Quick question for you guys.

When kitting out your Redemptor, what load-out do you prefer for the little weapons?

On the fist, you can take either the Onslaught Gatling Cannon or a Heavy Flamer (6 attacks versus d6 attacks, and difference in range)

On the chest you can take either two Storm Bolters or two Fragstorm Grenade Launchers (24" 2 attacks, rapid fire, or 18" 2d6 attacks)

These little weapons don't make much of a difference, but I'm building mine at the moment and wondering which I should go with.

Personally I think the Onslaught Gatling Cannon and the Fragstorm Grenade Launchers. More attacks at longer range seems better to me.

For the fist-associated weapon, yes always go onslaught gatlings, heavy flamer are only good in overwatch.
For the chest weapons, its always better to take stormbolter instead of Fragstorm launcher. D6 shots looks cool BUT by math the Frag launcher is only better than stormbolter within 12-18 inches and stormbolter wins at all other range. Moreover, whenever you rely on dice rolling, there will always be greater probability that you got SCREWED than you got something good. As the say goes, if something has a chance to go worse, it always go the worst.
