Lord Asvaldir Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I have an issue I'm hoping players more experienced with the AM range can help me with. I really need some melta guns for my cadian troops, but since I'm using different heads I can't use the metal model. Besides the command squad sprue, I can't find a single melta gun in the whole range, and considering I need 6 that's too many command squads to buy. Anyone know where I can find more? I tried ebay, no luck there. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307409-cadian-melta-guns/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Pretty sure you can buy a pack of melta guns from gw online. If not a bit of minor trimming and fettling will allow marine ones to be used.

Inso Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 GW online have a pack of 5 meltas for space marines that just need the hand clipping off. (It's £6 though...)

WarriorFish Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 It's a little expensive yes, but there's also the Forge World melta and plasma for some variety that looks good. There's also the 3 pack as part of the hazardous environment set. If you know some Marine players they may have one or two spare as they probably won't be spamming melta?

Besides the command squad sprue, I can't find a single melta gun in the whole range, and considering I need 6 that's too many command squads to buy. Anyone know where I can find more? I tried ebay, no luck there. Look for local space marine players with extra melta guns. I have a pile of them... There is usually one in every box now looks like. Found one in tactical squad box, one in the reclusium command squad box, one in the stern guard box, and two in the BT upgrade kit. Probably more in others... No matter how many melta they want they are bound to have a spare or two per player, especially if they have built large armies that don't rely on melta guns...

Zectz Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 The options above are good. Just to add extra, if you are open to 3rd party conversion pieces, the 2 main ones are Maxmini and Kromlech. They do special weapon alternatives for basically all of the special weapons for imperial guard/marine armies (grav, plasma, sniper etc). Kromlech "Magma Rifles" Maxmini "Nuclear Guns" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307409-cadian-melta-guns/#findComment-4037328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunmonkey88 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 There's also this from Anvil Industries http://www.anvilindustry.co.uk/The-Armoury/Specialist-and-Energy-Weapons/Fusion-Cannon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307409-cadian-melta-guns/#findComment-4037528 Share on other sites More sharing options...
morroccomole Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Can I just say, as someone who was dumb enough to buy three command squads to get enough meltas and plasmas for vets, that this is screwed up, and GW should include them in the standard infantry sprue!

Kontakt Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Can I just say, as someone who needed the melta guns, it was a lot of work to make the pewter ones fit... and the poses are all the same. A bitz store might be a better choice. They just don't look right, otherwise. The pewter kit is for marines.

Lord Asvaldir Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well seems there really are no cadian melta guns to use, marine ones will have to suffice. Thanks for the suggestions. My first thought is go for pewter, but Kontakt your experience makes me think I'll just try to search out some plastic ones.

WarriorFish Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The Guard infantry boxes are sadly quite old now, but we're hoping that we get an update for the next codex which should have more options :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/307409-cadian-melta-guns/#findComment-4038053 Share on other sites More sharing options...

march10k Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Can I just say, as someone whose entire army is the old metal cadians, it's really hard to find models that they haven't made in 15 years. I wish I had your "problems." Whiney young whippersnappers! I oughta beat you with my cane!
