Scatter lasers are slowing me down. Should i take shuriken cannons on my guardian weapon platforms?

...tanks from the 23rd and 48th batallion were flanked by tanks from the enemies' 56th batallion. It was then that General Smedfordshire revealed his secret weapon: a slightly larger tank.

Why is it slowing you down?
Short range = moving forward + running to get in range...but geting in 24" of something is prob. unhealthy for the Guardians....
Staying at 36" and shooting stuff with more shots to mitigate BS3 is amazing IMO.
Stick with Scatter Lasers.

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

I second Sanctjud.
Go with scatter lasers, longer range and more dakka.

I third the notion. Scatter Lasers are your best choice for guardians IMO.

Just to throw this in (as i've met at least two players that made this mistake) Any weapon mounted on the platform are treated as an assault weapon.

Don't forget that the range is also measured from one of the two gunners: so you can put them at opposite ends of the unit to gain extra coverage and range from the weapon.

Scatter lasers are superb on guardian platforms, the only other really good choice is an EML. Shuriken cannon are only 10 points cheaper than scatter lasers and are FAR worse weapons. Anything they field is an assault weapon as Tri mentioned, as long as you are using guardians at all, give them a solid weapon.

I'm not sure how they could slow you down. All weapons on Guardian Weapons platforms count as assault weapons, so you can move and shoot with them in the same turn. Also, Scatter Lasers have a longer range than shuriken cannons, so they increase your mobility, not diminish it.

Congratulations, your dismissive and conclusory commentary has provided nothing to this discussion or the wider community on whose behalf you arrogantly presume to speak nor does it engage in any meaningful way the remark it lamely targets. But you did manage to gain experience points toward your next level of internet tough guy.
