Ullyxes Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Hello all, I am starting a Space Wolves army and I want to make sure that I'm upgrading my Grey Hunters within the rules. The upgrades that I want to take for a 10 man squad are Mark of the Wulfen, Wolf Standard, Power Weapon and two Melta Guns. Can I give one model more than one upgrade (ie. a Grey Hunter with a MotW and a Wolf Standard) or am I limited to one upgrade per one model? The rules seem pretty clear to me, meaning that you can stack the upgrades, but I want to make sure before I start sticking stuff together. For those without the Codex on hand, the rules are roughly: You can replace a bolter with a melta gun You can replace a close combat weapon with a power weapon One model may have the Wolf Standard One model may have the MotW Thanks for any help.

Grey Mage Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yes, you can. You could in fact have a single model who has a meltagun, a powerweapon, and the wolf standard. However! If he dies you lose all three. Personally as a long time player I advise you to spread them out just about all the time, however theres nothing against the rules to do it the way you are talking about.

Ullyxes Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Thanks. I found the wording fairly clear but I know that GW doesn't write their rules in the most technical style. I did not want to have to rip my minis apart to conform to the rules.

LPetersson Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Bear in mind also, that you could give a power weapon to the MoW model, but then you lose the power weapon functionality...

Gideon999 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Also if you mathhammer it, the mark of the wulfen is superior to the power weapon overall. I dont even run a power weapon on my squads and have never felt its lack. You may want to include a power fist though, (and the common view is that a wolf guard squad leader is best for this since he has 2 base attacks and can take a combi-melta as well).

Grey Mage Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Gideon, this isnt the place to discuss tactics- you can bring that up in the SW forum. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248342-grey-hunters-upgrades/#findComment-3021701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
