If you made them into packs, I could see splitting a pack with some buddies. I don't think I would need multiples. This would be a great prop for the tramp steamer I want to build.

I would be in for a few. My Martian Sky Galleons need those.

There's always a use for a harpoon gun or three!

It is VERY necessary for all proper VSF flyers. And ships. And tanks. And…

I would buy a pack or two for sure. -Steve

What's the penetration factor? In other words, how many bad guys will it shoot through and then plant itself into the wall behind?

Wargamer5709 Feb 2010 8:01 a.m. PST

Who has a tramp steamer to go with it?

Disco Joe09 Feb 2010 8:02 a.m. PST

I could see maybe one. Any chance of combining it with something else as oppossed to a pack containing 2 or 3?

you should post to 40k sites also ,it would make a great orky vehicle add-on bit

Count me in for a pack or two. What better way to grapple a Martian kite from your Aeronef or even from the ground or tower to hold them in place. Oh yeah, I see alot of use for this.

I t hink a pack of very pulpy deck weapons would sell. How about:

Harpoon gun
Grapple gun (same as above with variant projectile)
Sonic blaster
Focusing heat ray
Pair of HUGE naval binoculars on deck mount
Searchlight

I'm in, but you can expect my order to be with Cybrt54, so just double the number he says…

I really like chicklewis' list, especially the deck-mounted binocs, but I'm just not as pushy. ;->=

Orky? Heck, CarWars/DarkFuture!

Dr Mathias Fezian09 Feb 2010 10:21 a.m. PST

I could use about six of these.

cybrt5409 Feb 2010 10:45 a.m. PST

Ditto on chicklewis's list, especially the pair of HUGE naval binoculars on deck mount. Yeah those would work on alot of things.

Disco Joe09 Feb 2010 11:23 a.m. PST

I like what chicklewis said except for the sonic blaster and heat ray. Everything else would fit in great.

jlstuht09 Feb 2010 12:28 p.m. PST

I would definitely have a go at a pack or two -- especially if you did up some of the goodies chicklewis mentioned!

Reviresco Sponsoring Member of TMP09 Feb 2010 1:28 p.m. PST

It sounds like a great idea. I'd buy one. Put it out and I'll get some more of those great sailors you do to go with my REVIRESCO tramp steamer.

Shinymelon09 Feb 2010 2:24 p.m. PST

Am i being dim in that I don't see a scale posited? would I then assume 25-28mm?

Personal logo chicklewis Supporting Member of TMP09 Feb 2010 2:30 p.m. PST

I have a few more suggestions:

Flame projector
Galvanic Cannon
Spigot mortar

surdu200509 Feb 2010 3:01 p.m. PST

I'm definitely in for a couple of each.

Oh, definitely make up a pulp deck weapons pack or two; maybe a more Flash Gordon-esque one and a King Kong one, so as to satisfy those who want to explore Barsoom *or* Skull Island, depending.

Bob Murch10 Feb 2010 12:23 a.m. PST

Thanks for the input gents! It looks like the project should go ahead-though by the sounds of it a few more deck items will be added instead of releasing a 3 pack of the harpoon guns.

Hooray ! In my book, Two-Fisted-Bob-Murch is the sculptor to admire !
