Just4uCupCake Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Greetings Gentleman & Ladies, I have read on the interwebs much debate on whether or not to use auto cannons or heavy bolters for the fire raptor gunship side sponsons. I am personally leaning towards auto cannons str 7 ap 4 hvy 4( only two less dice than the heavy bolters and two str higher than them as well). What are the forums thoughts on the matter? Thanks alot guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Dont the quad HVB have 6 shots, and the Autocannons are only twin linked so 2 shots? Only Chaos Space Marines or Crusade armies can take the heavy 4 reaper battery. I think that should settle the matter, really ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine7312000 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 If I remember correctly, the issue with the autocannons was corrected in a FAQ. I could be wrong though. Check out Jolemai's threads of awesomeness. I'm pretty sure I saw it in one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun03 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 autocaonnons hands down, they use old school reaper ones so getting 4 shoots. Plus rule of cool applies they just look better. Get some ww2 scale model shells and toss them on base and give the appearance of raining down hate all day. Take magnet options and make both, I should have done that but my skills pervent that from happing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 The dual-HB sponson are incredible - 12x S5 twinlinked shots that hit on 2s. It rips through troops and even light armour. Highly, highly recommended for the loyalist Raptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Do quad heavy bolters count as 4 H. bolters or do they count at two, twin-linked H.Bolters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Quad Heavy Bolters count as Quad Heavy Bolters and have their own weapon profile, something along the lines of Heavy 6 and Twin-Linked :) same str, ap and range as your standard Heavy Bolters.

Xenith Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 autocaonnons hands down, they use old school reaper ones so getting 4 shoots. 1) Autocannons =/= reaper autocannons 2) As I said before, only Chaos get access to reapers in 40k. Heavy bolter option is heavy 6 Autocannon option is heavy 2. No contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun03 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 You are correct I built mine with 30k and just assumed it held true for 40k. I should check IA2 before posted. My bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad Easily done :) I problem you'll find is that the kit doesn't actually come with reapers, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
