Tiger9gamer Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 So I was thinking, what if a Tech priest doesn't want to irradiate everything they are fighting over and instead wanted a different weapon for their Vanguard. Would there be a good design or other type of weapon that could have the same effect in fluff? Like a Las gun that also sets fire to enemies nearby or a lighting shot that arcs to more people.

CommodusXIII Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Maybe an electrity-based gun, closer to a Tesla coil than the arc rifle? Static discharge could also count as rad poisoning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battybattybats Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I'd imagine a biotech poison bullet gun, the poison carefully crafted to dissolve and break down harmlessly in the environment so it debilitates those shot even from minor wounds but won't wreck the ecosystem the Magos Biologis are there to study.

SydonianDragoon404 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Lightning gun would fit, or heck a volkite weapon or an elite squad of Vanguard or some form of stubber weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magos Biologis, maybe...otherwise, they just craft the most effective poison, an cleanse the planet from any life, without risking corrupting the tech there (by radiation). As for the weapons, volkite are perfect (explosively burn flesh, explaining the double wounds), but are extremely rare in the fluff. Upside, FW sells them in all sizes. Lightning guns would be appropriate, but maybe a bit difficult to model. Miniature eradication beamers would look perfect for AdMech, and fit the theme of arcane weaponry, preferrably implanted. Also, take a look at FWs rad-cleansers, those are effectively fleshbane flamers by projecting broad-spectrum radiation. Or FWs graviton guns, the predecessors of 40k grav guns (but looking/working entirely different), they look enough like wacky tech and come both in handheld sizes and rapier mounted.

I do like the idea of lightning guns as I think my army may be based around an electricity themed or something, but I have no clue how I will model this. and I dunno If I want to buy all the forgeworld still like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommodusXIII Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Maxmini sells a tesla cannon, though it may be a bit large for your purposes. Anvil Industries sells an ion rifle and a few other interesting-looking energy weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Those are good, really good, but I don't know how I would do the hands as they are molded to the radgun, unless I convert Guardsmen squads as them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpwyrm Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Anvil Industry also has arms made for not-space marines and human-like models... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorNese Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 The rad guns already have sort-of-coils on them, just the barrel won't fit. Replace it with a small sphere (ball bearing or something), and it looks like a tesla coil tilted sideways and attached to a gun stock. For electricity, try superglue'ing threads (for sewing) from one coil to the other, and paint it ice-blue. Did that to represent laser pointers, could work here.

CommodusXIII Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Going that route, Zinge Industries sells tesla coils in two sizes. The smaller of the two may work for you. EDIT: A third, even smaller, variety is included in the "Mad Scientist" set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like this idea quite a bit, as It's easy to do, I think. What else could I cut off or make? and what do you mean by Replace the barrel? like put a tesla coil on the front of them? also, may I have the link for the anvil industry arms things?

mmimzie Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 If you just clipped the tips off and put the little dishes from dunestriders and crawlers. You could make a nuro-disruptor. Something made to disrupt complex motor skills. This would leave your victims twitching masses perfect for study or reprograming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger9gamer Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 It won't be for a Magos Biologis, but just like a warlord or something. Like for cases where you want to fight over a hive city and you want people to live in it afterwards, not make it a chernobyl. I think that would make sense. What if there was a type of lasgun that lights people on fire almost like a volkite but still low tech? I am trying to think of ways to get bits and stuff.

BassWave Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Regular stubber loaded with incendiary tracer rounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targetlock Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Poison, lightning, tesla or volkite i reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 Regular stubber loaded with incendiary tracer rounds? That could work too, as it's The same caliber in game and it would provide a nice explanation for the extra wounds. Maybe we say it has a big rate of fire to match? Plus fire is a lot easier to clean up than radiation I bet. I'm still liking the tesla idea too, and I may need to convert a model with extra bits for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
