Evenin' gents. I'm having a little trouble fleshing out my Nurgly marines heavy support. I'm looking to carry Havocs with autocannons, but from what I understand GW's current Finecast box only includes one of each particular weapon. I've looked on Ebay but I can't find too much with paying absurd prices and shipping. Do you CSM veterans have any tips on how to make or acquire autocannons for a relatively cheap price? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

your choice marines plus Anvil autocannons maybe?

I used these with a box of CSM and I'm really happy with the results.

The anvil set is nice or if you have a friendly guard player see if they have any spare autocannons from the HW squads.

I picked up 8 for very cheap and they look ok with a bit of work

I'll use the mentioned anvil industry ones for my havoks.

An alternative might also be these

I've also seen havoks with ork big shootas. It looked better than expected.

Forge world do an autocannon equivalent. at £10 for 5.
You can use heavy stubbers from the IG tanks and turn them upside down - you need to do a bit of modelling to get a decent grip for the front arm. They are also quite rare on ebay.
You canhave a go at extending heavy bolters with struplastic solid rods and modelling an end bit (making it a bit thicker / putting rings on) with green stuff. Also need to bodge together an ammo box.

You can also look in this topic: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/512944.page
There are some more ideas for not only autocannons but other options as well.

Chopped heavy bolters work :

Wow. I wasn't expecting this much of a response. Thanks guys! As for the options, I have some reservations about using non-Gee Dub products. I'm no shill, I just have no idea why. I like the idea of using bits from other army sets like IG of vanilla marines. I'm fairly adept at converting and green-stuffing. Do you guys think this would be a viable option: http://www.thewarstore.com/product26936.html

Well just look at the picture posted above your post. The second one to the right has a IG autocannon while the second to the left has a chaos heavy bolter with pieces of the IG autocannon(barrel and ammo drum).

You might wanto to consider shortening the barrel but other than that they work fine in my opinion.

R$ 12,99 for 3 weapons is expensive.

Nurgle Havocs, eh? Try using tyranid weapon biomorphs with some greenstuff over the obvious bits. Should be able to get them cheap, too.

Like these?

Ork big shootas work quite well. This guys an AOBR marine with a swapped head and shoota from a random Ork sprue. Oh and a dubious paint job. Lol
