I was wondering if anyone who's bought the 5-man Space Marine Assault Teriminator box if it comes with enough lightnight claws for all of them. i was thinking of making an assault Khorne Termie squad for my World Eaters and i wanted them all with Lightning claws and the new Assault termies seemed to be the way to go.

Yup... it comes with 5 sets of claws, and 5 thunder hammers and shields.

Sorry, one more thing, it says in the chaos armory that Lightning Claws cost 30 points, and are usually worn in pairs. so does that mean that 30 points gives me 2 lightning claws or do i have to throw out another 30 just for a second pair?

If you have another look, the 30 points is for a Pair of Lightning Claws.

The single Lightning Claw is in the Single Handed Weapons section.

Okay, well I was just checking to make sure this unit was legal, I'm sure some things are wrong because unfortunately I'm a bit of a noob so... 'Ere we go!!!

1 Chosen Terminator Champion - 36 points
... Mark of Khorne - 5 points
... Plasma Pistol - 10 points
... Chainfist - 8 points
... Feel No Pain - 5 points
   - 64 points

4 Chosen Terminators - 144 points
...Mark of Khorne x4 - 20 points
...Lightning Claws x4 - 120 points
...Feel No Pain x4 - 20 points
    -304 points

Total: 368 points

Ur.. you can't use the pistol with terminator armor.

Also, the lightning claws for the termies is for ONE lightning claw.

So your four guys will have a combi-bolter and a lightning claw each.

Now if you want them to have the pair, you have to upgrade them all to champions.

Nuwisha's right. You can buy one LC for each regular chosen termie for +5 points. That's an option that the basic troopers get. In order to buy them gear that isn't in their "options" section they must be upgraded to champions so they can get access to the wargear page. But +25 points per model for the extra attack from the other claw is a high price to pay. Especially since upgrading them to champs to get access to the pair of claws costs 10 points and gets you an extra attack. Also, they need to be champions to get Feel No Pain, because nowhere does it say you can give Feel no Pain to regular troops (though a lot of people seem to think you can for some reason). Actually, if you take those 4 guys, make them champs, give them one claw and a combibolter and Feel no Pain, they'd have the exact same offensive power as your unit does, plus they can shoot and cost 60 points less. Slightly more converting though.

Also, from a modelling standpoint- I'm working on converting SM termies into Khorne termies and it works pretty well. I'll post some WIP pics in the not too distant future.

why not just give them chain axes?
a 4+ max save is the very bane of terminators you will play against and even marines will have trouble with it.

Why spend 1 point for chain axes when they get power weapons for free?

hmmm id probably still give atleast one a chainfist... i want atleast SOME anti-vehicle power in case they get charged by dreads or kans or something, sound like a good idea? sorry about the misconceptions with Feel No Pain and the pair of claws, i get confused about that kinda stuff pretty easy i guess
