Ethzor Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Was looking through the picture part of the codex today and saw something I found strange. On page 76 in our codex there is a scout with a stormbolter and the description says that it is a scout with a stormbolter, have anyone seen this? Do you think our scout's was supposed to be able to take a stormbolter? If we could, would you take it? I think I would, that would say if it didn't take up the melta-spot. Defenetly if it would be like "Two scouts may take" for 5 pts. I think I could swallow 10 pts... Tell me what you think!

MalachiOfRuss Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Yeah, somewhere the was a mis-communication with the modeling/photography department where "Heavy Bolter" got changed to "Storm Bolter."

Ethzor Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Ah! Okey thanks for the clarification! Still a nerd can dream can't it? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248735-wolf-scout-equipment/#findComment-3011937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfebane Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Yeah, somewhere the was a mis-communication with the modeling/photography department where "Heavy Bolter" got changed to "Storm Bolter." I don't see where the mis-communication is. It is most definitely a storm bolter being wielded. http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l7/Wulfebane/CodexSpaceWolves5thEd.jpg Not legal, yes. But it's labelled correctly. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248735-wolf-scout-equipment/#findComment-3011982 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the miscommunication. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248735-wolf-scout-equipment/#findComment-3012523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arez Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Yeah, somewhere the was a mis-communication with the modeling/photography department where "Heavy Bolter" got changed to "Storm Bolter." Maybe they think that a storm bolter is a scouts heavy bolter?

Grey Mage Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Its someones cool conversion. Perhaps during playtesting it was available as a special weapon, like plasma pistols... who knows? A friend of mine still has an IG squad with stormbolters, from years ago when they could use them.... *shrugs* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/248735-wolf-scout-equipment/#findComment-3012953 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine still has an IG squad with stormbolters, from years ago when they could use them.... *shrugs* I was absent from the game for pretty much all of 4th Edition, so unless it was mentioned there, the only possibility would be through in-house playtesting, because it's not in the 2E, 3E, or 5E codices. Though personally, I'd love to see this become reality for aesthetics alone. I was a big fan of seeing those combat shotguns on scouts back in 3E due to that one wolf scout image, despite them sucking, so I'm sad they're no longer an option either.

I occassionally run mine with combat shotguns - only at home though - and I think that in-house games would allow SBs without too much inconveniance.
