I am making some more vet plasma gun squads and am in need of at least 12. Does anyone know where to get some (plastic or resin) ones for a decent price? Hopefully less then 2$ per gun. Marine ones are fine as it is basically the same gun.

The warstore has a great selection of bits.

GW has them for sale on their website.

Ebay

GW's are metal and require a lot of cutting to fit guardsmen.

www.bitsandkits.co.uk currently says any plasma gun cannot be ordered. Though it does say their site is moving. Nice price if they get them and can ship.

Thewarstore, though loved has guard ones for 5$ a piece and SM ones for $3.50.

It being one of the more uncommon weapons on any sprue, they are going to be expensive. Might I ask why you decided on plasma guns?

Ebay is great, $1.75 each, not bad

I will have to check out ebay again.

Plasma rocks for taking out MC's termies, SM's and as a general all around good special weapon.

I wish the meta had not gone to armor (and melta to deal with it) I miss guardsmen melting into a pile of goop.

Cadian or Catachan guard?

Well Cadian but it really does not matter as they can be converted back and forth. The plastic plain SM ones also work fine with or without arms.

Just asking as it's easier to convert the metal Plasma Gun blister pack for Catachans. It's what I used:

You just gotta cut off the hand but that's not really a big deal.

The catachans not hold the gun as tight to their body as the cadians? I found I have to often chop off the back half of the gun and then angle the part that touches the body to get it to fit.

Depends on the arms. The hard part is that Cadians come with the gun pre-attached and the hand is sometimes molded onto the gun. Here's just a standard Catachan with a plasma gun. I apparently got a little lazy and didn't bother chopping off the hand.

You know that does not look too bad. Just do that with the grenade launcher or flamer arm and pin it and it could look pretty sleek.

Thanks slowpoke.
