Autocannons were in common usage around the Heresy, Assault Cannons were fairly new and only just being issued widely. The Traitor Legions are forced to maintain or replicate their existing equipment and wargear. The better equipped Loyalists moved onto more advanced weapons for Devastator Squads.

I assume that the Havocs are stuck in time with an older weapon load out option than Devastators. The AC fills a limited light vehicle AT and heavy anti-personnel role. Apparently, with the advancements in tech, devastators have specialised, with MM and Plasma Cannon instead of autocannons. Bemoan the loss but rejoice in the fact you have plasma cannons and multi-meltas.

AND WHY can't they take multilasers?? That one is even in the books...

No but really, just give them autocannons and play them as HBs or MLs. Solves all your problems except you can't murder raiders as efficiently, which is out of your hands for a reason.

Because we get TLAC dreadnoughts.
