Hello, everyone.

I was reading the Gunslinger rule, and one thing that I thought of which might be possible is a Black Templars techmarine with a trio of twin linked plasma pistol. The loadout would mainly be for silly, but here is what it would be:

Techmarine
Servo-Harness (First twin Plasma Pistol)
Master-Crafted Plasma Pistol (Second twin Plasma Pistol)
Master-Crafted Plasma Pistol (Third twin Plasma Pistol)

My question is:

Would "Gunslinger" permit the Techmarine to fire his hand-held plasma pistols and then the servo-harness give him permission to fire his harness-mounted pistol? Or can he only fire two of them, despite what gunslinger claims?

Yes, the Servoharness allows him to shoot one harness weapon and one regular weapon. Pistol rules allow you to shoot 2 pistols.

So triple pistol away.

Now I want to model a Techmarine with a Cowboy hat.

But think of all the gets hot! rolls....

Meh, one is twin-linked and you have a 2+ armor.

This is awesome. Now for a second, perhaps more important question:

does he keep his power weapon when he chooses the Plasma Pistols from the armory, just like a chaplain retains his crozius?

Unless it says he trades it in, he doesn't lose it.

Note: Vanilla Marines can't do this, because you can only trade your boltgun in for a Plasma Pistol.

I don't know if BT are the same in that regard.

BT still use the Armory system. So what I read is a techmarine with:

2x Plasma Pistols
1x Twin Linked Plasma Pistol
Power Weapon
2x Servo Arms
1x Flamer

is a perfectly viable model?

LOL I will model one up right now!

Unfortunantly, it probably will go away in the next codex. Unless GW sees fit to give more Gunslinger options out there.

I know. I am sad about the new BT codex - I like this one, it makes a great Iron Hands / Mechanicus army.

/disappointed in change

Just like Cypher went away :(


If my oppent lets me I will still play with him in Chaos, IG, and DA.... Each get a different time of his life
