Yosef Hausakluif Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I have to admit, I am probably one of the onoly folks here that has not laid down my money yet for the last FW HH book, as I am waiting for the next one which will hopefully feature the IH's. I am curious those, I have seen the FW models for the Volkite weapons, and while they resemble slightly more sophisticated plasma rifles, is there a differecen between the Caliver and the Charger versions? Much thanks for the heads-up, as I am curious.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273062-volkite-caliver-vs-charger/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Well the the caliber has the same stats as a pulse rifle (s5 ap5 range 30) but has +1 strength and deflagrate to that profile and heavy 2. The charger is s5 but assault 2 and shorter range. There's even a pistol version and an even heavier version, the culverin, but as of yet don't have models to represent them. I would imagine the culverin to look somewhat like a plasma cannon judging by its look on the jet bike. Hope that helps Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273062-volkite-caliver-vs-charger/#findComment-3332134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosef Hausakluif Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks, I was curious as to how they stacked up to the 40-41st mill. Plasma weapons. I appreciate the response...

depthcharge12 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah I got 10 calivers for a tac support squad (troop choice) and the deflagrate rule causes another auto hit at the same profile if the foe suffers an unsaved wound Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/273062-volkite-caliver-vs-charger/#findComment-3332232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durfast Spiritwolf Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I've also got 10 calivers and the range is handy, but plasma is probably more useful against other marines.

Jim AMM realgenius Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Yeah, I view the Volkites as budget-priced Plasma weapons. I really like the range as well, it usually surprises my opponents and the number of shots from a 10-man squad can be effective even if you are snap shooting.
