melta gun, can the Grey Hunter with the melta gun also have Mark of the Wulfen. I say yes, and regularly do this since the melta gun is the last one I wind up allocating a wound to. My friend insists that I cannot do that, because it says "One Grey Hunter can replace bolter with *insert special weapon*" and "One Grey Hunter may take MotW". He claims that means that it has to be separate units. I don't see where he is getting that from and asked him where it says I cannot give one Grey Hunter a special weapon and MotW.

G. A. K. Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 no where does it say you can't, I've used a list with 10 Ghs and thaken two meltas, one of which I gave the standard to just for wound allocation too. like you said it only says how many total grey hunters can have the weapon/upgrade not which ones.

Nrthstar Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 You can definitely do it. It does not say you can take wulfen OR a melta. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244973-motw-rule-question/#findComment-2962762 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travic Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 If you put MOTW on the meltagun unit that leaves you room if you choose to, to take another unit or drop down a unit in your grey hunter pack. In my case I wouldnt put MOTW on my meltagun due to the fact that I can allocate wounds around. So say you dont need to use your meltagun for a tank anymore or something big and bulky you can say put a wound on him first before you touch your wolfen. I know after my Rhino carrying my melta/banner/wolfen combo pops the wolfen/rp/pf is always the last thing I put wounds on. But if you put the wolfen on the meltagun guy and say ADDED a unit your only adding 1 extra attack. So I think in theory it would be better to have an individual unit for the point cost if you can afford it so you can allocate wounds around. The idea can work in reverse too were you need the meltagun to instakill something versus the extra attacks from the wolfen. I could be wrong though but thats how I have been doing it Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244973-motw-rule-question/#findComment-2962789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksad Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 when using scouts, I lways put the MotW on the meltabearer. nowhere does it say you can't do that.

MalachiOfRuss Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 It can be done, but it carries a risk. Although that model may be the last one that you allocate wounds to, there will be times that you have to allocate a wound there and you run the extreme risk of losing the model with both "upgrades" in a single roll.

Blacksad Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 true, but (and this is specificaly for scouts) it's the best way to get the most out of your unit. The only model that loses an attack in CC (the meltabearer) gets a minimum of 2 ty to the MotW Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244973-motw-rule-question/#findComment-2963558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and I'm fine with that. I just wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly.
