You can always GS on new robes to old models and add onto the existing force with new ones! But they are a fine sight, are they not? I am especially liking the veterans, although the chapter symbol on the nose is cool, but going to be a *$@! to file off I bet.

Its still £20 for 5 Devastators-bit of a rip off considering you can get 10 Marines for £18! FFS GW squeeze more money out of your customer base why dont you!

At least you get 8 heavy weapons; 1 Missile Launcher, 1 Multi-Melta, 2 Heavy Bolters, 2 Las-cannons and 2 Plasma Cannons, though whats the betting they've done somthing to them to makes sure you cant use them on other Marines (only 4 of some vital piece will be provided).

Indeed. Chaos really gets a bit fudged on the havocs though. Atleast marines get all the weapons they actually need, in a good quantity. I hope GW dosen't go back to the 'you have to buy this box to make these bits work.'. If they do, i'm feeling an angry mob coming on!

We can get around it...lol I made a las cannon devestator out of a IG heavy weapon las cannon and green stuff once...lol

[r4wr89]

yea i know what you mean...i'm making a flamer or two out of an IG flamer, a bolter and some computer parts XD haha
the dev squad makes me happy, but 2 plasmacannons? not that many people use them...UGHHH one m launcher??? sheesh. at least there's 2 HB's. haha

well, i have a heavy bolter from the old legion of the damned models. however, he holds it on his shoulder so i call it either a HB or Lascannon, depending on whatever i need. also, all of my flamers and meltaguns are interchangable. not during the battle of course, but noone i play with is that anal about WYSIWYG.

*shrug* I usually put my termies as an elites, but if you can stick a command squad of terminators on a char, have a chaplain in termie (Interrogator?) armor all attached to an HQ choice, that frees up on elite slot that i'll plop the scouts onto. *shrug* I normally only come out with 2 elites slots on most builds I tinker with, except for my Black Saints. In all honesty, I am plenty fine with elite scouts. Although I think they should have had an option to take DA scouts or reg. scouts (ala the BA).

Really, what good are scouts, I really cant figure out a good way to use them, I feel that they are just a waist of points. dont get me wrong, I know all about the sniper rifles and how well they work in city fights expecially, but in standard and Apoco games I just cant think of how to use them effectively.

[r4wr89]

personally, i like the thing that the wolfies have going, with the elite scouts and sweet gun selection and whatnot. the normal SM scouts are a little less impressive, but they have their uses. pinning with the sniper rifles is FUN, and so is putting a little needle [okay, sometimes VERY little] into your opponent's side with move through cover and infiltrate. carry some nice shotties or bolters while infiltrating to flank..oooh baby.

haha
