As stated above, just curious. I have never bought a new set, only second hand. Oh, and special weapons.

Thanks,
Duff

The special weapons right?

1 flamer, 1 plasma gun, 1 melta gun, 1 missile launcher, 2 plasma pistol arms

There are also 2 chainsword arms, 2 bolt pistol arms and some different heads.

I was also wondering the heavy weapons.

There are none Just the missile launcher.

Gah, foiled again by the money hungry corperation that is Games Workshop.... Time to spend 14$ on a multi-melta :/

Or buy the dev box and get 3-4 copy's of every heavy weapons. Also, why are you mounting a mutli-melta on an infantry model? They are not worth it.

Yeah, or buy the devastator box. It comes with two of everything

Yeah they are. Combat squads. Took me a whole to figure it out too. Being a chaos player and all that

I outflank with tactical squads in rhinos. My opponets, my firends, camp their tanks in the back and blast ordinance.

A heavy weapon that needs to be within 6 inches to be effective? No thanks. Now a meltaGUN on the otherhand...

Above post?

You will be more successful with a melta gun. But a multimelta in a rhino inst a BAD idea, I can just think of better weapons for the job. Like a lasscannon. Or a missile launcher. Or a melta gun.

If you're within 24", it's got the strength of a krak missile and AP1. That's hardly non-effective. It just gets better within 6".

I use both

What are you talking about? Multi-melta is range 24 assault 2, while meltaguns are 18 inches assault 1

Camping with a multi-melta is a good idea actually, you don't even need to camp. It's assault two.

With combat squads, you can put half the guys in a rhino and shoot that heavy weapon out of the fire point. Marines get all the fun stuff

FOR THE EMPEROR!

A multimelta is heavy 1 24" melta. Thats not a good camping method. Thats asking to get assaulted. But on OP's question, only a missile launcher is in the tac box. All the other heavy weapons are in the dev box. My suggestion, buy a dev box to get tons of the heavy weapons. If you want to use multi-meltas, that's fine, but your shooting your self in the foot before you run a marathon.

I want 5 of those. Thats why I never leave home without my razorbacks. A girl-gun. Sounds like my kind of weapon.

DERP. Ah well, I use mine on dreadnoughts anyway, so It never really matters

Not in the least, haha.

Just hope they don't get looted by orks--soon you'd be fighting beautiful women painted green and deployed via Stormlass Luncha!

I thought you were kidding. I really did. Derp indeed.

Stormlass Luncha on the chassie of a looted baneblade?

I took out a Neron Monolith with a single multi-melta as it dicided to Deep Strike much to close to my hvy weapon guy.....One shot and it was wrecked....a proud moment for Chaos that day. But it was those darn Tomb Spiders that won the day for Necrons.....next time I will have Flamers and Hvy Flamers for them.

I'm a fan of a MM on an infiltrating, outflanking, deepstriking unit, as long as they can show up early

2d6 within 12 inches is sometimes worth waiting a turn for

I'm not crazy about Multi-Meltas on non-Relentless infantry.

The things you want it for (Land Raiders, Battle Wagons) can get you from outside the 2d6 range. Lascannons, plasma cannons and Missiles are better IMHO.

Put the Multi-Meltas on walkers and speeders!

And bikes

Ah yes, bikes. If that's your thing.

Well played sir.

Actually, it may be my new thing. The last game I played, last night, I destroyed two land raiders with only a 5 man bike squad. Melta bombs and melta.

I've had my ass handed to me on a platter by a vulkan-led bike list.

Granted, I learned from it and am eager for a rematch , but it is a pretty strong build!

Most people usually underestimate a single bike squad, their last mistake... muhahaha.
