Las = Red & Meltas = Yellow

i only have this one i dont have the other red lasguns mod im trying to uninstall and reinstall it

It is making Retributors fire yellow for me, so it sounds like you may have another mod active that is messing with it. I have sent you a Steam friend request so I can help you track down what is causing it. Also check my collections as the load order for those may give you a clue as to what you could re-order or disable to fix the issue.

meltas used by sos retributors and on their city core and basically all other units that use melta weapons still fire a red beam the mod does make las weapons red though

Which meltas is it not working with? I have not played in a while, so maybe the way the colours are applied as been changed in a patch.

this doesnt make meltas yellow

counter point
red is cooler

pt 2 of 2

I would have to check which novel it was exactly, by I also remember one where it is even stated that a combined force of Guard and Ultramarines fought the Greenskins and Las beams of all kind of colour were used.

So my guess would also be that it simply depends on which pattern of las weapon it is.
It does not even depend on the size...like rifles are red and cannons are blue or anything.
There is no "right" or "wrong" here...even though it might be frustrating.

Hello everyone,

hope you don't mind that I will add to your discussion.
The game Warhammer Armageddon made all Imperial Las weapons blue while Sanctus Reach made them red. Both are published by Slitherine so even on a publisher by publisher basis it's not consistent.
I am also fairly certain the art for the Imperial Laser Destroyer Tank from one of the old "Imperial Armor" books shows again a cyan/blusih beam.
The Gaunt's Ghost novels describe Ibrahim Gaunt's Las Pistol as firing blue shots.
The novel Helsreach about the 2nd Armageddon War describes the shots from Las Rifles simply as migrane inducing bright.

@Tirrikface
Well it can also play into the different variants of the weapons, since just as an example lascannons have seven notable different patterns but that's not counting every single lascannon variant that's floating around out in 40K as there's even makeshift variants built by the Necromunda gangs which probably fire a pure white color if I had to make a guess.

Even Chaos is going to be having more bluish colored lascannon shots purely because the majority of their weaponry dates all the way back to the Horus Heresy thus also haven't been maintained as much as they should have been versus being purple so Dawn of War had that wrong likely because Relic wanted to make sure people could tell the two sides apart in the gameplay department, but that can also be explained that the warp itself is making up the purple coloring of the shots.

I had not considered the Inquisition angle. I actually loaded up Dawn of War 2 last night to check and at least with the Death Korps of Krieg DLC on the Lasguns fire yellow and red and the Lascannons are blue just to make things even more confusing.
