So Plasma Guns with range 45 are a thing now? Maybe just lower the pricing to make them more attractive. I don't want to see Kasrkins with range 45 Plasma Guns. The only other unit i know of that would compare are Dark Reapers and they only deal 19.02 dps to Heavy Infantry at range 44 (while only having sight radius 40 compared to 50 from the Kasrkins).
Even with HI Armor, nobody wants their Kasrkin to be near the enemy. The normal range is what makes the plasma guns worthless for the current Kasrkin.
Also, Flash Gitz. Blastas with range 46. AoE anti-infantry, HI/SHI damage. They are less susceptible to bleed and have better dakka at a longer range anyway (less utility though). Snazzguns are range 51 with gitfindas.
What the extra range would do is to give someone a reason to get the plasma guns against Tactical marines/Sterns and whatnot. Now the Plasma gun forces your kasrkin into firing range of the enemy units where they do not exactly excel since they are more of a long range pew pew unit than cover to cover slugfest/attrition unit.
