Hey there - new to Tau and wanted to check a couple of things before I buy a my Crisis team

You get one of each weapon for each Crisis suit, yes? So for dual Fusion Blasters on one guy I'd need two sprues worth of weapons?
Do the weapons easily twin-link, or do I need to convert it somewhat to do so?

Want to use a total of five Fusion Blasters between two guys, so checking how many weapons I'll have and how simple it'll be to make them twin-linked. I'm more than happy to get five suits eventually, but being wrong would be nice - means building my kill-squad a little sooner if I get more than one of each weapon per suit.

Thank you!

You get 1 of each weapon per sprue.

Each weapon has a small rectangle on multiple sides *except the missile pod that fits into the same sized hole on the model's arms or shoulders.

To twin link you could put 1 on each side and call it twin linked or put 2 together and mount them somewhere. If you are going to mix twin linked and non twin linked on the same model or in the same squad I's go with the 2nd option as it more WYSIWYG

Aye, one guy will have a regular Fusion Blaster, and a twin-linked one, so will need to put two together. Thank you for the reply, now have a follow-up question.

Is if feasible to magnetise the twin-linked ones, rather than gluing two together, so I could use them as single Fusion Blasters should I want?

You can, but you can also find them for cheap on bits sites. it might be easier just to pick up a second FB.

The easiest way is to just leave them as single magnetized weapons.
For my crisis suits I've put a magnet in each of the slots in the arms and on the backpack. If you want to represent twin-linked more clearly put them on the same side (one arm and one on back pack) or both on the backpack while other weapons are placed on arms usually or vice versa.
