If you have any questions or concerns, put it in my talk page. You can also contact me on Discord @2d4fag.

Current Projects:

* Import better templates
* <s>Setup QuestyCaptcha</s>
* <s>Nuke the Campaign namespace</s>
* Remove those joke templates they put at the top of the page
* <s>Enable QuestyCaptcha for account creation</s>
* <s>Nuke TGHEIM namespace</s>
* Use Manual:Pywikibot/redirect.py to nuke broken redirects
* Fix pages whose titles start with a forward slash.

tbh I've given up. I'm going to kill myself once the weather warms up and the campaign I'm running ends. This site will stay up at least another year after I'm gone. Longer depending on what happens to the money in my bank account.

Why was the page cut, especially since it was there when 2d4 came back (and was part of it's gimmick ad)? Plus it leaves red links all across the 2d4 [[Special:Contributions/46.205.196.189|46.205.196.189]] 18:46, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

== RE: Remove those joke templates they put at the top of the page ==

Outta curiosity, what was wrong with the joke templates to start? Were they considered cluttering or what? [[Special:Contributions/50.65.212.96|50.65.212.96]] 00:45, 17 February 2025 (UTC)

i extraneously disapprove of both the campaign & /tg/heim's erasure, what kind of archive does that?, in any case if you are sticking to your guns, a simple search will reveal that there are still 30 pages related to /tg/heim if you search for it & a lot more linking to campaigns, in fact one escaped your nuking [[TG/heim:_The_Forsaken_of_Mermedus_(Norse_Warband)]], you should have blocked editing of them after adding a warning that they are left as historical records instead of deleting them, you disgust me.

as an aside, i know it was barebone(singular), but is what was done to the [[Fatemasters]] page really acceptable? [[User:PrincessLoverEleventeen|PrincessLoverEleventeen]] ([[User talk:PrincessLoverEleventeen|talk]]) 15:59, 20 February 2025 (UTC)

Plasma Syphon

{{MattWard}}
{{heresy}}

Every once in a while, something so egregiously stupid comes up in a Codex for [[Warhammer Fantasy Battle|WHFB]] and its sequel in the [[Warhammer 40,000|41st Millenium]] that it makes analysts wonder what ungodly thought-process caused it to wind up in there, either because of relentless [[cheese]], or because of brain-shatteringly bad units. In previous codices, examples included randomized Wyrdboy and Psyker power rolls, randomized Possessed Space Marine abilities, the 5th edition incarnation of [[Chaos Spawn|that which must not be named]], [[Blood Angels|Blood Angel]] Force Weapon Dreadnought and deep-striking [[Land Raider]]s, and the WHFB Chaos Daemons Codex made by your [[Matt Ward|Spiritual Liege]] in general.

Whilst the [[Grey Knights]] codex is loaded with bad fluff, cheese units that are basically equipped with "I win" buttons, and so on, a few examples stand out more than others. The '''Ulumeathi Plasma Syphon''' is one of these, and is considered by most of /tg/ to be one of the stupidest, most facepalm-inducing Wargear options ever transcribed to paper in the 40k universe, and considering what's already in the codex, that's a ''hell'' of an accomplishment, considering bullshit like Psychotroke and Rad Grenades.
==What is it?==
The Ulumeathi Plasma Syphon is a unique piece of defensive wargear that can only be assigned to an Ordo Xenos Inquisitor. Fluff-wise, its a piece of xeno-tech that contains an array of crystals that resonate certain frequencies that destabilize the flight of plasma bolts, making any kind of plasma weapon unable to shoot accurately once they are under the influence of the syphon. More free-thinking (see: Radical) Ordo Xenos Inquisitors may sometimes use these in combat. Why the Grey Knights would tolerate this blatant heresy is unknown, but the Ordo Xenos doesn't give a fuck what the Grey Knights think, they have [[Deathwatch|their own force of murdermooks]] that isn't as squeamish about using tools of dubious origin.

Crunch-wise, when equipped, it makes any unit firing a plasma-type weapon within 12" of the Inquisitor as BS1 - functionally ensuring that any Plasma-firing unit will never be able to hit what its firing at unless it's a blast or large blast template (in which case it can still go wildly off-course with an unlucky roll, although it potentially can krump anyone near the inquisitor). What this basically means is that Plasma Weapons - long the Imperial's go-to weapon for dealing with heavy infantry - can be rendered completely irrelevant by strategic use of an Inquisitor as a screening unit. Thanks to some very sketchy errata by [[Matt Ward|Our Spiritual Liege]], the Plasma Syphon also affects Tyranid Bio-Plasma, Tau Pulse Weapons (which makes extra no-sense as pulse weapons are demonstrably not plasma, as Tau HAVE Plasma weapons and these are different), Eldar Starcannons, and Dark Eldar Disintegrators - just for starters. All in all the concept isn't such a terrible idea and could be a nice addition to [[Dark Eldar|an army with vulnerable commanders]], but that's not what we are talking about here.

Because an Army with 2+ armor saves and W2 terminators throughout needed more survivability, obviously.

==The Problem in a Nutshell==
At a glance, the Ulumeathi Plasma Syphon doesn't seem so bad from a balance perspective - it only works on units within 12 inches, so it can generally only screen 1 or 2 units at a time. The problem arises when one pairs this with how many transport options the Grey Knights already possess - whilst the range ''is'' very short, to be sure, in [[/tg/]]'s extensive tests, it's extremely possible (distressingly so) to get a Plasma Syphon Inquisitor with a [[Rhino Transport|METAL BOX]] or [[Chaos|Dark Gods]] help you, a Stormraven, in range in the first two turns after isolating the most dangerous plasma weapon-armed threat on the table, and it certainly did not help that the grey knights are small elite enough army that one or two units may be half of their army.

Because of the huge variety of units that can be affected, the low cost of the inquisitor and the fact that he is hardly a weak unit on his own - especially backed with a competent retinue - this can get ugly in a hurry. For example, dropping off a squad next to a [[Leman Russ Battle Tank|Leman Russ Executioner]] functionally means that that Leman Russ isn't doing shit to what it ''should'' be firing at (the GK Terminators), and instead has to deal with the Inquisitorial retinue, either by going all-out and driving away (wasting a turn in the process), or firing on the Inquisitor itself. In the case of smaller units or those with rapid-fire weapons, the second option becomes a stunning attempt to copy [[Dakka|Ork Shooting]], with tons of ineffectual dice rolls hitting the table - after all, meleeing a unit with Fire Warriors is not exactly a stunning move of [[Creed|tactical genius]]. It's not quite broken, but rest assured that it can be [[RAGE|fury]] inducing if used by remotely competent players.

The main counter to the tactic is drowning the Inquisitor itself in not-plasma - if he's on his own, pop him with a Lascannon, Krak Missile, Meltagun, or Railgun shot - otherwise rely on antipersonnel firepower, and drown his squad in massed anti-infantry weaponry (Heavy Bolters, Autocannons, and so on], ideally from outside his range. If he's with a team, use Battle Cannons, Railgun Submunition Shells, or the like to curb-stomp him and his retinue in one go. Once he's down, the screening becomes a non-issue, and you can use your plasma weapons with impunity. At the obviously reasonable cost of all of your armies non plasma weapons plinking away at by far the least threatening thing on the table, potentially for multiple turns.

However, one other way to deal with this is orks. Possessing little 'plasma' weaponry and BS2, this has next to no effect on them, so, as always, the most efficent way to kill termies is 30 ork boyz. <s>Or for Tau, they can just markerlight everything like always.</s> Unfortunately, this piece of shit wargear reduces your BS to 1 ''after'' you've expended those precious little markerlight tokens.

6E's Inquisition E-Codex hastily attempts (Read: ''attempts'') to cover this up with the many allies the big I can take (even the Tau can exploit this, though their alliance is only decked to Desperate Allies), but this still becomes a major middle finger to the forces of Chaos, who can't at all ally with them (though the jury's out if it's possible if the Chaos/Orks is a second allied attachment to the main army). However, this doesn't even try to cover up such an obviously stupid item. However, it ''does'' note it's only plasma as define by the rulebook, meaning Tau Pulse weapons no longer count.

So yeah. It's bullshit and it's not cool. When units with 2+ saves, an invulnerable save, and multiple wounds per model can be near effortlessly be screened from the only ubiquitous anti-exactly-that-kind-of-unit weapon, there's something wrong in the fabric of the universe.

*Then again with 6th there're a whole lot of other AP2 weapons other than plasma or most players just unload an insane number of wounds making butthurt over this kinda pointless.
**Last poster is correct. The meta is full of so much AP2 now that terminators are less the juggernauts they once were and are essentially guardsmen vs AP- weapons, with their 5++ save. The Syphon is not broken. Errata has also stated that it only works on weapons named plasma, no longer against Tau pulse weapons or anything else like that, just plasma (remember Crisis suits can have S6 plasma guns).
***As of 7th, the ''primary'' issue with this is at least somewhat allayed in that rules which involve measuring distance from a model only work while the model is embarked if the rule explicitly says it does, which the Syphon does not (nor has it ever), so your Inquisitor has to disembark to get his Syphon out. As noted above, what with the new-found ubiquity of non-plasma AP2 weaponry, like the extremely undercosted grav-cannon, it's not the worst thing ever any more.
*** In 8th Edition the Plasma Syphon is a no longer a thing. . However if a future Inquisition codex does bring it back. It would be quite pointless, as Plasma has been upgraded across the board. A huge boon to all Imperium players, except Grey Knights. Inquisitors also have the option of being Psykers, deprecating the need for the Syphon. More so if they use the Terrify physic power.

6E's Inquisition E-Codex hastily attempts (Read: ''attempts'') to cover this up with the many allies the big I can take (even the Tau can exploit this, though their alliance is only decked to Desperate Allies), but this still becomes a major middle finger to the forces of Chaos, who can't at all ally with them (though the jury's out if it's possible if the Chaos/Orks is a second allied attachment to the main army). However, this doesn't even try to cover up such an obviously stupid item. However, it ''does'' note it's only plasma as define by the rulebook, meaning Tau Pulse weapons no longer count.

So yeah. It's bullshit and it's not cool. When units with 2+ saves, an invulnerable save, and multiple wounds per model can be near effortlessly be screened from the only ubiquitous anti-exactly-that-kind-of-unit weapon, there's something wrong in the fabric of the universe.

*Then again with 6th there're a whole lot of other AP2 weapons other than plasma or most players just unload an insane number of wounds making butthurt over this kinda pointless.
**Last poster is correct. The meta is full of so much AP2 now that terminators are less the juggernauts they once were and are essentially guardsmen vs AP- weapons, with their 5++ save. The Syphon is not broken. Errata has also stated that it only works on weapons named plasma, no longer against Tau pulse weapons or anything else like that, just plasma (remember Crisis suits can have S6 plasma guns).
***As of 7th, the ''primary'' issue with this is at least somewhat allayed in that rules which involve measuring distance from a model only work while the model is embarked if the rule explicitly says it does, which the Syphon does not (nor has it ever), so your Inquisitor has to disembark to get his Syphon out. As noted above, what with the new-found ubiquity of non-plasma AP2 weaponry, like the extremely undercosted grav-cannon, it's not the worst thing ever any more.
*** In 8th Edition the Plasma Syphon is a no longer a thing. . However if a future Inquisition codex does bring it back. It would be quite pointless, as Plasma has been upgraded across the board. A huge boon to all Imperium players, except Grey Knights. Inquisitors also have the option of being Psykers, deprecating the need for the Syphon. More so if they use the Terrify physic power.
