Puppetswar has a wide range of weapon options.  Today lets look at the Walker Plasmagun & Close Combat Arm bits.


Ratings:
1 toof -Far below average This product turned out to be a piece of junk. (rare)
2 teef – below average but not terrible. This product was a slight let down. (below average)
3 teef – Good, average, this product meets my expectations (average)
4 teef – superior to most of the products out there in either price, quality, etc this product goes above my expectations. (above average)
5 teef – Extremely high value or quality. This product blows me away. (rare)
Disclaimer:  I play 40k; I’ve played 40k since the 80’s.  When I look at a model I look at it from the perspective of how can I use this in 40k?  That’s not to say the model can’t be used in alternative ways it’s just my perspective.
Quality:  The quality is on par with previous Puppetswar releases.  They are good, fairly clean and have good detail.  There were a few places where mold lines were visible or I had to shave off some lines to get a smooth finish but nothing that is not out of the ordinary when dealing with resin kits.

Value: Price wise I think they on par with other offerings similar to this kit.  So I think its priced fairly and competitively.  What also nice is the walker arms are designed so that you can easily swap weapons out if you want to magnetize them at the elbow to save you form painting a lot of extra arms.

Look/Feel:  I still really like these arms.  I am not as crazy about these weapons as the auto cannons.  Not for any particular reason. The plasma gun definitely looks good and there is no mistaking it for something else.  Same thing with the close combat arm.  It looks way better than the standard plastic dreadnought close combat arm.

Seems to me these would work equally well for Chaos Space Marines as well.  Especially the likes of Alpha legion, Black Legion or Iron Warriors.
