appiah4 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Probably a better question for the DW guys, but has anyone tried or know if the DW squad (not the special one from overkill but just the 5 genetic DW squad) to mix those parts with other marine/armor marks? I know there's the whole upright pose or possibly bigger in general bits, but does anyone think I could put one of those legs with a SG torso or use the DW torso on DC legs? Would the DW bits look too big? They are absolutely the same scale. However, the legs will make any model that uses them appear slightly taller. This gets progressively worse with the midget legs of the Assault Squad and the squad legs of the Tactical squad. The 3rd/4th Ed. legs are the worst, but I think I'm the only one who has about 20 of those still lying about lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Should be fine. GW prides itself on making marine kits all interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyriks Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 The only bad thing about DW bits is they are covered in DW symbols. Every left arm has a crescent thing molded onto it, most torsos have the I carved into them, so it's a lot of work scraping it all off. And I don't know how to take the crescent things off.

Not even worth the effort imo unless you really hurt for mk8 torsos (which Re mire easily available these days) Id personally just sell them off..

Damon Nightman Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) I thought they were all scaled the same, just upright leading people to think the scale increased... I wouldn't use them on tacs, so I think I'm safe there. Probably mix them with DC bits, or VV bits. Maybe even use the legs for SG. I think this newer armor mark will match with the SG armor, at least the DW legs should match well enough with SG torso... I hate the frag cannon shells or whatever it is on every torso more than the I or other stuff honestly... But yeah it does seem like a bit of work...

Charlo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Those are bolt shells my man. They're just that big/ awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Nightman Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Like heavy bolter shells? They seem way too big, though I don't look at heavy bolsters up close often... Either way I just don't like that they all have ammo for some big gun that only one or none of them will be modeled with... Edit: I looked at the kit again, they are not as big as I was thinking, def are just bolt shells...

Arkangilos Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 They are still probably too big XD A bolted round is only 19mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 My personal view has always been that bolter shells are ~about the size of a milk bottle. Which holds up in terms of sizing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebs_evo7 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Got a 1k points game tomorrow! (Hopefully...) 4 Way brawl against: DA OR Guard Guard Orks Other than Squad Firestorm and then at least two more pods with Dreads in (Fragioso and Libby probs) unsure what to bring! May keep it cheap and bring a Veritas or something for some good deployment advantages. No FW or Formations - we're keeping it nice I may even use a CAD instead of BSF, who doesn't love Scoring Cassor? ALSO - if anyone knows of any good rules to keep 4 player a little bit fairer, please speak up! Apparently there is a 6th edition supplement on BL (currently £1) called carnage that handles it pretty well? Only thing i can think of is each turn rolling off to see the turn order so the same person doesn't get stuck going at the end of each phase I also have a game tomorrow 1500 points against a friend. I'm bringing dante leading a dc star, scouts, grav bikes and a land raider spearhead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Hmmm.... Alternating turn order could work rather well... Problem is leaving it up to chance is risky, as is reversing it each turn or re-ordering, as with viarable game length it could go uneven...

Arkangilos Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) My personal view has always been that bolter shells are ~about the size of a milk bottle. Which holds up in terms of sizing IMO. But they aren't. They are specifically said to be .75 caliber. That's 19mm. A milk bottle is closer to a 40mm, which is too big for even the model. As is, they are still pretty close to the right size, so no big deal. Edited September 20, 2016 by Arkangilos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Well you know, 95% of it was IRL stuff; work has been murdering my hobby time, as the free time has been spent with the Mrs, and not on Social Networking etc. The other 5% was wanting to be completely surprised about all the goodies from Angel's Blade without getting any spoilers.I fan boy'd. It was awesome. I mean, FAST. LAND RAIDERS!!! :drool: But yeah I've really missed talking shop and painting, and a lot of things.Things are still hectic with work, but I've gotten them somewhat calmed down for the time being.

Blindhamster Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 so, what exactly is the ruling on relics and characters now? Aphael clearly has Valors Edge and Fury of Baal as his intended weapons.(I've decided to paint the majority of my marines as 2nd company rather than 3rd, but still have some 3rd company mixed in for old times sake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LutherMax Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Yeah I've never seen it written you can only take one per character, just one of each per army (i.e. you can't take two Valour's Edge). I've actually run my Priest with Valour's Edge and Fury of Baal before ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
