The SM codex refers to Heavy Bolter, Assault Cannon, and Lascannon as choices for the main gun. But I hear people talking about las/plas Razorbacks. Where are the rules for this? Are there other choices for Razorbacks? Multi-meltas, Heavy Flamers, Plasma Cannons, etc? If so, where do I find the rules for those options?

Pretty sure las/plas is in the main codex. It's just a single lascannon and a TL plasma gun on a turret.

FW does have some additional options for Razorback turrets, though I can't remember what they all are. I'm pretty sure multi-melta is one of them. I believe it's in IA:2 2nd ed.

The options FW offers are:
Lascannon and Plasma Gun
TL Assault Cannon
TL Psycannon
TL Lascannon
TL Heavy Bolter
Multi-Melta

Infernum Pattern Razorback is the multi-melta model in IA2E2. All other options are either straight SM or GK codex.

Las/plas is indeed in the main codex, as are
TL heavy flamer (FWOOOSH)
TL assault cannon (BRRRRRRRT)
TL lascannon (BZZZZAP)
TL heavy bolter as default (DAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKADAKKA)

Don't have any Forge World stuff , but Carlson just listed that above.

PS: if you were a Sisters player, you could get a Razorback (Immolator) with TL multimelta as a codex option and a 6++ invulnerable save because Space Jesus Loves You The Most.

I think my eyes used to go fuzzy over las/plas because I was always like, "what the heck could this be used for?"

I'm mega-excited about multi-meltas though.

Yeah...need to get one or two of those for my Salamanders Razorbacks.

It's a fabulous choice for Blood Angels, since their fast Razorbacks can move 12" and then fire both at full BS. It simply out-performs the TL AC in many situations, especially if you face MEQ armies. Not an elegant setup, to be sure, but it works.

Inquisition can get Autocannons with psybolt for 4 S7 AP4, Rending shots.

Ah, Second Ed. The game where mixed weapon options made sense. Landraiders with Lascannons and Heavy Bolters made complete sense then. One gun to pop armour, the other to mow down infantry (Plasmaguns had up to three hits per roll to hit, and twin-linked just doubled that to six off the same roll to hit...)

The infernus option could be very effective if running ravenguard or raptors. 12" scout move before the game begins puts you in good range by turn 1.
