<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Space Marine Plasma Gun Pack questions"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Space Marine Plasma Gun Pack questions GW there is the Space Marine Plasma gun pack with 5 resin plasma guns, I have 2 questions that I'm hoping someone may be able to answer as I would like extra plasma guns for conversion purposes.

1) Quality; are they the fail-cast we have gotten to know and hate or are they a different type?

2) size; I thought I read someone mention somewhere that they are slightly bigger/wider then the older metal packs, can anyone confirm or deny this?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11246957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11246957.page GMT Space Marine Plasma Gun Pack questions GW's trademarked failcast resin, yes.
(They were originally metal parts. Failcast used the same moulds but with resin instead.)

Plasma guns didn't have backpacks. Plasma CANNONS had backpacks. there's one in the Devastator's box (which is all plastic).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247255.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247255.page GMT Space Marine Plasma Gun Pack questions

I meant the (blister) pack of metal plasma guns, not backpacks. Hence why I said plasma guns, nothing about cannons. Are the resin ones wider then the metal ones as I’m sure I remember someone saying that in a thread somewhere.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247266.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247266.page GMT Space Marine Plasma Gun Pack questions

They are supposed to be cast with the exact same mold as the metal were, so there shouldn't be a size difference. They may have been talking about the frame that failcast comes in though, which is a full frame around the models as opposed to the simple metal tab.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247624.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247624.page GMT Space Marine Plasma Gun Pack questions
While tedious, GW do have a good return policy on them. If they are failed. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247647.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247647.page GMT Space Marine Plasma Gun Pack questions http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247844.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/801725/11247844.page GMT
