Decide whether the five-pack of Fusion Guns suits your squad's special weapon slots, with fit rules for 28mm heroic scale and kitbash planning tips.
Quick answer
Buy the Fusion Guns x5 pack when you need five identical special weapons to fill squad slots in a 28mm heroic scale force. If you only need one or two guns, or your models are a different scale, skip this pack and look for a single-gun option or a different accessory instead.
What you actually get in the pack
The pack contains five Fusion Guns, product code 70811, from the Victoria Miniatures range. They are weapon accessories designed to be added to your miniatures for tabletop gaming or display. There are no arms, hands, or mounting hardware in the pack. That is a deliberate limitation: you supply the arms and hands from your existing kit, which lets you match the gun to the pose and sleeve style you already have.
Fitting the guns to your squad
These guns fit 28mm heroic scale troops. That scale is the common tabletop standard, but heroic proportions vary between manufacturers. Before you commit to five guns, test-fit one against a spare torso or arm from the squad you are building. If the gun looks too long or the grip sits awkwardly against the hand, you may need to trim the grip or pin the gun at a slight angle. Resin gun bits cut and sand easily, so a small amount of adjustment is normal.
- Check the hand size on your squad's arms; heroic scale hands can vary enough to change how a gun sits.
- Dry-fit before gluing. Resin dust and mold release can make joints slippery, so clean the contact points first.
- If you plan to swap weapons later, consider magnetizing at the wrist or shoulder rather than gluing the gun directly.
How many guns do you need?
Five guns is a useful number for a special weapon squad or for spreading fusion guns across several line squads. If your list calls for one gun per squad and you run three squads, you will have two spares. If your list calls for two guns in a single squad, you will have three spares. Spares are not wasted if you also build a Penal Guard or Rausenburg force, because the same 28mm heroic scale applies across the Victoria Miniatures range. But if you only ever need one gun, a five-pack is more than you will use.
Mixing Fusion Guns with other squad kits
The Rausenburg Siege Corps 10 Woman Squad kit includes a Kill Team Special Weapons option, so it is a natural home for a Fusion Gun if you want a specialist in a greatcoat squad. The Tannenburg Heavy Weapons Team is a different kind of build: it is a modular push-together kit for three heavy weapons teams with six crewmen, and it uses Auto-Cannons, Heavy Bolters, or Laser Cannons. Fusion Guns are not a substitute for those heavy weapons, but they can arm the crewmen or nearby infantry if you want the squad to carry a mix of weapon types.
Resin handling and preparation
Resin gun bits need a quick wash in warm soapy water before assembly to remove mold release. Use a sharp hobby knife or fine saw to remove any flash, and wear a dust mask when sanding. Super glue works well on resin; accelerant helps hold small contact points. If you are new to resin, practice on a spare piece before you commit to a full squad's worth of guns.
Decision rules for buying Fusion Guns
- You need five special weapons: Buy the pack if your list calls for multiple fusion guns across squads or you want spares for future builds. Best value when you can use at least three of the five guns.
- You need one or two guns: Look for a single-gun option or a kit that already includes the weapon you need, such as the Rausenburg Siege Corps squad with its special weapons option. Skip the five-pack if you cannot use the extras.
- Your models are not 28mm heroic scale: These guns are designed for 28mm heroic troops. If your force is a different scale, test-fit before buying or choose a scale-appropriate accessory. Scale mismatch is the most common reason a weapon bit will not work.
- You want a heavy weapon team: The Tannenburg Heavy Weapons Team covers Auto-Cannons, Heavy Bolters, and Laser Cannons. Fusion Guns are not a replacement for those heavy weapons. Use Fusion Guns for crewmen or infantry, not as the team's main armament.
Product facts
- Fusion Guns x5: This pack contains five Fusion Guns, a weapon accessory suitable for 28mm heroic scale troops, product code 70811, from the Victoria Miniatures range. Five identical guns let you fill multiple special weapon slots in one purchase, but you need to supply your own arms and hands.
- Tannenburg Heavy Weapons Team: The Tannenburg Heavy Weapons Team is a fully modular, push-together 3D printed kit that includes parts to build three heavy weapons teams with six crewmen, using Auto-Cannons, Heavy Bolters, or Laser Cannons. This kit covers heavy weapon roles, so Fusion Guns are better used to arm crewmen or separate infantry rather than replace the team's main guns.
- Rausenburg Siege Corps 10 Woman Squad: The Rausenburg Siege Corps 10 Woman Squad is a resin kit with 11 female dress cap heads, 10 greatcoat torsos and legs, 20 small ammo pouches, a female officer arms sprue, and a Kill Team Special Weapons option. The included special weapons option means this squad can take a Fusion Gun without needing extra arm bits, making it a natural pairing.
- Penal Guard Legs (male): Penal Guard Legs (male) are five pairs of resin legs suitable for 28mm heroic troops and compatible with the Victoria Miniatures male range and popular plastic guard. If you are building a mixed force, these legs confirm the 28mm heroic scale that the Fusion Guns are designed to fit.
