I'm thinking about buying a box at my flgs this evening. Are there any Space Marine kits that have more than one infantry-style plasma guns and/or melta guns?

Games Workshop is work blocked for me, but if I were you I'd just buy either the Space Marines Meltagun or Plasma Gun kit. You get 5x Melta Guns or Plasma Guns (but no marines). Either $12 or $10, I think.

Go to GW and search for Space Marine Melta Gun or Plasma Gun and you'll find it. They are listed under Adeptus Astartes in the Bits section.

They are direct only, so your FLGS will have to order it for you.

Otherwise, I believe that all Space Marines boxes only come with one of each special weapon.

Sternguard kit has many combi weapons, and i think one of a kind of special weps. Maybe Grey Hunters box has more?

Yeah, I have the Sternguard box and bought one of the new Devestator boxes and between the two, I'm swimming in combi-weapons.

Looks like Grey Hunters has 2 plasma guns. Looks like lots of Space Wolf iconography, though (the nerve!)

I would recommend looking into the space marine melta gun or plasma gun that Kronk recommended. You get 5 of them in the set.

TheEyeOfNight- I swear, this thread is 70% smack talk, 20% RP organization, and 10% butt jokes

Space Marine flyers are shaped for the greatest possible air resistance so that the air may never defeat the SPACE MARINES!
Sternguard though, those guys are all about kicking ass. They'd chew bubble gum as well, but bubble gum is heretical. Only tau chew gum

Yeah, I'll look intot hat if need be. For now I am just thinking about buying a box on a whim to throw some money at my flgs, and pretty sure he doesn't sell the GW melta and plasma packs without special order. He has some off-brand weapons, maybe I'll take a look at those...I need something to pass for Volkite weapons. Maybe I'll just end up getting a box of tacs and some off-brand stuff; I need somehting to model for Volkite weapons.

They are metal/fine cast though IIRC.

There is also Legion weapons from 30k

Otherwise the best chance is the Sternguard kit as it comse with two each IIRC (it might of been two combi instead of standard)

Yeah, you gets lots of combi in the sternguard box, but only 1 plasma, melta, and flamer.

I also suggest Bits sites or ebay. Plasma and Melta Guns often go for very little money compared to Combi Weapons.

I support just going for eBay, you can probably find the weapons you're looking for there.

That's what I did for getting a Combi-Plasma, Combi-Melta and two Melta Guns!

Don't believe me? It's all in the numbers.

Number 2: That's terror.

If you want volkite, then buy ForgeWorld Volkite.
