sebs_evo7 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Sternguard box has 4 I’m pretty sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jukkiz Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Plastic sternguards box has two, "best" box to get them might be tartaros terminators or terminators overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian_F_H Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 I'm trying to think of anywhere. Besides left overs from all the terminator kits (assuming you built various HW options). Deathwing players probably have lots. Every deathwing terminator box comes with 5 storm bolters but if they build all the close combat options like the actual deathwing knights, the they should have piles of the left over. And speaking of dark angels. Somebody else would need to chime in but I wonder if the 5 man dark angel veteran kit comes with any storm bolters. And of course the 2 into the Sternguard kit... Possibly in one of the old captain kits that comes with a bunch of options? One of the recent terminator librarian kits comes with a storm bolter hand that is often swapped for the cool "casting a spell" hands it comes with...

Gederas Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 And speaking of dark angels. Somebody else would need to chime in but I wonder if the 5 man dark angel veteran kit comes with any storm bolters. I haven't gotten the kit myself yet, but the pictures on the GW site shows one with a Storm Bolter, so I'm assuming it comes with at least one?

LucidNinja Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Grey knights, I have decided their arms will work for my 2nd vet squad. Also makes better use of our right handed storm shields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris521 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 At this point, Grey knights or converting from terminators may be your best bet for a bunch of them, otherwise you just have to camp out on ebay. This bitz sellers do restock them from time to time, but unfortunately, the time to get them was 8 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vigitant Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 There are a lot of third party sources for high quality storm bolters. i cant remember where i got mine, but ive seen the xenos hunters blitz pistols pop goes the monkey on shapeways has, and they look amazing.

Finkmilkana Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 In case first party resin is also fine, the aptly named Forgeworld Alpha Legion Headhunter Kill Team Upgrade Set comes with five marine-sized combi bolters. Same for the cheaper Legion Tartaros Terminator Power Axe Set, though these are obviously termi sized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sockwithaticket Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Terminator storm bolters from bits sites or ebay tend to be relatively cheap and plentiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are very interesting. Do you by any chance have any pictures of the final product? He mostly just has renders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jukkiz Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 DA veteran kit DOESN`T have normal SM sized stormbolters in it, only only and that´s for SM terminator SGT. That pic is old as kit itself and that stormbolter has been taken from SM commander kit.GW really should start putting sprue pics, FROM BOTH SIDES on the product site.

infyrana Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I managed to successfully pick up 2 lots of DA termie stormbolters very cheap on the auction site, a couple of singular ones too and also some odd bundles containing individual storm bolters and those from Space Wolf terminators with the full arms attached. With the plethora of SW termie Stormbolters I now have, it's been easy to select a few and strip their arms away and clean up the hand that remains and remove the icons. Giving me a few more to play around with, it's just a case of making sure I have enough magnets now! I've ended up with more than sufficient but it took me a few weeks on the auction site to spot and purchase them - patience if you have it is great. Now I wish I had picked up more Storm Shields before they became the in-thing as now they're either too expensive, gone within seconds, or simply too hard to catch.

How neat would it be if the actual numerous items in the DW kit like boltguns and power swords finally end up being the in-thing My bits box(es) are over flowing as it is lol. I actually bought a few extra of the bolters and sword arms so that I could chop them off at the wrists for all the storm bolters I picked up, I really like the DW specific arms and didn't want to start using sternguard arms etc. I guess that's why I made sure I bought a fair number of magnets - but then I realised if I magnetised the arms I'd need more left arm Deathwatch shoulder pads.... you can see where this is going right? ;) To be fair, I've been lucky in so much as that a few odd geared marines I did back in 3rd ed have come back around in newer additions as being very useful, so who knows, it's probably why I keep all my spares.

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 You can always slap two bolters together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven1 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 The containers from the terrain come with 2 each. Well then they are set up like for a vehicle but still there if you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrOwl Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 1) The best choice - Deathwing knights/Terminators Dark angels players usually make knights from this kit so they do not need SB anyway. 2) Plastic SM Captain kit - ok but there's only one SB and it is quote rare. 2) Sternguard - ok. SM players usually don't need them anyway 3) Grey Hunters - the have 2 left hand SB in the kit. perfect if you want to make some Deathwatch Space Wolves 4) Various termies(including starter ones from old editions) - meh, because of a lot of work with the knife. But they are easiest to obtain. As for myself , I use mostly 1 and 4. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Why not get two bolters, shave down connecting sides and glue them together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Why not get two bolters, shave down connecting sides and glue them together? To be fair, that's basically what a combi-bolter is, so there's precedence for doing exactly this. Gameplay-wise, SB/CB are identical across codexes, too. I think this is a solid cost-effective solution :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HorrOwl Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Why not get two bolters, shave down connecting sides and glue them together? It is simply not worth it imho. Too much work with knife and file, while you still will have to get all these bolters It is easier to get SB and glue it to the hand of SM. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
