mactire Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Greetings brothers, i'm nearly finished all the troop count for my GC (still have loads of transports and HQ's to do), and am also starting to get tired of shadow grey/ the fang. Therefore in the new year i'm hoping to make a start on my second GC using a darker grey colour, in part because of some of the fantastic models on this forum. This is where you come in, as I've stated before I dont game at all and probably never will, so as you may have seen some of my weapon load-outs are non codex compliant/rule of cool. However I'm starting to get in a rut trying to pick weapons for my hunter and claw packs so that is when I got this idea. I would like, as a way of thanks to the members of this forum for all their help and advice and for basically keeping it going and me at times, for you to pick the load-outs for me. I would name the models after the choosers and put pics up here on the site, hopefully the more senior members and those who have done us proud in the recent ETL's will come forward to fill the ranks of GH, newer members will make BC rank. I will base this on date joined and posts made. I will be working from new tac squad,old tac squad, SW pack, SW accessory sprue,assault, scout,some dev weps, new stern and vanguard bits, so feel free to pick what you like from weapons,heads,helms,torso,legs and backpacks. I will base it on first come - first served, GH's then BC's. Remember I said I dont game so if you want a missle launcher with a sniper rifle then go ahead if I have them I'll model and paint them. Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283852-a-call-to-arms-or-to-be-armed/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karack Blackstone Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hail, OP. A thought for you: perhaps, just for the sake of it, you might want at least one HQ and two Troops choices as playable, just in case you ever do decide to get into the game playing side of Warhammer 40,000? Otherwise, along those lines listed: Wolf Priest Wolf Helm Wolf Skull Front Torso Normal Rear Torso Right Shoulder Pad Wolf Fur Left Shoulder Pad Any Normal Jump Pack Wolf Pelt Legs Left Arm Bolt Pistol Right Arm - Thunder Hammer cut off just above the power plate, glue on or pin the SW backpack skull with wings stand up decoration bit. Makes one fully playable Wolf Priest right out of the SW PA Pack box.

Russ Brother 92 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Hail Brother, I wish I had the patience you do - I've not yet finished my HQs let alone my Troops. I'll put in for a GH (I'm a young one so brown/black hair with a few streaks of grey). - Front Torso w/ Runes and crossed swords (at waist). - plain back torso. - wolf skull shoulder pad. - studded shoulder pad. - legs w/ runes across them. - combi-melta strapped across (back or front). - sheathed sword at waist. - bearded axe in right hand, hanging down w/ axe head closest to the ground/base (2-handed axe, cut at the higher hand, pin/glue to beneath the power pack). - 2 melta bombs in left hand (clip the handles off both, 'bind' w/ thin GS strap and glue into an open palm). - wolf skull/bones backpack. Hope that's all okay brother - happy to give better/more in-depth instructions but it's your party :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/283852-a-call-to-arms-or-to-be-armed/#findComment-3532260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mactire Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 Good to have you guys on board and thanks for the replies. As per the original post I'm only doing PA Grey Hunters for the moment ( Blood Claws if the numbers build up) Karack, as 1st reply I'll go with the Wolf Priest for you. Mav and Thunderhawk, great to get your replies, if you'd be able to repost your load-out choices in PA I'd be grateful and as I said in the OP I don't game so go nuts, rule-of-cool applies.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Thanks for doing this man, this is cool. If you still have room I would like to see a wolf claw bolt pistol grey hunter, no helm, detail at your discretion.

Rift Blade Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Better late then never. If your still looking for to fill out the pack Brother, put me down for a Gray Hunter. Torso plate with double Wolf's head on it with string of claws & talisman's added to his belt, power pack with the winged skull added to the top behind his head, head anything with a top knot & maybe add Fu Manchu mustache if your up it. Put him on the legs with the wolf skin tabard in front with added boot knife. Make him your Standard bearer for the pack if you like & give him a holstered bolt pistol & a chainsword for his free hand with a bolter mag locked to his other thigh. Looking forward to seeing this pack in all of its glory.

mactire Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Ok so it looks like I've got 8 on board so far, nine if Mav wants to switch to PA. Thanks for all the replies guys. The only slight change is that all shoulder pads will be the same or similar with regards to decal and pack marking -- Infyrana and Russ Brother I'll see what I can do about the studded pads -- also I'll only be give backpack banners to the pack sergeant (it will be the one with the skull on top). Rift Blade my GS skills are poor but I might give the moustache a go, sadly I wont be having a standard bearer so if you want to choose another weapon go ahead. I'll leave this open for about another week to see if I can boost the numbers up and then I'll dry run a few poses to see what ye think and if you want to make any changes.

Vykryl Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I'm a Bloodclaws here but will chime in. Thunder Hammer & Wolf Claw for weapons, head with 4 braid beard if available, if not the top knot & beard. Torso & backpack both with dual tails & legs with wolf tail.
