Power Weapon Options for Units

[OverchargeThis!]

New guy here.

 

When a unit, such a Tartaros Terminators, is equipped with a 'power weapon', does this give the player the option to select power sword, mace, lance, or axe at no additional points cost? The broad category 'power weapon' includes these four weapons, and it implies this exactly.

 

Thanks.

It does, any generic power weapon but not a fist or thunder hammer can be chosen.

[OverchargeThis!]

Thanks.

 

I need seven arms with power axes. FW is out of stock. Anyone know where I can get some?

 

Otherwise, I'm probably just going to build the sergeant and two heavy weapon terminators for now.

 

 Odd they didn't include enough power swords/axes in the box.

Ehhhhh, I'm not sure. For plastic bits there are bits sites (bitzbox, bitzarium, etc.), but I don't know if any of them sell resin bits.

Thanks, Harrow.

 

Bitzarium looks like it stocks from FW, although they are presently out of stock.

 

How common in proxying in your HH games?

 

Too bad some of this stuff is hard to get a hold of.

Depending on your faction, fantasy miniatures axes with a power weapon paint job look fine (ditto with other power weapons), as it's the paint job that says 'power weapon' to me.  Chaos Marauders or Warriors both have great looking axes imo.

I've just realised why you were talking about FW and Resin - each box of 10 terminators only comes with two sword arms....  And the new close combat upgrade sprue doesn't solve this...

Hi, Slick. thanks for the reply.

 

I mentioned FW, but it doesn't have to be resin. Any solution is fine. FW has the exact weapon with the exact arm for the unit I have, which is why I mentioned it.

 

I'm just going to build and paint 7 of the models with one arm done, and when I purchase the two power axe packs from FW, add them then. At least that's the plan. LOL>

Have you got access to a 3d printer, or know someone that does? If so there are plenty of decent options available,  and I'd be happy to link some that I use.

 

Otherwise if you're OK with recast, there are lots of places that sell them
