So I was wondering what people thought as to which is the better option to take for Marauder Bombers? To me it seems like a very minor difference but I don't think very strategically.

For those who don't know:
- Heavy Bombs: for a single unit the bomber has passed over, roll 3d6 for each vehicle or monster in it or a single d6 for each other model up to 12d6. On a 4+ the unit takes a mortal wound.
- Hellstorm Bombs: for a single unit the bomber passed over, roll 2d6 for each vehicle or monster in it or a single d6 for each other model up to 10d6. On a 3+ the unit takes a mortal wound.

Which is better or more likely to inflict more damage?

Hellstorm bombs are the obvious correct answer. Wasting bombs on a vehicle is an act of desperation, drop those mortal wounds on infantry.

Yeah. Finding it hard to argue with Peregrine’s solid logic here.

Unless there's a limit on the number of bombs, [IIRC it used to be 10 Heavy Bombs or 2 Hellstorm Bombs], Hellstorm

No, both can only be used 3 times in a battle
