Hey guys,
i´m really not sure how to equip my tanks and how to squadron them properly... Btw what do you guys think about equiping veteran sarges with shotguns? I don´t want them in close combat anyway so i thought i´d prefer the second shot over a second cc-attack.

Well to be honest its not bad and your off to a good start. I assume you will use the two infantry squads to sit back and hold a home objective and the PCS will be in the vendetta right?

Also x4 flamers is better than that 1 heavy flamers, I would suggest dropping the heavy flamer to save points.

Other than that for your tanks If you keep them squaded like that you can put the LRBT's in the front to soak up fire otherwise I would put the LRBT's in their own squad so you have more units firing at separate targets.

Okay, ill trade the flamer for sure and your assumption was spot on!
My take on the tanks was to have one for hunting (heavy) infantry and one for harder targets but i had no real idea how to mix them with others so i took the vanilla tanks as a tradeoff. Are there suggestions on how to swap tank load-outs?

For my executioner I like to put plasma cannon sponsons and lascannon hull to destroy TEQ and anything weaker and even light armored vehicles.

The Extermiinator with bolters is great at putting wounds on models and good at killing GEQ type troops. If you want you could give it MM sponsons and las hull that way you can hunt some infantry and medium armored vehicles.

The LRBT is an all rounder thats not really good at anything but killing MEQ in the open.(Still my favorite and most used varient)

The other varients have their strengths as well and can be considered.

What are AssCans? (Was ist AssCan?)

Are they autocannons (Maschinekanone)?

The list looks like fun. It is not fully optimized but will be fun to play.

Oops, mixed up assault cannons and auto cannons Ofc i mean the latter.
