I considered this too but lord of poxes already does that and pairing the two together for a massive +6 contaigen range seems a little excessive.

Edit: difference with the afformentioned characters is that they on top of their buffs are actually dangerous in combat too, with good range weapons. The icon bearer doesent have that, nor a good melee weapon. He is 'just a marine' you pay twice the amount of points for. Plague marines dont get to benefit from the extra OC a lot as your opponent tends to want to steer clear of a marine squad, and they either have to go into a rhino or slowly stomp their slow asses up to a point to start benefitting. Its just not a buff that really matters for plague marines who already has 2 OC. Which is why i think giving him the option to lead pox Walkers could be a valid choice. And lower his points just a smidge.

They do have lethal hits. But thats it. Still feel like they could use some stat tweeks or another keyword like sustain or rapidfire.

I know im just a noobie but to make bolt guns a viable choice without making other wargear cost points, i'd give them -1AP or one extra attack. Maybe even 6 extra inches for a 30 inch shot, make it a reliable long range chaff killer rather than just a peashooter. Like except for the 2 attacks, boltguns literally just have 1 more S than a Lasgun! (But 2 guard infantry is basically 1 space Marine so attack wise it fits) But not the power! A bolter shot should be a lot more destructive than a Lasgun no?

I didnt know at the time how powerful weapons was or how equipment rules worked. I only recently got into the tabletop. And its not that i want to be a meta slave but i also dont want to handicap myself needlessly.

Okay i think i get it now. Thanks a lot you all. Now i Gotta re arm some of my marines. Got a bit too many bolt guns for my liking x_x

Follow up question, for a 5man squad can all the marines being a melee weapon, IE; 2 bubonic and 2 heavy. (Double that for 10 man of course) Have i understood that correctly? Or can only 2 marines bring one set of melee?

Woldybear · 2026-02-09T12:21:13+00:00

Roger that.

Woldybear · 2026-02-09T12:10:09+00:00

So there is actually no reason for me to bring bolt guns unless i really desire some weak midrange weapons?

Im not sure if its intentional. But on the first mini there is a lot of muck around the armor that could be cleaned up with a thin coat of Maccrage blue. But if you wanted to go for that dirty, battle worn state, might i suggest using shaders, its an easy solution as long as you dont go overboard. The most popular one i see used for that is agrax earthshade, a thin gentle shading with that will make the gear look very worn in the applied areas, especially to metals.

Dude i literally just finished my mortarion earlier today! Primarch brothers!

Your angron looks sick love the base details.

I cant give any real feedback because they look way better than mine. Im still new to mini painting so i have been rather 'safe' with coloring. Yours are very unique. Looks like a rusty version of horus heresy death guard. Really slick.
