Subject: Re:The Necromunda Project: American Steampunk Lascannon team
I love the idea (not what i had first imagined ) the concept has turned out well although only for my personal taste I would have had larger wheels but say no more.
As for the sound it makes , I would imagine some kind of noise when each charge of light is released if only from the burning of the surrounding air.
Does each rotating barrel provide a shot or do they produce the total charge needed with each full rotation

No, the barrels rotate simply to keep them from overheating when pumping out automatic big hot shots.

What about the noise of the machinery? I used to have a digital watch that made a high-pitched whine when you switched the light on so I can imagine that, scaled up to las cannon levels, could very well go "freem"!
I'm just making this all up of course, there is no Codex or anything to back me up

So FREEM is for your standard Lascannon, right? So the Las-Gat, would have a long drawn-out FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMM....and then the ratcheting sound of the barrels spinning after the shot right?
Thanks Skalk, but it isn't as dumb as GW's Praetorians - I kid, I love those old minis, but the difference is we are all used to those, we have all seen them. Not too many people have really done US Steampunk.
Yes Jake..exactly

Las-fire really isn't LASER, since LASER is an acronym implying a continous beam of concentrated light. We have no scientific contemporary tech, so we must deal with "IMAGINATION"

I saw a tv show once on the physics behind Star Wars and how essentially none of that would happen. No noise, no massive fireball explosion, none of that.
Also, ever notice how in EVERY sci-fi move / tv show / etc that has a fleet of space ship, they are ALWAYS all on the same level plane as the opposing ships? Why aren't they attacking from... uhm... above? Sideways? Which way is up? Gah!

I think he was speaking of the "Blasters" like the Storm Troopers use.
Like the gatler Dave. If its an Anti-personnel one then you may use the already established Multi-Laser rules and such, but the weapon has no armor penetration value.

Normally yes, but you could make one smaller and on a caisson like that lascannon, most folks would find it amusing.

A-10 cannon is mean! flames sculpted would look badass.
