andozane Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 So, looking over the Crusade Army lists, and comparing them to the Betrayal miniatures...they don't really make legal units do they? Or am I missing something obvious. i.e. a Crusader Tactical unit does not have any options to take a special weapon like a flamer. Special weapons go into "Support Squads". Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainFireBob Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 Enough guns to give them all bolters. IMO, you want two sets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 You can make veteran tactical squads so you can run pride of the legion rite of war. 2 heavy bolters in a 10 man squad or 2 missile launchers in a 10 man squad or 4 squads one heavy weapon each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 2 sets woukd give you six of each special weapon so you can make tactical support squads that are 6 man strong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Awww....see, you guys are thinking smarter than I :) So, I haven't really looked at the breakdown of special weapons...there are 3 of each special weapon in the boxed set? (Flamer, Melta, Grav) Ahh, ok, looking at the sprues now... Going to have to do some planning on how to build these marines... I hope GW does put out a sequel to this game with more 30K plastic goodness... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derek Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Its plasma melta and flamers. Ive been thinking about 3 sets and then getting weapon sets from forgeworld to give you heavy weapon squads and some extra special weapon squads with weapon sets like volkite weapons.

InfestedKerrigan Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 A GW Starter that doesn't make a legal list? Sounds like par to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 A GW Starter that doesn't make a legal list? Sounds like par to me. Might have something to do with the fact that GW isn't actually marketing it as a starter, but as a standalone game. Just sayin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andozane Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 ...so back to the actual topic being discussed, please take your GW slights elsewhere. Are there no 30K Apothecary sets yet? I see these: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Space-Marine-Apthecary-Set Those would work right? I could probably kit bash a few Apothecaries from some command sprues too now that I think of it. I'm also thinking one of these: https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Space-Marine-Special-Weapons-Pack That would give you 5 Missile Launchers, and 5 Melta and 5 Flamers. Then I'm thinking one of these sets since I'm going DeathGuard https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-US/Legion-Heavy-Flamer-Set-2015 Lots of Chem Munitions for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derek Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 So wasnt trying to slight gw love 40k just find more enjoyment in 30k. Also was gonna suggest this since im picking up my second betrayal at calth box i will happily move the flamers and missile launchers to you if you wanna save some money. Or if you can wait a group on Facebook will be submitting an order to forgeworld on april 18th to get past the shipping costs. Pm me if you want more details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andozane Posted March 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 Oh, you did not slight GW :) Hmmm...I might take you up on that offer for the flamers and ML's...you don't have use for them? What is your build plan for two boxes plus FW goodies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I f I buy the FW Task Force that includes a box of Betrayal at Calph, can I play all the pieces In 40K? Some of the pieces? None? Thank you.

WestRider Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 All of the stuff from BaC is usable in 40K, tho the Dread requires one of the FW books to make use of it unless you want to just do a Counts-As/Proxy thing with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billhowell75 Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Which FW book is needed? I am building my FW order as we speak...er, type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted March 22, 2016 Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 Depends on which Chapter you're going for. BA and SW are in IA:Apoc, DA and basic SM are in IA2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
