Among the forces of the Imperium, these weapons are highly coveted and usually end up in the hands of very high ranking officers and heroes of the Imperial Guard. Each one is like a miniature little sun launched out of the barrel. In the game mythology, plasma pistols fire energy 'bolts' of bright glowing plasma. For my next build, I decided to make a plasma pistol. While I've made a chainsword and the various versions of boltguns, I wanted something a bit more challenging.
I still haven't been able to get it out of my system, so I find myself building more prop replicas from Warhammer 40,000.
