Unless I'm missing something, which I very well could be, the only place they show up is a few of the special characters. I'm not complaining about a power or balance thing, I don't think we need master crafted weapons to be competitive, but there was such a flufftastic feeling of "badass-ness" when you took one from the good old armoury.

"Oh yeah, mastercrafted baby... Shiny."

I miss it. : (

S'pose I'll just have to take some Inquisitional buddies and play with theirs.

Yea I miss them to, captains and other heros weapons just don't really seem "special" any more (although in game terms they don,t add much).

Captain bike = biker troops.
That adds a whole different list to the SM codex.

Why the sadness?
You get improved Weapon Skill and access to digital weapons to re-roll wounding...

As good or better than Master Crafting a weapon IMO.

Oh I know, it's not about that. I don't think the dex needs it one bit. But when you model and paint some big cool looking weapon it's just fun to say, "you know, I think I'll make that master crafted." It brought me joy.

But you are right, there are plenty of new things to make the dex feel bad ass, biker troops not low among them. I'd love to put together a bike army sometime. But buying all those bikes...

I think captains and CM should be able to make their weapons Master-crafted.

Infact, CM's weapon should always get Master-crafted, being the best in the chapter.

Honour guards should too

MC and spikey bits....god I miss those. Best excuse for making a miniature spikey

Yeah master crafted weapons I do miss modeling them and having them on special( captians and command squads) but hey we get a grenade launcher in stead...

does any one really take the Grenade launcher??

I'd rather have a relic blade than a master crafted power sword any day.

Now, a master crafted TH...

I liked master-crafted weapons. IMO they should be included alongside digital weapons, as both are cool reroll options. On the other hand it can be difficult to represent what a master-crafted weapon actually *is,* but for that matter I've never seen anyone model a digital weapon, except maybe on some of the old Inquisitor models.
