I've recently received a terminator libby and a deathwing termie box.

So, my questions are

- what is the best weapon to stick on my terminator libby?

- what is the best general purpose loadout for a 10 man deathwing squad? I was thinking double assault cannon and the artifact with assault 3 on the libby for major dakka.

Assault Cannon: Good, Reliable, High Rate of Fire, Very Deadly and the same range profile as a Storm Bolter. Does most thing well, but Expensive.
Cyclone Missile Launcher: Great Grange, lets you keep your Storm Bolter [this actually gives you the same RoF as an Assault Cannon]. Suffers from being a Jack of Trades.
Heavy Flamer: Great for taking down hordes or enemy hiding in cover, but has no range. It is also good are countering Assault, two of them and a Character with a Combi-Flamer will make most people think twice about Assaulting you.
Plasma Cannon: 1st I will admit I am Biased, I Love Plasma Weapons. That being said, this gives you a good ranged, High Strength, AP2 Blast Weapon. The 2+ Armor save vs. the “Gets Hot” Should keep yourself ok. Depending on how they work for Me this might become my go to Weapon for Tactical Terminators.

For what it looks like how you plan on using [I am Assuming Deathwing Assault] them I would go with the Assault Cannons though.

For your librarian a force Axe and Lions Roar drop a plasma cannon blast on em. Asault cannon work well in large squads do to number of shots. Cyclones aren't bad either.

For my shooty BA terminators, I beam them in with a teleport homer or beacon and use the heavy flamer option. Ignoring cover and automatically hitting is quite nice.

Assuming I'm not completely mistaken, I like cml on my th/ss guy, gets to shoot has good cc/ and your cml a 4++, I have two other 5 man squads with ac, deepstrking them along with storm bolsters and deal out some damage

I went the other way with my librarian. In a deathwing command squad with the mace of retribution, belial and a close combat loadout with champion and banner. Expensive, but it goes where you want and does a lot of damage when it connects.

Having said that I rather enjoyed the plasma cannon that I tried out today, especiallyvthe twin linked bit at the start For dakka squad I would recommend a mixture of plasma cannon and assault cannon. Both weapons are effective against light/medium vehicles and infantry of all types and it spreads the damage dealing methods about a bit with a blast marker and 4 straight dice rolls.
