the Storm Shield and Frag Cannon combo i...Hi Nick,<br /><br />the Storm Shield and Frag Cannon combo is not one I've ever really considered to be honest. It would be useful, but 57 points for a T4, one-wound model is a lot, considering he will most likely fall to Bolter fire. One of the big problems with Deathwatch is loading up on too many of the goodies. You can easily make a squad cost over 300 points, but they are still just as fragile as normal Marines. <br />One option that might be worthwhile is a Heavy Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield. It's expensive, but might help ensure that the Veteran gets to strike. It's a pity they have no access to some form of Apothecary. <br /><br />If you wanted to model it, I think that sticking the shield in the ground in front of the model would be pretty cool looking. Alternatively, you could try mounting it onto the side of the Frag Cannon.

A question for you though... <br /><br />The rules permit (and FAQ backs this up), that DW are able to take their heavy weapons (frag cannon, infernus heavy bolter, etc) *and* still take a stormshield. Is this a weapon combination that you've considered? I've been trying to figure out how on earth I would model this - and I'm drawing a blank. I've considered having a shield looking like it's been punched into the ground in front of the marine - but I'm undecided, and wondered what others were thinking...<br /><br />(Also, I'm not entirely sure whether I agree with the weapon combination either - so an option to magnetise the shield, in case I ever decide to remove it would be a bonus.)<br /><br />Thanks in advance.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00897604806074134843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-4734152797738170942017-02-27T19:58:26.044+00:002017-02-27T19:58:26.044+00:00Great work, dude!

Even now, I notice things that I wish I could go back and change or improve upon. <br />It's actually been a very rewarding experience getting the army painted up and trying to improve my skills. I've been getting a lot of compliments on them at the club and at the tournament at the weekend, so was very happy.
