Could someone show the outcome of a 5-man Scion squad with two hot shot lasguns, a bolt pistol on the Tempestor, and two grenade launchers vs GEQ and MEQ against a 5-man Scion squad with four hot shot lasguns and a bolt pistol on the Tempestor vs GEQ and MEQ, all assuming no orders, in rapid fire range?

You mean plasma guns, right?

Not too hard to do yourself, everything in 40k is based off the number of possible successful outcomes out of 216 total outcomes (d6 x d6 x d6).

[# of total shots for one weapon type(# of successes on 1d6 to hit)(# of successes on 1d6 to wound)(number of failures on 1d6 for your opponent to save)]÷216+results for second weapon type=wounds expected per round of shooting for two weapon types

I doubt my mathematic notation is correct but that's the idea.

5 man Tempestus Scions, 2 hot-shot lasguns, 2 grenade launchers, bolt pistol on tempestor:

Total wounds versus GEQ (frag): 3.19
Total wounds versus GEQ (krak): 2.56

Total wounds versus MEQ (frag): 1.83
Total wounds versus MEQ (krak): 1.72

5 man Tempestus Scions, 4 hot-shot lasguns, bolt pistol on tempestor:

Total wounds versus GEQ: 2.96
Total wounds versus MEQ: 1.94

Bolded the best option against GEQ, MEQ. All rapid fire range.
Differences are pretty small really.
