librisrouge Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm wondering when and where do you guys make use of plasma pistols? I really want to model a guy with storm bolter and plasma pistol on one arm (using grey knights bits) but mostly because I thought it would look awesome. I don't exactly have models to spare so I'm wondering if there is somebody that you guys would actually recommend with that loadout (plus any CCW.)

Captain Semper Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It would sure look awesome! Personally not a fan of plasma pistols with our current Codex but, as the rumors go, a new edition of the game is imminent and possibly a new 'dex too, so.. who knows! :tu: Tremendous help, aren't I?

HJL Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 As far as plasma pistols i put mine on anyone with bs5. Easy to make those 15 points back when you hit and wound on a 2. Im not sure that there is a specific use for a storm bolter and plasma pistol. If i were to do it though it would be a company master.

librisrouge Posted March 23, 2012 Author Share Posted March 23, 2012 The only ones that can take this would be Company Masters, Librarians, and Chaplains. I'm considering giving it to a Chaplain and then having him walk around with a Deathwing squad to give them a bit more umph.

Darth Badguy Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 It's a lot of points, but you could stick the end of a melta on one of the storm bolter barrels & use it as a combi-weapon. One of those with BS5 is probably pretty good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/249559-plasma-pistols/#findComment-3023219 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Immolator Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I put mine to whomever is gonna see action on the front lines and are guaranteed to see Close Combat.Captains,Chaplains,Assault squads(if you use those),Vet squads etc. Also i sometimes place them along with a Power fist on my tactical sergeants if they must hold an objective close to the enemy as a counter assault measure. I see it more as a situational investment rather than an auto-include piece of war-gear.For example i nearly never kit my dev sergeant as such because if they are in good cover and flanked by something else they wont move at all,let alone assault. As for the stormbolter.I feel the only units that need them are the ones that have them already:Terminators.Why bother kit power armored troops?Unless you plan on using the vets as a long range fire-support unit that is.But then again thats what devs are for. Now all this tactical-wise:Cool-wise i have my share of stormbolter/halberd equipped power-armored robed command-squad(not assembled or painted yet but i got the boxes :wacko:) for Azzy,i just couldnt resist those grey knight bits...
