Hey guys like the subject says I need something that's good all around but has a good chance with anti-mech/ tank

Ik missle launchers would be good but for some reason I'm not a huge huge fan of those models. I think the autocannons would be cool though. Any thoughts?

If you want to keep the squad on the cheap (points wise), then missile launchers or autocannons are the way to go.

Autocannons are great for hewing down infantry, monstrous creatures, and light vehicles. They can glance av13 to death, but are powerless against 14.

Missile launchers can deal with light infantry, flyers, and can glance non-flare shielded av14.

Lascannons will drop heavy infantry and tanks. Attach a master of signals or siege wrecker for extra pain.

Rapiers are another option worth considering.

Missile Launchers are a nice balance, but as noted I'd rather have Thudd Guns than an equivalent value of missile launchers. They're more useful for Imperialis Militia whose thudd guns don't get shatter shells as an option.

What legion are you? Some legions like IW have unique heavy weapon squads that are much better than the normal ones.

That said, missile launchers are the best generalist way to go with a scanner for DS intercept. Attach a siege breaker for tank hunter.
