Forgeworld Bulletin: Increased Firepower!

Howdy Guys and Girls!

Today FW's Bulletin teased their new heavy weapons:

Mars-pattern Plasma Cannon

 Ryza pattern Lascannon

Proteus II- pattern Missile Launcher 

Rotor Cannon

Also, at the weekender, we saw the other weapons already:







I love the "Space Crusade" missile launcher and will get a pack of them for my Ultramarine Destroyers! What do you think about them? Write in the comments below!

Edit: Also, in case you wonder where the inspiration for these came from - take a look at Space Crusade!

  1. I love the rotor cannon, but its stat line is just not good enough at S3.

    1. Yep, they are so old-school :)

      Glad they re-used the style/concept of these :)

  4. Who'd have thought under-slung lascannons would look so good...

    1. Ikr, I'm getting at least 5 las cannons and 10 of the auto cannons, I don't trust myself with the current belt feed they have. It's sad to think I'll have 30 iron havocs once these weapons come out :3

      Gotta love cheap marine bodies :D

  6. I love the Missile Launcher . . . Would still prefer a gravity fed missile hopper which is on top, but it still is very cool.

    Going to have over the shoulder weapons for the slower Legions and under slung ones for the swifter ones.

    1. That's actually a pretty good idea :).

      Also, under slung for "fast" units (Veterans and Destroyers) ftw!

    2. I really, really like that idea. The underslung Launchers would make a good theme for my Zone Mortalis/Boarding team Vets/support squads.

    1. Yes they're heresy era weapons, but With the exception of the Volkite and Rotor cannon, you can slap them into 40k since they are Mars, Rysa, and other forgeworld pattern weapons. So its fluffy to believe many of those worlds would still be producing some of them. Or that chapters would still have some kicking about.
