So a while back I mentioned in tactica that it is in fact possible to john woo up some vanguards with twin plasma pistols (bolt pistols or even grav pistols if you want). This is rather impressive as a squad being able to layout 20 plasma rounds a turn is quite potent (albeit with 12" range but) as they can have jump packs they can literally just jump in wherever you want and blow the ever loving emperors peace out of them.

 

However the snag is I am not sure where one would source 10 of each pistol. Referencing the need for a left handed and right handed plasma pistol, as worst case is just converting hands over to using plasma pistols.

 

So I would ask if people are able to list where one can find a source of pistols, both hands, as I will most likely want to try this silliness out in the future. I mean, come on it's dual plasma pistols on marines who drop in from low altitude it would be visually awesome to imagine! (and telling your opponent here comes 20 plasma shots. Want to get spicy, overcharge to make most tanks dead!)

I tend to use eBay for bits shopping, although you may need to try a number of different places to find the 20 pistols you need. The downside is that left handed Plasma is relatively rare these days, as far as I know only the Vanguard Veterans kit and BA Death Company kit have lefty pistols now (the older Assault squad kit used to have one of each, but the new kit has all the pistols in the right hand and all the swords in the left).

I just so happen to have a TON of plasma pistols jamming up the bits box!Got a deal on a good ly size bits lot when my buddy sold his Salamanders army .Crazy cuz I remember wondering what the hell I would use them for!As for Lefty-righty ...quick count I got 34 right handed pistols and 21 or so left handed!The thing is they are mostly sans arms which would mean,simply finding arms and transplanting Plasma hands on to them.10 of each enough to get you started?
Death company kits have left and right plasma pistols (and hand flamers, and inferno pistols). Funny enough this has been a rule since 7th, so I built a squad of Firehawks VanVets with Grav pistols and hand flamers, they were very fun :D

Suspected GW had a preference, good to know though there are sources of reverse hands (would not be fun having bolt pistol hands of the correct hand). Thanks for the help. One day, you may see a WIP of the John Woo Elite strike team XD

Anvil Industry has a pack of left hands with pistol grips, in case you had spare right-handed plasma pistols you could also use them to change them to left-handed.

Sourcing plasma pistols shouldn't be too much of a problem, considering so many years being rejected by most players.
