I was just wondering which Speeder variant I should take:
The Tornado
Or the Typhoon
Please post the reason why on the bottom.
PS: I don't have any other landspeeders, if that helps you make your choice.

Take the Typhoon, its missiles will serve you well. The only use for the Tornado if I remember correctly is to serve as a transport for Scouts.

I like to say I have two armies: Necrons, and Imperium.....

Tornado is the one with dual guns lol, myself I like useing the tornado with 2 multi meltas or with an assault cannon heavy bolter, each speaks for what it's designed to do, this leaves my fast attack open for 3x4 typhoons if I want them

You still have the heavy bolter mount on the Typhoon so it has two guns as well...as far as I'm concerned

The main weapon options I've seen/played with are:

2x MM - vehicle suicide bomber
2x HF - horde suicide bomber
AC/HB - decent jack of all trades dakka
Typhoon/HB - long range fire support, also a bit of a jack of all trades

I think what you take really depends on what you feel the rest of your list is lacking + local meta. If you don't have a serious need to specifically take down vehicles or hordes, I think the AC/HB is probably the best overall option.
