Has anyone tried equipping a captain with double plasma pistols and a jump pack in 40k? Im interested in giving it a shot

Gets hot though.... no chain fire. May not be cheapest idea but fun one.

I dunno about the captain, but I liked the idea and wondered if chaos could do it. They can't have dual plasma, though warpsmiths could take a melta and plasma pistol, unfortunately they can't take jump packs or bikes...or mounts ;_; So yea, csm lacks dakka on characters. However, they can get some of the best anti horde dakka in the game. Albeit at an exorbitant price, but it could be funny.

You could take a Black Legion sorcerer, with memory of the yuranthos, brand, skull and crucible, then stick him on a tzeentch mount with sigil and familiar. You'd need a some extra psychic dice from somewhere, but I suppose a cabal would work.

You'd have an eternal warrior, mastery lvl 4 sorcerer that would only fail a save on a 2++. Throwing out a 36 inch bubble of firey death, (torrent) flamer(s) and you don't even need line of sight for the nova. Potentially casting 4 powers plus the brand per turn. Of course he'll kill himself by turn three latest. Be it from the nova, chaos boons or perils but hey.
