Space Marine Commander Sprues

[Nabterayl]

This is another obvious why-doesn't-anybody-in-my-group-play-space-marines question, but I have a question about the space marine commander kit (http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat180005&prodId=prod1050240&rootCatGameStyle=). Does anybody have a list of what wargear options it contains? Or in the alternative and at a minimum, does it have options for a thunder hammer/storm shield captain?

Here's a link that shows all the stuff that comes in the kit:

No option for TH/SS. You can get a SS in the Assault Squad box, a TH in the Death Company box, and both a TH and SS in the Space Wolves box.

Thanks.

The shield in the assault box is generally considered a combat shield.

Aye, the shield in the assault box has a bolt pistol "strapped" to the other side.

You can also look at WFB bits, shields and hammers abound in Fantasy and can be used to make your Charcters look unique.

Just for my own edification, is there a separate storm shield bit on any of the "standard" sprues?

There are no shields of any kind in the SM Commander box.

I second the recommendation to look for Fantasy parts for awesome looking SS/TH. Dwarves in particular have some mean looking shields and hammers.

The dark angel veteran box has a storm shield too, if i'm not mistaken.

I used an assault terminator sheild to give my terminator librarian a stormshield, was very easy since its just a hand swap. Would also be really easy to remove the hand part from the shield itself too. Obviously depends if you want a shield that looks the same as your terminators though :P

Actually, no. The shield in the Assault Marine box is a Storm Shield, albeit a different form from those in the Assault Terminator box. It is more similar in form to the Storm Shield in the Space Wolf Pack box. Of course, you can call it a Combat Shield (but why would you want to?)

The shield with a bolt pistol strapped to the inside is in the Space Marine Command Squad box (it is the Company Champion Combat Shield/right arm bit).

I picked it up at the same time I got my battle force box. It just has a lot of great options and can easily be spread into the rest for your army. I think one of the only things I didn't use was the combi-plasma.

Sorry but it really isn't. The one in the assault squad box is a combat shield because an assault squad sergeant can actually take combat shield, can't take a storm shield so why would it be in the box? The reason it doesn't have a bolt pistol attached is because when it was released it was the previous codex where if you took a combat shield you lost the bolt pistol.

yeah sorry, Phoenix, but thats a combat shield in the assault box.

Actually, yeah, you're right. I forgot that the assault box technically comes with a storm shield (which was allowed in the previous codex), but now counts as a combat shield.

In my army, the the assault squad sergeant uses a combat shield I bits ordered from the command squad box.
