DH/RT inconsistencies

[Madness]

I stated that DH/RT have some inconsistencies with the actual fluff, it's nothing scatter laser-size, but it's pretty widespread and I'd say that their canon is a little off.

Case in point is for instance the needle weapons, they went from elaborate las variants (the pistol being even rarer than the rifle, a la inferno pistol/meltagun) carrying extra poisonous package to syringe gun that would look silly even in the hands of an Ork Dok or Fabius Bile.

Your comparing 2nd edition stuff to dark heresy? Really, why not use some 4th edition codexs that use needle pistols like daemon hunters?



So comparing the dark hersy to the daemon hunter it looks pretty similar.

Indeed it does. Furthermore, slight variations on how a weapon looks is not an inconsistency because weapons almost always vary quite a bit depending on who sculpted the model.

[Madness]

I didn't post any model for that exact reason. Plus that's not a needle pistol, that's a rare wargear that has one muzzle firing a needle pistol equivalent. Consider that the rifles are the same ones in use right now.

[Necrosis]

It still a needle pistol and the weapons look similar. The top part is the bolt pistol and the bottom is the needle pistol.
On top of that the needle pistol in dark heresy looks alot similar to the Necromanda one.
I'll take the Eversor look over some 2nd edition stuff. Also remember what was back in 2nd edition? Squats.

The Needle Rifle is still an abomination, and the pistol is still uglier and dumber (as far as hard sci-fi as it could be), but that's just ONE example, just examine the availability of the weapons...

Inferno pistols are as rare as a heavy bolter.

Cause their is nothing more rare then very rare. Both are at the hardest levels to get which makes sense.

[Madness]

That's no excuse to mix archeotech with common heavy weapons. Or Bolters being Rare. Come on, it's just silly.

[Necrosis]

Of course bolters are going to be rare. Their not that common but then again their not to rare such as commissars and higher ranking officers having them.
Also look at the price difference between heavy bolter and an inferno pistol. The Inferno pistol is always 4 times as expensive. Thus in that sense it is rarer. Getting a heavy bolter or an Inferno pistol is ridicously hard.
You seem to be arguing the most minor details. The fact is an Inferno pistol or a heavy bolter is as hard as hell to get and is pretty damn expensive to.
