pretre Posted August 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 so two questions; are HTH anything different from normal TH, and are stalker bolters anything special rulewise???? HTH - str 10 AP 2 6 to wound causes instant death 2 handed and the usual TH stuff Stalker bolter is a 30" str X AP 4 heavy2 sniper with special issue ammo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 This sounds really cool. I'm sure its not stuff that'll rock the meta, but it could be really fun. I really like the idea of adding in an Aquilla Kill team in a drop pod to my IG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Cracks me up that everything bolter gets special ammo except storm bolters. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluger Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Yeah, but then I'd have to make an allied detachment or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Cracks me up that everything bolter gets special ammo except storm bolters. That was actually kind of bugging me. Storm Bolters are as iconic a weapon as regular Bolters, but these guys suddenly become way less flexible if they take them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 I don't know if you guys have noticed, but GW has consistently made Storm Bolters useless for like ten years running here. This is nothing new. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 And it's been consistently bugging me for like 10 years running, too ;) Actually, I think it was only in 6th that they became inherently terrible. The problem before then was that there was almost nowhere to get them for a reasonable Points cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Ironic. We have a saying here: "Storm Bolters do all the work in 40K". Clearly its not literally true but it kind of illustrates how funny we find it that those little things sometimes make an important impact.

pretre Posted August 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Anyone else want an eldar half and/or the books/rules from one? I'm thinking of getting two boxes. I've already got a split on one from BroG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those characters make me wonder, they're cheaper than the existing character models, so it would be super weird for GW to repack an old model with extra bits and lower the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Rumors indicate that the captain is just the old multi-kit captain with the DW sprue. Were that the case, the old captain was 22 USD previously, 3 bucks for a DW upgrade sprue? Just seems odd but makes sense I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 I was assuming it's Artimis in a clam shell. If it's the full Build-a-Boss Box, that'd be pretty chill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
