dudelord Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Hey all, another question. (and again I apologise if it's been mentioned before and my search skills are fail) Basically back in 2nd ed I got the Lascannon and Twin Linked Plasma gun turret for the RB but never actually was sure how it worked. Now that it's back I was wondering if someone could tell me how they work. I'm thinking it acts as 2 seperate weapons, so that you can fire one or the other if moving at speed, or both if stationary. But then its modelled onto a single turret, which gets me all confused, because if you can shoot one weapon on the move, and the trigger for the other is on the same mounting why couldn't you fire both. So the idea that both weapons are fired at the same time came to mind, but then that seemed to imply that you couldn't fire the lascannon at a target beyond the range of the plasma guns... which just seems inefficient. So at the moment I'm treating it as if the lascannon basically determines the target, by shooting at it, and if the plasma guns are in range, thats just a bonus Anyways, those are the ideas I have... I'm hoping someone can tell me how they actually work lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181220-lascannon-and-twin-linked-plasma-gun-turret/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Amarel Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I agree with you - it's a single turret. You fire both at the same time at the same target. If someone disagrees then they'll need to let you fire both weapons independently at a different target (imo).

littlbitz Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Its 2 seperate weapon systems on one turret. Just like all other tanks (LR excepted) they must shoot at the same target. If you remain stationary you can fire both the Las and the Plas, if you move up to 6" then you can fire one or the other. For weapon destroyed results, its TWO different weapons.

See thats what I thought would've made sense with the wording in the codex, but then it seems odd to me that two weapon systems mounted onto the same turret cannot be fired in unison on the move. Replace Twin-Linked Heavy Bolters with: Lascannon and Twin-Linked Plasma gun I suppose if they were supposed to be a linked weapon system it'd say a Lascannon with Twin-Linked Plasma gun or something.

stinkenheim Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 well if they didnt put it on the turret where would they put it? cos a single lascannon on the turret would look stupid, and if they mounted the plasma gun like a stormbolter on a cupula then there would be an area it couldn't see through to fire (the lascannon turret). the weapons are seperate to all intents and purposes, depite sharing the same mounting. they fire individually (although at the same target obviously) and only one of the two will be removed from a weapon destroyed result.

neonwolf Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Does anyone have a pic of one of these types of turrets they could post? I'm thinking about trying to make one but not sure how it should look. Was thinking lascannon with plasma gun on either side...

I'm thinking about trying to make one but not sure how it should look. Was thinking lascannon with plasma gun on either side... I don't know one off hand but the old ones look a bit like a predator turret with a lascannon on a central mount and a plasma gun either side of it.

That's kind of what I was picturing but I wasn't sure if it was like that or had the lascannon on one side and the twin-linked plasma guns next to it.

TiguriusX Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Somewhat related to this subject... How does "gets hot" work with a twin-linked vehicle weapon If you roll a "1" then reroll b/c it is twin-linked does it count as a "gets hot" failure or do you have to roll double "1" for that? And here is a follow up question since my brain is mush after work. If you fail "gets hot" can you fire the weapon next turn? I always thought "gets hot" meant the weapon was destroyed but I took a closer look at the rules and didn't see that stated anywhere.

Beef Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Personnaly I thought it was one turret so they all fired together? By that how it was in 3rd, but its been so long that my rules skills are not that good anymore.

TiguriusX Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 That would explain why I could never find it. I was mixing up vehicle gets hot and blast weapon gets hot I thought a "1" for a vehicle plasma would result in no firing. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181220-lascannon-and-twin-linked-plasma-gun-turret/#findComment-2231164 Share on other sites More sharing options...
40k Junkie Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Does anyone have a good conversion for this? I want to make the Iron wolves with as many of these as I can fit into it. So far I plan to the side sponson lascannon from the predator box and some plasmaguns. But- I am working on a turret with plasticard. So anyone got some ideas or pics?

Grey Mage Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Yeah, do you have an old bloodclaw box? Shave off one of the lascannons about 2/3 of the way down the barrel, so theres some of the underslun support still there, afix two plasmapistols with a bit of sprue, cover with the razorback turret top, enjoy.

Ravenger Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 i always thought it to be co-axle so it was the same weapon and if you had range both hit, i think the baneblade has an autocannon on one of its pie plates Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181220-lascannon-and-twin-linked-plasma-gun-turret/#findComment-2232262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 It doesnt say it Co-axial though, and theres no rules for Co-axial weapons in standard games.

mastrchief33 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Its essentially two guns in one. They both fire at the same target and have to be within the range of the respective weapon if you want to fire it. (if you have 24" you can fire both, if you have 25"-48" you can fire the lascannon). The only exception is that a weapon destroyed result only takes down one gun at a time. That is how you know it's not co-axial, otherwise you'd lose both.
