carpediem Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Could be weaving plasma around something like a cannonball, but then the projectile would have to survive a stupid level of heat stress in flight to be at all useful... Wait...my extremely limited understanding of physics suggests that to contain a plasma you need a magnetic field. What if there were something in the middle of the plasma ball that generated a magnetic field that kept the plasma from dissipating, and also provided enough mass to produce a sane ballistic arc? It wouldn't even have to survive for very long, and could be designed to fail on impact (BOOM!). The cost of any given shot would be astronomical in modern terms, though.

And yet, thats how ALL plasma weaponry in 40k (at least imperial) works :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292992-thanatar-siege-automata-up/page/2/#findComment-3730646 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ordo Machinum Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Stares at model... Oh great Forge God, we implore thee to cast your benevolent gaze upon my wallet.Let your burning power seethe through my credit card.Let your undying wards lay upon its magnetic strip and plastic shell.Let your mighty anger draw forth the funds with vengeance throughthe great mysteries of internet purchasing. Oh, and you accept PayPal too.Deliver this mighty armoured shell with your spirit so I may breathe life into its resin limbs. All power to the Omnissiah.

Demus Ragnok Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I looked upon it and my heart did cry out, PRAISED BE THE OMNISSIAH! GLORY TO THE MACHINE GOD!

badgermeister Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 i need to make the suitable noise when it fires for the first time once I've painted it up - any ideas on what noise it makes? i'm all pew pew'd out :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292992-thanatar-siege-automata-up/page/2/#findComment-3730730 Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Marshal Marcus Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 This thing is BOOOHHHHSSSS!!! Look at the size of it! And the coolness factor... The links chains for the TL Heavy Bolter looking thing... The big F*** O** Plasma Gun... Absolutely loving this model! It even looks like it can do alright in close combat :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292992-thanatar-siege-automata-up/page/2/#findComment-3730753 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 for how it sounds : got to ~30 seconds into this video I think that'd be suitable enough.

CoffeeGrunt Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I've always imagined the Plasma Cannons as sounding like the Wraiths from Halo. Just like how all Tau weaponry sounds like Mass Effect weaponry...

helterskelter Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I like what fire warrior on the ps2 did for the pulse rifle and what kill team/space marine did for plasma. Personally I''m rocking with the vortex cannon/cloud disperser for the noise of this dudes gun, definitely going to pick up one of these on further thought Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292992-thanatar-siege-automata-up/page/2/#findComment-3732461 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyaenidae Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Not to mention the Bolter actually being a grenade launcher of badassery. More like a gyrojet rifle blended together with a Mk-19, but I digress... This model is awesome, and my Iron Warriors demand 3 of them. Boom shakalaka.
