Gentlemanloser Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I've just noticed the innocuous FAQ entry that totally guts what is classed as a 'Plasma' weapon. Making our UPS quite less useful that it used to be. The FAQ tells us to look to the 40k rulebook. The only description I can find of 'Plasma' weapons is on page 177 and covers the Plasma Pistol, Gun and Cannon. And that's it.

Jolemai Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Yet Starcannon, Suncannon, Pulse weaponry and Burst weaponry (to name a few) mention that they are Plasma-based in their Codex. Does Codex no longer override rulebook? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292283-plasma-what-is-got-nerfed/#findComment-3714507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 If there's a rule conflict. No sure they update the core BRB classification on what it considers Plasma Weaponry to be though. If the BRB had said "check each Codex" or the like, I'm sure we'd be covered. Now, Star cannons, Burst Weapons, etc aren't 'Plasma' Weapons. :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292283-plasma-what-is-got-nerfed/#findComment-3714516 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'd say Tau Plasma Rifles should be applicable to any sporting opponent, as they're Plasma Rifles...it's in the name. Pulse Rifles, Ion weaponry and Fusion weaponry all technically utilise Plasma, but only in the vaguest sense. Also some stuff like the Pulse Rifle flat-out can't work the way GW says it would Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292283-plasma-what-is-got-nerfed/#findComment-3714548 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclusiarch Darius Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Not that worrying though, its still a terrible piece of wargear ;) 12" AOE is useless in all but the most cornercase of situations.
