Not sure if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't get the search to work for me...
Anyway, what turret option is the better out of the choices available for the Razorback? I'm leaning toward either twin-linked assault cannons or lascannon + twin-linked plasma guns.
Thoughts?

T-L assault cannons are better than the T-L Lascannons and Heavy Bolters(within their range-band).

Las-Plas are good for TEQ hunting, but The assault cannons give you more shots at longer range(excepting the >24-48" range).

While assault cannons need to be close you get 4 shots all of which should hit in most turns and that is 4 chances for rending vs vehicles(which is an auto-pen on AV12 or less, and good chance to pen AV13), and 4 S6 AP4 shots vs troops is pretty darn great.

The only issue with Assault Cannons is that because they have such a short range they will be in range of plenty of return fire. I prefer the TL-Lascannon version. I combat a 10 man tactical (usually done in pairs for 2 Razors), put 4 guys and a heavy weapon on the objective or in some cover, put the sgt, special weapon, and three bolter joes in the Razor. It's 48" keeps it out of harms way and I find my opponents won't target them much.

I played a Space Wolf Razorback list against Mech Guard recently. At any rate, the number of Weapon Destroyed results I received on the initial exchange of fire made me glad I took Lasplas.

Thanks for the quick replies guys.
It's cool because i've realised that the twin linked assault cannon from the LRC/R is compatible with the razorback kit ^^ So now i just need to work out whether to stick with a twin linked lascannon (from the kit) or try and convert some las-plas fun...

I usually deploy two Razorbacks, one with a TL HB, for my Sternguards, or a 5 man tac squad, and one with an TL LC with my Devastators, as an additional anti-tank option. Ultimately it depends on what you are going for with your army.

I love assault cannons, but I haven't had the parts to build turrets yet. They do have a limited range, but nothing feels better than twin-linked, heavy 4 and rending against infantry and lightly armored vehicles.
