... or butter ... and if the butter is too cold to cut with the bayonett (e.g. out of the fridge) you may soften it up a little by dozends of laser salvos...

If it's cream cheese.

So the lasgun has uses, and maybe for making soft ice cream...

So are Leman Russ's now just Ice Cream distributers? Playing annoying music to everyone but Slaanesh, driving the enemy mad before drowning them in gooey iceyness?

main ice-cream distributor is the predator annihilator with lascannon sponsons

new defensive weapons for 5th ed : ice cream gun S4/ap 1/soft&creamy 10W6/apocalyptic blast template

Nasty gun, dont forget that it slows the enemy down, because they have to crawl through it.

special rule for the ice cream gun:
units under the template get washed back 6" , next 2 turns their movement is halved.

I want this gun now...

have to play IG or such to take this gun.

In my past game, lasguns put the final wounds on both of my opponents daemon princes.... and that's only firing 3 of them at each one...... never underestimate the power of a lasgun to the eye.

Aye that happens alot. Like the 3rd Ed fexs and rants when they only had a 5+ Invunerable. Always in a game there is the one off las gun shot.

Well whatever ... at least the lasgun has no recoil and there are 3 on each side on a chimera ...
... besides
with the new ed it isn't that bad ... imagine you plan to fire while moving, you have your multilaser, storm bolter / heavy stubber and 3 Lasrifles.
So the las is to blinding them for several seconds by shooting into their eyes. the multilaser is to make them angry by causing minor gangrenous spots and the storm bolter to make them real angry ... well ... this sounds like a plan to me xD

Ice cream gun special rule:
Any non-vehicle model hit by the template must roll a D6. If they roll higher than their toughness, they suffer Instant Death due to brain freeze. Vehicles instead suffer a stunned hit as the crew enjoy the icy treat.

Wow Killer brain freeze. What about Necrons? They have no brains to freeze?

Clogs up their workings. They go into computer meltdown

I should write to jervis! this ICE CREAM GUN must be in the IG dex!

Indeed! I shall send a letter at once!

One of the dudes in my GW is painting models for the IG codex. But write and write quickly!

They should be like an alternate ammo for Basilisks or Demolishers. Costs +10 pts for vanilla, +15 for strawberry, and +20 for chocolate. Other flavours cost 30 pts.

What is the difference? Besides having happy guardsmen?

@ space_hoppo: Your game table full of ice cream,wow thats a difference!

Plus:

If your guardsmen are happy, they become fearless and gain WS/BS 6, 8 Strength, 8 Toughness, and enemies in 24" must make a leadership test or succumb to an invitation to enjoy some ice-cream.

yeah but what does that have to do with lasguns?

@ tacobake : we started here =>

=> ended up with a new upgrade for lasguns and lascannons

So it is all to do with lasguns.

Lasguns are the main omnipotent tool of 40k!

Like a swiss army knife.

doing an mtv jack-ass stunt involving a dark carnival room of mirrors, a lasgun, a lubed up midget and Bam getting something up his hole with steve-o pucking in the background.....and ehran pussying out of the stunt

temporarily blinding that hawt sister of battle or repentia so you and your mates can check her out/cop a feel without getting your heads rippedthe F off
preserving the eldars sense of superiority (another ap- weapon, and with less strength)
Mechanicus is having a sale... "buy 50000000000 get 1 free baneblade (lasgun batteries and baneblade weapons not included)"

, crons dont get cogseses clogged up by the ice cream, the ice cream seaps into their hard drives and brings up a pc error, depending on OS provider:
Windows: "Windows Vista has encountered a fatal error, please re-install OS to continue"
Mac: "additional souls required to continue running OS 10, please send souls to Steve Jobs via UPS or FedEx express to continue service"
Linux: "download/install files corrupted, please re-download and re-install"
(Necrons are really the ancient and powerful warriors of the great ancient OS wars, Jobs, Gates, and the guy who came up with their respecite OS's are all C'Tan, no one remembers who became which C'Tan tho, much has been lost from those dark days...)
