Editing Plasma (section)

==Ork Plasma Weapons==
The [[Orks]] have only three plasma weapons, but that's all they need. It comes in many different shapes and sizes.

===Kustom Mega-Slugga===
[[File:Kustom_Mega_Slugga.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Kustom Mega-slugga]]
This is the weapon for a [[Mekboy]] to use when he finds himself in a pinch and wants to have a weapon that can tear Terminators a new one, and yet still has a convenient enough size to be wielded with one hand.

While the "rare" Plasma Pistols used by the Imperium may be found in the hands of a lot of people, the Kustom Mega-slugga may only be found in the hands of a Mekaniak, specifically not the ones wearing Mega Armor because those have outgrown the compact size given by a Slugga. Appearance-wise, the cooling vent looks exactly like it was ripped off from a Sunfury pattern of Plasma Pistols. Accompanying that is the pilot flame-looking thing that certainly makes the Slugga look like a Hand Flamer on top of a Plasma Pistol. The spherical Plasma canister is attached to the back, which raises the question to what the rectangular object attached to where a magazine might be might be. Considering the existence of what appears to be an ejection, it wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that the Kustom Mega-slugga doubles as an actual Slugga. But if this is actually the case, it probably is not represented on tabletop. Since it is a "Kustom" gun, there should exist at least some variants made by some Meks that can do just that. The Kustom Mega-slugga has a couple wiring attached to the power pack carried by the same Mek. The wires end right at the handle where a tube seems to combine whatever came from those two and send the mixture to the Slugga proper.

Despite a lesser range, it is a Pistol, meaning that you can fire whilst in [[FATAL|''melee'']]. So, happy hunting!

===Kustom Mega-Blasta===
[[File:Kustom_Mega_Blasta.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Kustom Mega-blasta]]
A while back, some random Mek took a plasma gun from some dead Imperial and thought to himself "''We needs us sum ov dese''".

Perhaps due to how Ork Meks generally prefer the "''Go big or go home''" approach, the Kustom Mega- family skips the comfortably handheld Shoota generation and straight to the slightly more cumbersome that is Blasta. In practice, the Kustom Mega-blasta is essentially a Plasma Gun equivalent for the Orks; though whatever comes out of the barrel can pretty much be anything, the common feature that binds these guns together is the fact that it can and will explode at some point.

[[Big Mek]]s clad in [[Mega Armour]] tend to carry a Kustom Mega-blasta instead of their usual smaller Mega-slugga. But since "Kustom" gears are pretty much exclusive to the Meks who make them, beyond their workshops, the Kustom Mega-Blaster is typically found on those Orks who can afford one. Orks abundant with material wealth such as [[Lootas]] may be found sporting a Kustom Mega-blasta. Likewise for some reason, some [[Burna Boyz]] may also be found using one of the same breed as well. Slightly bigger machines such as [[Deff Dred]]s on the good side of the Meks may also have a Kustom Mega-blasta on the side as well as [[Morkanaut]]s. [[Grot Tanks]] along with the bigger [[Grot Mega Tank|Mega Tanks]] may also have a Mega-blasta turret. Understandably as a rather curious piece of machinery, the [[Warkoptas|"Chinork" Warkopta]] has a Kustom Mega-blasta as its big gun option.

As far as the "Gets Hot!" rule is concerned in 8th Edition, Orks naturally don't give a fuck – firing at maximum power is their default setting, so they also always have the danger of the weapon blowing up (''which is also more fun for everybody involved'').

===Kustom Mega-Kannon===
[[File:KustomMega-KannonProfile.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Kustom Mega-kannon]]
Ork philosophy dictates any weapon to be inevitably bigger for the sake of Dakka, no exceptions, not even the Kustom Mega- family.

The Meks seem to have again skipped a size and went straight to vehicle-grade weight of a Kannon. Despite the increase in load, the Kustom Mega-kannon is typically seen only on two things. First is a [[Mek Gunz|Mek Gun]], which we all know is a giant gun on wheels manned by Grots. In terms of appearance at least for the specimen we have, it looks just like an [[Inferno Cannon]], particularly the breed mounted on the [[Malcador Infernus]], but in a much smaller package and not fueled by Promethium, of course; also, nothing screams "''bigga and betta''" better than having two barrels in addition to being much bigger.

Unlike the smaller Kustom Mega- weapons we've seen so far, the Kustom Mega-Kannon does not seem to have a distinct Plasma sphere. We can probably speculate that the Plasma in question is built into the gun, if at all. Another vehicle that has the Mega-kannon is the [[Morkanaut]]. Now, the one on the Morkanaut is obviously special since recently, it is now a '''Kustom Mega-zappa'''. Of course, looking at it, the Kustom Mega-zappa does have a few notable differences from the kind mounted on wheels. Morkanauts obviously have more space to install auxiliary equipment to make the Mega-zappa fire better. The armor provided by the Morkanaut should also provide the volatile Mega-zappa some protection as well.

Practically, as in tabletop-speaking, the Mega-zappa is simply a more powerful version of the Mega-kannon in all aspects but range, where it remains the same.
