Hey guys,

Not sure if this is in the right subforum. If not, feel free to move it mods.
I started Emperor's Children recently and was looking at the Palatine squad. I see on the FW site they don't come with jump packs but I would want to equip them with jump packs. Where do people find separate jump packs to equip their models with? FW doesn't seem to sell them...

Thanks!

As far as I know your options are to buy an Assault Squad separately and swap the backpacks (which nets you melee Tactical Marines), or find a bits reseller who's got 40k Raptor jump packs, shave off the spikes, cut the vents off the pack, and fit them to the Palatines' backpacks.

IIRC, the sanguinary guards (40, Blood Angels) have MK4 jump packs.

There are also third party options like Kromlech, Puppets War, and others.

Sanguinary Guard do indeed have Mk4 jump packs. I bit ordered some off eBay for my Destroyer squad.

Hmm so eBay is an option.. I like the assault marine idea as well!
Kind of surprised FW hasn't plugged this hole yet by selling them separately.. there must be quite a demand for jump packs.
Thanks for the quick replies all.

Spellcrow makes a pack that looks like MK IV, but the nozzles are inverted. I'm going to try and flip mine around so that the 3 nozzles point downwards.
