Post any weapons or pieces of armor you've made and would like to use in DH. Rules aren't needed, just a picture and some fluff if you have it.



The forges on Perinetus have been churning out weapons and armor for most of the imperial guard regiments in the Calixis sector for 2,000 years. During the early days of the Tranch civil war, the intense close quarters fighting and lack of high-armor piercing weapons among the loyalist forces lead to the development of the 'Gunblast' deep within Perinetus' forges. The power of the bolter was unable to be effectively used in the close quarters combat due to the length of the non-astartes version. The folding stock doubles the length of the weapon and make it unwieldy. These design flaws were met in the gunblast with a bullpup design and a short, hard stock. The Mark IV is one of the most reliable designs and is easily customized on a mission-by-mission basis. Some higher-up nobles and commanders in the sector have had secondary weapons such as plasma pistols and under-slung grenade launchers attached to their gunblasters for increased killing power, leading to more designs and marks, all with the Mark IV as their basis.
