Brother Neyo Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 1. Can I give a regular tactical marine a stalker bolter, I couldn't find it in our codex so I was curious 2. Thanks to gunslinger I can dual-wield melta pistols, but can I say give my death company two chain swords 3. Is there any way I can make my snipers a little tougher, aside from FNP? (I mean like better armour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you can't strictly do this, nothing stops you from modeling them as such, as bolt pistol and CCW have the same effect in close combat. 3. Camo Cloaks and cover brother.

Brother Neyo Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Thank you brother! But I was hoping that I could give 10 death company 20 chainswords, but a man can dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deamons Redeemer Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 20 chsw would be awesome :D i'm in for it, this would be a subject to go in the new BA dex !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelloid Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Since they are compelled to come bolter + chainsword or bolt pistol and chainsword, you could model deathcompany with 2 chainswords, but you'd need to also represent their other armament somehow. So the real problem with the idea is that the double chainsword is ambiguous as to what they actually have. But if you put pistol holsters on all their legs, then it becomes obvious what their armament is. Whereas you could model DC with 2x bolt pistol, and because that's not even an option its obvious that they're bolt pistol and chainsword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deamons Redeemer Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 or just model them withe a chSW and boltpistol, just add a chainsword bayonet to the pistol and tadaaaa, two chsw and a pistol ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If your talking about a stalker bolter im assuming you have played the space marine computer game? Any marine can have a stalker bolter model wise, IIRC its just a bolter with a scope that fires special rounds. Basicly if you model one with a scope and/or a custom barrel youve got a stalker bolter :) in game it doesent do anything though.. Like wolf_pack said Telion is the only one who has rules and the model for it. Theres nothing stopping you from modelling two pistols or close combat weapons on a model just so long as you renember they still are pistol+chainsword in the game. The only dual pistol load out you can have is bolt pistol + plasma/ifernus pistol or taking 2 plasma/infernus pistols (prettty pricey though...) and its not all THAT effective in the game to be honest... Ive got a plasmapistol/boltpistol tactical sargeant myself but never played him yet for the price though id call it a expensive combi weapon that can fire more then once. Range is more limited to. But oh boy, does the model look bad ass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myxx Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Not to hi-jack the thread but I have a question about the Gunslinger rule. Under 5th edition, I modeled 3 of my assault marines with dual BPs, Vet with BP/PP, and Sgt. with PP/PW. They used to just be BP+CCW. How does that work with the Gunslinger rule? My reading says that the Vet and the Sgt are the only ones that can actually have the extra shooting attack, as the other assault marines don't actually have an option to replace their chainsword with a different pistol.

Demoulius Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Correct. You cant give him 2 pistols if you dont got the option to give him a 2nd one. In that case explain to your opponent that the model just looks bad ass Veterans and sergeants on the other hand CAN take a (extra) pistol so in that case the chainsword would be replaced :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memento Of Prospero Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 all my drop pod sargeants have 2 plasma pistols. best investment ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digsy Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I have most of my death guard dual armed with chain swords, but I always make sure the bolt pistol is represented. Dual chainswords just for the look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
