So, I got some (more) Grot Tanks. I'm getting them assembled now in between working on other projects. . How would you guys outfit them? I magnetize the turrets, obviously, but they come with 5 (unique) weapons so I'm scratchbuilding at least 3 or 4 guns.

Back when I actually used to play (5th) they all got Rokkit Launchas or sometimes Grotzookas. But I don't know what the cool kids use now in 8th edition or whatever, and if I want to start playing again I want my dudes to be ready. So.. choices are Big Shoota, Rokkit Launcha, Grotzooka, Skorcha, or KMB. What would you pick, and why?

Any ideas?

if they move fast then a bunch of grotzookas would be great for pileing on wounds against everything. It depends on your list too, so if your lacking anti-tank, rockets, need semi-long range big shootas.

Grotzookas seem like the best option (just like with kans) as grotzookas unload tons of wounds at decent range. Rokkits are a decent 2nd pick but with FW rules cost more points than grotzookas. I think grot tanks are better suited as infantry killers with grotzookas and better leave the tank killing to tankbustas, deffkoptas, and mek guns (kannons and smasha guns)

Big shootas seem like such a waste of the weapon platform when you look at something like heavy bolter devastators who are cheaper and better accuracy and yet are nearly universally considered inefficient. Skorchas won't survive getting close enough and KMB are even more expensive than rokkits, gets hot, and only improves the AP from 3 to 2.

Well, Grotzookas are pretty easy to build - thanks, guys.
