MeatGrinder Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So if Im reading the codex correctly, if I trade a grey hunter's bolter for a plasma pistol, I will get an extra attack and an extra shot from the bolt pistol? Therefore I won't have to pay for the close combat weapon for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rose Princes Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yes, at 33 points a model though. It would be cool, as gunslinger get always is, but such an expensive unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spazmonkey Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Wow that would be brutal imagine that many plasma shots. With a wolf priest so you don't have to worry about gets hot to much. Expensive but a fun idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember this is Grey Hunters we're talking guys, not Wolf Guard--i.e., not 33pts a model and only the option for one PP per squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rose Princes Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Whoops.... wrong page. Yeah only 2 models could be gunslingers...... boo. Not even worth it at that point. Cool factor deflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool-factor reinstated :D (albeit at a higher price, but hell who can put a price on fun). Imagine the thunderstrike explosive arrival, or better still 15 of these crazy gun toting b@#!ards jumping out of a LR with a wolf priest in tow, and melting faces before they charge in.

They're awesome, it's just a damn shame they're so expensive otherwise they'd see a lot more use in my lists. I have 3 Gunslinger WG modeled up that I sometimes run as Lone Wolves when I have points to spare--ever since one of them shot a Blood Angels Dreadnought right through the sarcophagus and exploded it I have always had a soft spot for them. Still, if it's cool factor you're after you can always model your Grey Hunters dual-wielding a Bolter in one hand and a Bolt Pistol in the other, I have a few of them spattered in my force and I always thought they looked pretty slick :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favourite models is my wolf guard/lone wolf gunslinger...maybe ill look into that cypher dataslate as a 'counts as'... Though on that point, wolfguard gunslingers!!!!!!

Such a power output is hilarious if not wickedly expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly now (excluding the CCW upgrade) they are the only legal GH models I own **shakes fist** - "damn you GW!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
