spu00sed Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 My forge world order came today, why did I order 60 shoulder pads. Anyway I was checking over the spruces or miscasting (old habbites ie hard) and noticed that there are 4 combi weapons Plasma Flamer Melta And some wide bore barrel thing (bottom of the picture below) http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b337/Sdimbylow/Pre%20heresy%20Emperors%20Children/image.jpg Any help in identifying the last one?

skeletoro Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Any help in identifying the last one? I think it's an auxiliary grenade launcher. Not sure though.

heretic??ME?? Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 You would never have made out of the scout company if took a Krak grenade to the head to realise that was a GL. :D Still at least one suit of Cataphractii for a HQ though.

spu00sed Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Heresy era terminators don't have access to auxiliary grenade launcher, Nor is a volkite weapon available as a combi weapon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265407-cataphractii-special-weapon-question/#findComment-3234223 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor's Furor Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yeah but it's listed in the same section as the combi weapons, I don't know though, I don't know what else it can be seeing as everything is already listed, the Volkite Charger is the only thing I've not seen yet.

Dusktiger Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 it is an auxillary grenade launcher. they added it for those that use the model for normal 40k games.

spu00sed Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 So it turns a terminator combi bolter into a bolter with attached grenade launcher. Is that even an option for terminators Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/265407-cataphractii-special-weapon-question/#findComment-3234702 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tyler Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 A Legion Praetor in terminator armour can take a grenade harness, as can the Terminator Sergeant in a Terminator Bodyguard (Legion Command Squad) and a Legion Terminator Squad.

Emperor's Furor Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 A grenade harness is different to an auxiliary grenade launcher, the grenade harness is on the top of the "back" where as the auxiliary is usually fired from the hand. It looks like the auxiliary grenade launcher from the scout bikes as well.

Dusktiger Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 its probably in the kit for those that want to use this kit to make their terminator captain with C: Space Marine. for some reason, when they described what's in the kits, they explained it in the tartaros special weapons kit, but not the cataphractii kit.

It looks like the auxiliary grenade launcher from the scout bikes as well. Actually, the axuiliary grenade launcher comes in a number of forms, including the old school power fist attachment, as a harness, strapped to a weapon (i.e., combi-weapon), etc. It might be speculated that the grenade harness evolved (or was supplanted by) the auxiliary grenade launcher. The bit provides players with some flexibility, both in terms of using models for both standard (i.e., "modern") WH40K as well as during the Horus Heresy, filling options in two different lists.
