I've seen alot of good ways to set them up, but probably my favorites are melta+multi-melta, or plasma gun and las-cannon. Now, this is an army i'm planning to use im most tournaments, so competiveness is needed. Any thoughts?

How are you running your squads-- Rhino, Razorback, Drop Pod, or foot?

Rhinos.

Also, I need them to be tank hunters, since my Seargent has a power fist and meltabombs, so anti-tank set up.

I prefer to equip the tac squad as follow:
1st Squad with plasmagun and plasma canon --> Defending role, hig fire rate, high str and low AP
2nd Squad wiht meltagun and missle launcher--> Support role, good vs. AV/MC
Both Sargs with powerfist--> Back up, if any MC/Dreadnought is come to near to my objectives.

Hope that helps

How's this for an anti-tank unit?
Melta-gun and Plasma Cannon?

**Dracos**

Plasma cannon is not anti-tank.

I go pf+combimelta/meltagun/lascannon for anti-armor.

I myself prefer PF, multi-melta and a plasma gun. The two heavy/special weapons have the same range as each other and the bolters, so nobody's left out in the shooting phase. As it's a midrange squad, the PF is there for anti-MC insurance.

I like dividing my 3 tac squads into roles, and so can someone review this:

Anti-Infantry
Missle Launcher and Flamer
(Destroy the enemy before they get to you, this is probably the best setup against Orks as i've seen)

Anti-Tank
Multi-Melta and Melta-Gun
(Every time i've played with this, always have gotten at least 1 penetrating shot from them)

Anti-anyone one of these)
Missle Launcher/Heavy Bolter (really don't know which one, help!) and a Flamer (god I love flamers)

and possibly, for a fourth tac squad, a support squad of melta-gun and missle launcher?
