Editing Plasma (section)

==Squat Plasma Weapons==
Unlike the Imperium's failed attempts at trying to revive the Sollex-Aegis Energy Blade and to generalise the use of plasma-based firearms, the [[Leagues of Votann]] manage to maintain their vast armoury of [[Star Wars|lightsabers and blasters]] for both mining and warfare purposes.The colour of the Kin's plasma blades depends on which League forged it, with the Greater Thurian League's glowing orange while the Trans-Hyperian Alliance's are teal. Though since the Leagues regularly trade with one another it isn't uncommon to see Kin wielding weapons with the colors of other Leagues.
===Plasma Knife===
[[File:Plasma_Knife.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Plasma Knife]]
The smallest critter of the family. The Plasma Knife as its name implies, is the standard-issue combat knife of the [[Leagues of Votann]] [[Hearthkyn Warrior]]s. Short, light-weight and having a collapsible plasma blade which makes it even ''smaller'', the Plasma Knife could just as easily slice through ceramite as it is a piece of wood or flesh. The only issue of course, is the energy usage before this thing goes off combat to a normal combat knife which just needs to be sharpened.

They are also cultural weapons too, as they are carried as a badge of office by almost all of the Leagues of Votann's [[Kâhl]]s and [[Grimnyr]]s. They denote their wielder speaks with the authority of the League's First Ancestors and are rarely used in combat - except as a weapon of last resort.

Crunchwise, the Plasma Knife [[Wat|just acts as a regular old combat knife]], so you better off trade it with something better if you have the points to spare. Guess GW decided we needed a new [[Counts As|counts as]] tier weapon now that Chainswords are actually better than bare fists.

===Plasma Blade Gauntlet===
[[File:Plasma_Blade.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Plasma Blade Gauntlet]]
A mix between that of a lightning claw and a power sword. The Plasma Blade Gauntlet is a fist-mounted plasma sword that is largely used by the [[Hearthguard|Einhyr Hearthguards]] as their primary form of close-quarters assault. It's plasma-induced blade means that the weapon, like all CQC plasma weapons, could collapse when deactivated; saving space and overall weight of the weapon.

On the tabletop, the Blade Gauntlet is a S+1 AP-3 D1, +1 attack weapon. An alternative option for Einhyr Hearthguard, who wields them well since it somewhat offsets the lower number of attacks made per model.

===Plasma Sword===
[[File:Plasma_Sword.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Plasma Sword]]
The most basic of the basic, the Plasma Sword is the lovechild of a lightsaber and a power sword. Although it activates its plasma blade like a lightsaber, it still has the physical skeletal structure of a sword. Allowing one to collapse the blade into a more compact form. It is a definite step-up to the smaller Plasma Knife.

On the tabletop, it is a S:User AP-3 D1, +1 Attack. An Astartes [[Chainsword]] but better. The premiere can-opener for the Votann, you'll make every Space Marine around you green with envy with this.

===Plasma Axe===
[[File:Plasma_Axe_2.PNG|200px|right|thumb|Plasma Axe]]
The Plasma Axe is used if you also want to lob off heads as easy as you can chop up some firewood. The Plasma Axe is a one-handed CQC weapon used by Squats if they want to opt for a better armour-piercing dismemberment weapon than the Plasma Sword. Like all plasma weapons, the blade itself is collapsible, making the weapon lighter and more compact for storage.

Crunchwise, this thing is a S+1 AP-3 D1 weapon, one of the two basic CQC weapons used by the Leagues. A power sword by another name. Good for enemies with high armour saves.

===Forgewrought Plasma Axe===
[[File:Forge_Plasma_Axe.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Forgewrought Plasma Axe]]
An upgrade to your regular Plasma Axe.

The Forgewrought Plasma Axe is a mastercrafted plasma axe that is only used by the [[Kâhl]]s of the [[Leagues of Votann]]. The Plasma Axes boasts much higher intensity in heat; offering stupendous cutting power as a result.

Crunchwise, Forgewrought Plasma Axes are a master-crafted plasma axe, with +1 damage. A Kahl has this by default and it is one of his primary close combat weapons. Very nasty against even TEQs due to the extra bonus damage.

===Heavy Plasma Axe===
[[File:Heavy_Plasma_Axe.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Heavy Plasma Axe]]
The Plasma Axe's bigger cousin.

Heavy Plasma Axes are among the Leagues of Votann's most robust mining equipment, that [[Chthonian Beserks]] use to extract precious minerals. However, when called to battle, they will also use these upsized Plasma Axes as effective weapons against the Leagues' foes as well. Given the existence of its collapsible blade, the 'Heavy' part of the Heavy Plasma Axe isn't as massive as one would expect.

Tabletop wise, this weapon has 2 profiles, a Strike at S+1 AP-3 D2, and a Sweep at S:User AP-3 D1, with every attack roll making 2 attack rolls. Beserks get these by default, and they're no slouches with them.

===EtaCarn Plasma Pistol===
[[File:Etacarn_Plasma_Pistol.JPG|200px|right|thumb|EtaCarn Plasma Pistol]]
The EtaCarn Plasma Pistol is one of the chief primary products produced by the guilds of the [[Leagues of Votann]]. Possibly named in reference to the Eta Carinae star system.

These Squat Plasma Pistols are orders of magnitude superior to their Imperial counterparts; allowing one to [[Rape|fire overcharged plasma bolts without the worry of it exploding in your face.]] The sheer [[Awesome|awesome firepower and technical sophistication]] do come at a price, however. The sheer safety features needed to overcompensate for its ridiculous firepower means that its range is cut dramatically short than its equivalent.

On the tabletop, these little monsters are a permanently charged plasma pistol that doesn't overload, but with half the range at only 6". Don't expect to fire this too often. Still will pack a nasty surprise for enemies wanting to charge into CQC though.

Try with Ymyr for a bit more use cases because of that extra 4" range.

===EtaCarn Plasma Gun===

[[File:SquatPlasmaGun.jpg|200px|right|thumb|EtaCarn Plasma Gun]]
The EtaCarn Plasma Gun is one of the chief primary products produced by the guilds of the [[Leagues of Votann]].

Like their smaller brothers, the Plasma Gun provides much superior performance than their Imperial or Chaos counterparts; easily rivalling that of both the [[Eldar]] and [[Dark Eldar]] when it comes to efficiency, safety, maintenance and power. But whereas the Eldar cuts down on its raw balls-out power for increased range and firepower, the Squats does the opposite and overclocks it at the expanse of range.

Crunchwise, these things are a 24" HunTR 1, S8 AP-4 D2 plasma gun. The default weapon for the [[Hearthguard|Einhyr Hearthguard]] and packs a wallop of a punch at range.

===EtaCarn Plasma Beamer===
[[File:EtaCarn_Plasma_Beamer.JPG|200px|right|thumb|EtaCarn Plasma Beamer]]
The [[Dick|big dick assault rifle]] of the Leagues range of plasma products.

The EtaCarn Plasma Beamer is a Plasma Gun that behaves somewhat like a [[Lascutter]]; as in, it fires a continuous stream (Or drill) of plasma that vaporizes, melts and burrows through basically anything it contacts with. Since the EtaCarn Guild originally designed this monster as a mining equipment, it does its job quite well in punching through boulders to get that sweet, sweet ''moolah.'' Likewise, the Squats, being as pragmatic as usual, also found it just as useful in boring [[Terminator Armour]] a [[Anal circumference|new asshole.]] This awesome power does come at a price however, as the immense power upkeep means that its effective range is decreased to prevent overload.

On the tabletop, these goddamned monsters are 18" HunTR 1, S8 AP-3 D2 Plasma Guns with '''Beam'''. Overcharged plasma that won't ever blow up, proving that the Imperium got the junk left behind after the dwarfs left. Its short range makes it awkward to use, however.

[insert Ymyr rebuttal]
