 Orc Boy Weapons?
« Thread Started on Jan 10, 2005, 9:55pm »

As you all know, I have 2 units of 30 Orc boys and I was wondering if I could equip them with different weapons so I could reuse them if I ever decided to change my list?

Do you eman can in one unit you give them all different weapons?
Probably not from a rules point of view, btu from a conversion point of view yes.

Not quite sure I got what you meant...

I mean give 10 spears and shields,10 choppas and shields, then give the othe 10 two choppas. They would all count as one weapon group, but I could change them as need be.

well... i think it would look rubbish really. sorry. if you really want to then do it, but you will HAVE to make sure your opponent knows what the unit has. that idea has the potential to cause huge arguments should anyone forget what they actually have.

I thought I could put the guys that I am using in the front and the rest in the back. Would that work?

i dont know. there is a rule that states that all equipment given a unit must be on the model.so, if your unit supposedly has for example spears and shields then all of them must have it.

the rule is (or at least was last time i checked) that you need a majority of the models in a unit to have the equipment youre giving them. there fore you could do that, (if we look at it in a sixty model veiw) put all the ones of one type in one unit all the ones of another type in the other and use the remainder to make up numbers

if it is the majority he couldnt do what he wanted to do, but could mix them to an extent.
