Modelling twin-linked warrior guns

[aurus]

Hello everyone,
How would you go about modelling twin-linked deathspitters or a twin-linked venom cannon in an interesting way? Mashing two identical guns on them is cruddy looking - what I am currently doing is just simply making greenstuff tubes leading from the excess limbs down to the gun and ammo pipes. Simple, but effective.

You could make the weapon look doublebarrled or something similar

had i seen this thread before i posted i would have just dropped my pics here ._. *unobservant* anyways heres my way of doing it, thetyranidhive.proboards28.com/index.cgi?board=converting&action=display&thread=1194722657

Do remember that you can't give Warriors a Twin-Linked Venom Cannon. The 'one per Brood' restriction means you can't buy a second one to have it count as Twin-Linked.

[aurus]

The rule states that one warrior per brood may purchase a venom cannon. It says nothing about how many cannons that single warrior purchases.

"a venom cannon" implies a single gun only. now take out the 'a' and you could add two cannon to the same warrior, but the 'a' means one and one only. Also, despite the working saying that two guns the same count as a single gun for firing, that comment referst to the action of firing, the warrior still has to have two guns to count.

i phoned GW about this and they say its ligit to have twinlinked venomcannons on a warrior.

[Trygon]

They are wrong. You cannot count the opinion of some teen working at GW over the hard and solid rules in the codex itself.

[aurus]

Thank you pandinus, that's very helpful.
EDIT: people are responding faster than I can. Teens working for GW are the ones who run the tournaments, are they not? And if he responded quickly and without self-debate, you can relatively easily assume he had answered a similar question before.

until I see it in an official FAQ, I will count the GW person wrong - it has been known to happen

I have called the GW guys many different times and got 4 different people to say that twin-linking VC's or BS's on a Warrior is legal. IT IS!!!. Though "a" GW guy can occasionally be wrong about stuff, 4 different individuals on 4 different calls cannot all be wrong, especially since they work with the people who wrote the freakin' Codex.

There is no need to see this in an FAQ, it is plainly spelled out on pg 30 in the Codex and pg 30 in the Main Rules. When 'Nid has 2 of the same weapon he counts them as twin-linked, twin-linked weapons count as a single weapon.

The wording is "only one Warrior per brood", not only one VC or BS. The article "a" is only used to describe the weapon being purchased, not limiting it to one or else it would say "only one". Either way, buying the second BS or VC turns both into 1 twin-linked BS or VC. So even if the a Warrior could only carry one VC or BS, a twin-linked VC or BS is a single VC or BS.

hmmm... i think you have a good point there... Can i ask who you actually rung? not the individual person just the store you recieved those responses from.

[Hive Fleet Green Locust]

I didn't call a store, that's where inconsistancies happen. I called the main FAQ hotline from the Website, i.e. GW HQ. So that is what I mean by the people who work with the guys that wrote the Codex.
