Las guns will be better

Lasguns
The Lasgun is the most ubiquitous and prevalent weapon in His Majesties Imperial Guard. It is known for being resilient and powerful. Most Imperial Guard regiments use it at single shot at longer ranges and then switch it to fully automatic when closing with the enemy to suppress the enemy and gain the advantage.

The lasgun is a Rapid Fire weapon with the following profile.

Range 24” S 3 Ap – Rapid fire

The lasgun follows all the normal Rapid fire rules except when within 12” the Lasgun can choose to fire 3 shots rather than the normal 2.

Rapid firing with 3 shots is nasty... even if it is only strength 3 ap- .

Example. 20 man squad of Guard open up on Marine unit.

60 shots. 30 hit 10 wound. 3 guys die.

and thats only1 squad with no heavy weapons . and if they're shooting at Tau or eldar or Orks or Nids,, the effect is even greater.

I think its fair.

Hum...if youre within 12" range of me then im fucked anyways. Ill take the 3 shots. fuck your 3+ armor. this is for nerfing our russes.

Yeah, but actually Alfred with the rugged special rule we still get a shit-load of shots available, not to mention being able to fire our Exterminator full force!

Overall I found the codex to be very impressive, including alot of the pysker abilities (which have pros and cons with an Ld 8 little dude) and the point costs have changed alot. Very interesting and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

The flashlights finally got an upgrade !!!!

If we are gonna complain and cry about unfair...talk about the new Marine codex. Thats a steaming pile of bullshit.

Who ever said that this was unfair? I actually think people are excited that their increased possibilities of skin cancer!

crap!
