Captain Laavain Sunder Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Hey guys, just started my space wolf army and im loving it! Just a few questions though I recently brought the battleforce and i know you can make the marines into bloodclaws, grey hunters, and wolf guard. Aside from the close combat weapon and bolt pistol, how do i differentiate the 3 different units? do i give grey hunters the bolters and bloodclaws the CCW? but then what makes wolf guard any different? Any advice will be greatly apprecitated as im quite new to Wolves, ive only had the new codex 2 days Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249691-new-to-the-pack/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Laavain Sunder Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks for the rapid reply, is there any indication to which markings are for what unit? and does that mean i should mix bolter and CCW in the grey hunter packs?

Forté Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Welcome to the Fang. Best advice I can give is to absorb your codex and resist the temptation to glue. All the answers are in that tome. Some even come with pictures :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249691-new-to-the-pack/#findComment-3024925 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Laavain Sunder Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 TBH i went off Grey knights due to them only having the 1 kit to make several units, and the only difference was painting them differently, it bugged me, especially since i struggle to find time to fully paint all my armies, But say i was to paint them all, using the above mentioned markings, would i still be able to say give my grey hunters all bolters and still count them as having a CCW, and give my bloodclaws and wolf guard the CCW and pistols and paint them differently?

Khine Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 If you want visual differences between the Grey hunters and Blood claws, i found that Using a combination of Boltguns with either a bolt pistol or a CCW for the Grey hunters sets them apart from the blood claws who can only use Boltpistol/CCW. You could always use some of the scout CCW on the bloodclaws if you really wanted a bit more difference or find weapon arm bits from other humanoid ( even fantasy) armies. Warriors of chaos bits spring to mind. Another thing that you could do is represent the difference in the use of only giving grey hunters thick Bearded/bald heads or helmets and giving the bloodclaws the more feral youthful looking cuts. Oh and welcome to the Fang brother! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249691-new-to-the-pack/#findComment-3025022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
