I recently downloaded the catachan codex from their website and in it it said that i could find weapon data in the IG codex. I looked there for the autogun/pistol for the catachan devils, but there was no entry for the autopistol. It wasnt in the witchhunters or Deamonhunters either. Was this removed from the game after the 3rd eddition? If so, i would appreciate it if somebody could dig up a 3rd eddition IG dex and post the stats here. If the stats still exist, call me a loser and pls tel me what codex to look in. TY

Its not a stupid question at all, the auto-weapons have a very simple profile. It has the same profile as a lasgun or pistol. Why it has been removed I don't know.

Basically it counts as a lasgun/laspistol.

 

[cccp]

i thought they were still in the IG codex. but anyway, theyre the same as lasguns.

 

[kelvingreen]

Yes, they've disappeared from the Codexes/ices (are they still in the Wargear book? Does anyone have that?), but they're the same as laspistols/lasguns.

 

[cccp]

i have the wargear book but a lot of it is redundant now. and i really cant be bothered to go and look....

 

[kelvingreen]

Really? I thought the Wargear book was the most up-to-date source of weapon information?

 

[cccp]

it was when they released it two or 3 years ago. unless theyve updated it since with every new codex release its essentially worthless now.

 

[Cadian81st]

Yeah, I think it's OOP now while they make a new one. IIRC, it said current up to jan 2005, and it's jun 2007, so yeah...

 

[kelvingreen]

They're still selling it on the GW shop front page, so it's not oop, unless GW have cocked up somewhere, and we all know they never do that... :wink:

 

[Cadian81st]

Oh, maybe they're still selling it in the UK, but I can't find it anywhere in the US store

 

[cccp]

its a now rubbish book. and that concludes that. its odd that you cant find autogun stats anywhere.

 

[kelvingreen]

ts odd that you cant find autogun stats anywhere.

Well, does anyone in the current game use them? They're in my Genestealer Cult list, but that's a holdover from 3rd, and there's no option in the IG Codex for them. They've fallen by the wayside with the move into 4th, it seems.

 

[cccp]

some do i think. catachans etc. its mentioned in the guard codex though, and there are stats for an autopistol but no autogun.

 

[Greyskullscrusade]

Ive never seen anyone put autoguns in their army, except in one SM conversion.

 

[kelvingreen]

You'll see them in Ork armies, I'd expect, as the 2nd Ed plastic Gretchin had them, and a few people still use them, instead of the hideously expensive metal Grotz. Although they'll be played as Grot Blastaz, of course.

 

[cccp]

catachans have them i think. they are extensively mentioned in the fluff.

catachans have them i think. they are extensively mentioned in the fluff.

they are always surpassed by lasguns in the game, but in the BL books everyone has an autogun!
