<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "SM Chapter Master Question"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net SM Chapter Master Question HQ choices in my SM list.

My question came up when I was looking at possible loadouts. What I'm currently looking at is this:

Boltgun (combi-metla or combi-flamer)
Storm Shield
Articifer Armour
Hellfire Rounds

Now my question is, can I give him the Combi-Metla/Flamer Boltgun and still use the Storm Shield? Or do I have to pick something else like a CC weapon or something?

I like this because even with all these upgrades he's still only 175pts with a 2+ save, and a 3+ invulnerable save. And I like the ability to use orbital bombardment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/491189.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/491189.page GMT SM Chapter Master Question imo.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/491196.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/491196.page GMT Re:SM Chapter Master Question SS with the Boltgun if you can use a Sword with a Boltgun.

As for the librarian, he doesn't have Orbital Bombardment which is one of the main reasons I'm taking the Chapter Master.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/491220.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/491220.page GMT Re:SM Chapter Master Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/491929.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/491929.page GMT SM Chapter Master Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/492198.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/492198.page GMT Re:SM Chapter Master Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/492753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/492753.page GMT SM Chapter Master Question

this is incorrect

there are no restrictions on what combination of one or two handed weapons you can have. its perfectly acceptable to take a boltgun (or combi-weapon) and a storn shield.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/492768.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/492768.page GMT Re:SM Chapter Master Question

He replaces his chainsword/bolt pistol with things, which is his restriction. RB+SS means he gets no combi-bolter, but you can give him an auxillary grenade launcher if you want him to shoot still.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/498256.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/498256.page GMT SM Chapter Master Question

I think I've seen a grand total of three actual WYSIWYG Marine combi bolters, and they were made out of metal, and had Sternguard welded to them.

i think the biggest problem with the RB+SS combo is that once you add up the points it costs you may as well just go for vulkan. with WS 6, S6, a reroll to hit and reroll to wound you can pretty much count on all 3 attacks causing wounds. Stick him with a unit of assault terminators (master crafted thunderhammers!) and you get a wicked effective assault unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/500036.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/500036.page GMT SM Chapter Master Question HF!) a regular CMaster is 5 pt.s MORE!!!

I know the reason I was looking at the C.Master as an HQ unit was because of his ability to call in the orbital bombardment. Reason being I was looking for a way to block off routes to or from objectives. I saw orbital bombardment as a great way to 'funnel' units to go certain ways that I wanted on the battlefield, a way to kind of give myself a little control over a hectic game table. Or a way to take care of a really nasty particular unit in an army, or a good surprise for some of those all Deep Strike armies. Something to punch a hole where they least expect it kind of deals. I know this may be more in my head than practicallity, but hey play what makes it fun is the way I game.

I suppose I could give him a CC weapon in place of the Combi-Weapon & Hellfire Rounds. I suppose I just liked the idea of him shooting, but you make valid points if I put into another squad.

But I don't like the Relic Blade, I'll probably stick with a T.Hammer or something like that, because the other thing is I didn't want him being more expensive then of the special character HQ choices.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/502415.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/225462/502415.page GMT
