It’s gone out of stock before, so I assume they’ll reprint it again.
In short no. It's not on the forge tyrants list nor on the he trading post. If it gets added to an updated trading post then yes but not as things stand.
What about if stimmer dies and weapon go in stash can he then pick maybe or still no?
Still no, it's not a weapon that can be given to a Forge Tyrant at all.
So my son(6 Turing 7) wants a zerker. . And well he wants one that no one else can have(I sculpt scratch built), but try as I might I cannot find how tall the zerker model is, nor can I find anyone who is willing to measure the joints for me. Help me YakTribe. . . You my only hope
Thanks. @Devilmixer I will be sure to upload my Frankenstein creation once it is done. 3" tall Holy frick!
@Devilmixer . . . Well I have less than a month so kind of screwed. But still going to do everything I can go get it done. . . He is going to name him Shredder. . . . And yes I have to do the mask. . . . DOH!
So... flamer Weapons. Apart from rule of cool is there much point to taking one at all?
If no why do they even exist in the gang weapons list?
Weren’t they at one point thought of as the lowest of the heat weapons options, why are they so credit expensive now?

Handflamers are definitely worth it, particularly on Prospects.
Regular flamers are pretty niche, but are good if you know you're fighting on Zone Mortalis a lot of the time.
Heavy Flamers are garbage, one of the worst weapons in the game.
Blunderbuses are incredibly good, imagine a handflamer and a combat shotgun have a baby, and it's cheaper than either of them.

I’m currently painting a hand flamer so that’s good to hear. I was thinking about the flamer but at its price I think the combat shotgun seems better. Except it doesn’t set anyone on fire.
I have the resin Heavy Flamer as it was in the same pack. Looks cool but the price is extortionate.

Oh yeah, combat shotguns with Firestorm are better than flamers and cheaper, I'd forgotten about that!
So yeah, flamers aren't bad, they're just outshon.
As for the heavy flamer, you could remove it's unwieldy and it'd still be overcosted really.

If you're looking to speed the job up/reduce the sculpting, the torso of a chaos spawn or skaven rat ogre model would probably scale well. Arms are probably trickier but the large one could perhaps use an ogor for a donor, while the smaller arm you might be able to grab a bloodreaver arm and just sculpt a twisted shoulder.
For a more left-field approach, you could look at some of the privateer press troll models to convert; I'm thinking particularly the night troll, storm troll, winter troll or troll basher might suit (though only the first two are plastic; the latter pair are both metal/resin combo kits).
Only conclusion people have come to is whatever play testing was done on Zone Mortalis or terrain table with similar dynamics.
I’ve had fairly good success with template weapons of all kinds on Sector Mechanicus boards. They aren’t as easily dominant as on the Zone Mortalis tiles, but with the right mix of tactics, skills and tactic cards they are still very powerful.
Most scenarios even place the gangs 12-24” away so it’s not like it is a long slog across the board most of the time. Usually only one or two turns before it is hitting someone.
Thanks for the ideas. . . Regrettably i am limited to what resources I have around the house. . . Which should be enough.
Same, template weapons work fine on sector mechanicus, if you're building the board right with enough cover. They're not as good as in ZM but they are, in average, a 13" autohitting threat, more with skills like hip-shooting.
They work great as charge deterrents, particularly against gangs like Corpse Grinders who have no pin mitigation and like to clump up around cult icons.
In answer to the point on flamers, they're better thought of as disruption rather than killing pieces, they have a 50% chance of setting people ablaze and that just ruins peoples day.
