TheAvengingKnee Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I have a fire raptor that I am building(thank the Emperor for hot water ), I was wondering for my DA should I use the Quad Heavy Bolter or the Autocannons. Both seem great and I want to magnetize them at some point. The lists I have it in have a decent amount of anti-tank/flyer/armor so I am just really unsure of what to run it with.

Jolemai Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 In my opinipn, Quad heavy bolters. As you don't need the anti-Flyer/Tank/armour right now, Six twin-linked STR 5 shots are better than two twin-linked STR 7 shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusktiger Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Jolemai is right, i tried one the other week with just the heavy bolters and its incredibly effective. the fire raptor is an excellent gunship for anti-infantry, so field it with that in mind and you'll be happy with the results. my experience was vs the new necron codex, and i even managed to let it hover from turn 3 onwards and it never lost a HP. just keep it around the 36" mark from targets and it will be just fine.

Isiah Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Fantastic looking models aren't they? Are you painting them green (from the Chapter Armoury) or black with Ravenwing icons? Pics would be great :yes:. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAvengingKnee Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 It is a beautiful model, makes me think of the bastard offspring of an A-10 Thunderbolt and an AC-130. I will probably paint it with Ravenwing colors and logos as it makes sense for it to be part of the Ravenwing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeChisler Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Magnet them Use both see how it works with your army in your area, the bonus is indipendant fire so your not stuck with one target Autocannons will do better against armor so depends on th rest of your list and your opponents flyer capability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAvengingKnee Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I have 2 contemptor mortis dreads so AA isn't a big concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I would base it off of aesthetics...the autocannon barrels are too long, they look horrible on that model...that's the best possible reason to go for the heavy bolters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Same; that and 19 twin linked shots is worth paying near Landraider price for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAvengingKnee Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yeah and doesn't it have strafing run as well? I know the test rules had it but my book is in the car and I am stuck at work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
