Hey guys quick question regarding your experience long fang potential loadouts.
I am running this army for fun mostly, but if I have to for a tourney turn it into a competitive list. How would people feel about a long fang squad using 2-3 plasma cannons and 2-3 missles, split fire. missles at light tanks, plasmas at heavy infantry/terminators. Due to armies with huge amounts of termies they would be great for making them take saves. Also, they could hurt rhinos/chimeras along with the missles if no infantry are to be shot at. Opinions?
Or other ways to run long fangs BESIDES mass missles.

**jariksolo**

If you want plasma cannons id do one squad all plasma one all ml as one of the first casualties people take off is the leader and hes the prime target for things that can allocate wounds against it like vindicares and tellion.

**Ridealgh**

id go for (if youve only got one squad) 2 plasmas and 3 missiles or however many big guns long fangs can have. the 3 missiles will be enough to take out most tanks with AV12 and below. anything with AV13+ migh be an issue as you'd only be penetrating on a 6+.

The plasma cannons are for terminators and if your lucky and dont scvatter you can get 5 in one blast and considering they only get a 5+ invun most of them should die

jariksolo, that is a good point, although, even if i do lose the squad leader, with 3 plasma and 2 missle, they can target AV 10-13 and any infantry in the game and deal damage. Even if not splitting fire, they can hurt almost any target in the game, from hordes to predators. For Av 14 i am going to have wolf lords and thunderwolves with TH's.
Ridealgh I do agree with you, but I kinda like having 3 plas...they can lay down alot of damage on infantry, but maybe ill do 1 with 3 plas 2 missle, and 1 with 3 missle 2 plas...Any other feedback..think heavy bolters or lascannons should be thrown in?

**jariksolo**

Heavy bolters dont do too much and las cannons are very expensive I'd rather by the fangs a t-l lascannon razorback for the mobleity cover and extra roll to hit.

**jcd386**

In general, 4-5 missiles is best (IMO). If you really want to, take 1-2 lascannons. I don't like taking plasma, as it costs a lot, but it's not bad, really. Just not usually needed.

Missiles hurt tanks, kill marines, and can do OK vs hordes.

I usually start putting wounds on the Sarg as soon as i can, since i don't want to lose missiles, so i don't really have any experience having them be sniped. If someone wants to waste a vindicare shot on my long fang Sarg (instead of like, auto-killing a tank), that's OK with me.

I played against 2x5 Long Fangs with 3 Missiles each and 2 Plasma Cannons at Wargamescon. Had my opponent taken 5 Missiles, I believe I could have won that game. I was running GKTs. Food for thought.

My regular opponant hates my Long fangs, due to the fact that I regularly run them with either the 3PC/2ML, or 3PC/2LC setup. He runs necrons and GK. I also run them with a las/plas RB. It runs as a screen/mobile support platform. I like the fact that I can throw several small blasts that ignore armor at him

But I also have been putting a Wolf guard in the squad, usually in terminator armor with a cyclone missle launcher. great for throwing an extra wound on him, and the 2+/5++ can be bloody usefull

**rovian**

I would go with 3 ML and 2 lascannons for afforable and can destroy heavy and light armor

Don't play wolves, but I played a guy who ran LC and attached the guy who can make them relentless (don't know his name it was awhile ago) but it was a pretty neat trick as he was able to roll them up in a rhino drop them centrally into cover so I couldn't flank them with my Raiders, and shoot at me as well.
Just a thought to throw out here.

Terminator armoured Logan Grimnar in a rhino? This is Madness! The only suit of terminator sleek enough to fit in a rhino is the armour of antichulous (More like Armour of Ridiculous...)

You got played, buddy. Termy armour special character cannot in ride in rhino, so he and the longfangs cannot ride together in ze rhinoceros. Find that guy. Slap him

**CoI**

Yea. The droppod trick works well though, or logan, longfangs and a wolf guard is another nasty trick. But rhinos+logan = illegal.
