Exark Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Having looked at it, I'd argue for a four man pack with plasma cannons, the firing profiles will let them hurt pretty much everything outside of hordes. For that matter, you can effectively perma-overcharge them because of the innate rerolls of 1 from Fire Discipline. They're probably our best ranged support unit currently.

I'm super excited about including Long Fangs back in my lists. Looks like I need to buy some more to kit out as Multi-Melta and Plasma Cannon squads.

Guest Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 So what the consensus lascannon or plasma for LF? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334478-long-fangs-in-8th/page/2/#findComment-4779107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gherrick Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Really depends on range and strength needs. IMO, plasma cannon is more versatile, but if you expect to be targeting T7+ units often, lascannon is much better (S7 vs T8 is 5+, where S9 is 3+ on most targets).

Bloody Legionnaire Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 So what the consensus lascannon or plasma for LF? If we're talking a static long range Id give the lascannon the nod. I plan on using my long fangs in a Drop Pod to get up close and personal like and I feel the Plasma Cannon has the edge there. You are always garrunteed to get at least one hit with the PC being D3 for hits. I Will say that by themselves I'd also give the nod to the LC. IMO a MM pack and a PC pack working together in danger close situations is very powerful but they definitely need each other's compliments.

CrusherJoe Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Nothing -- and I do mean nothing -- beats lascannons for popping vehicles at range. Yes missiles are great with the frag option but for crowd control you're much better off stocking up on flamers and heavy flamers (especially heavy flamers on speeders, no -1 to hit!)
