BS for the roll rather than guessing and risking a missfire. While you could roll a 1 which I have a bad habit of doing and not kill anything further and a cannon allows you to roll a dice for each troop, which do you guys think is the best out of the two?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/658748.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/658748.page GMT Cannons or Bolt Throwers? Clocks in at arround the price of three BT though.

Depends what you need in your army. Kill rank and file - bolts. Kill monsters - cannon (str 10 vs str 6)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/659298.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/659298.page GMT Cannons or Bolt Throwers? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/659380.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/659380.page GMT Cannons or Bolt Throwers? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/659691.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/659691.page GMT Cannons or Bolt Throwers? bt's for chariot busting with str 7. The 2-1 for bt's also helps with the limited special slots so you can use miners/hammerers for example.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/659992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/659992.page GMT Cannons or Bolt Throwers? d6 wounds instead of d3? I think that alone would make them the hands down choice for monsters and ogre-sized creatures.
I have to say though, bolt throwers only seem to impress me if they catch cavalry with a flanking shot.. Against my clanrats I just go "pfft, whatever.." and lose 3-5 five point rats..]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/660164.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/660164.page GMT Cannons or Bolt Throwers?

Runed up bolt throwers work pretty well hunting monsters too, altough vs. Skaven spesifically cannon is certainly a better choice (even without master engineer) as it can snipe weapon teams behind units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/660529.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/660529.page GMT Cannons or Bolt Throwers?
Bolt throwers and organ guns are all that is usually taken.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/660536.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/236035/660536.page GMT Cannons or Bolt Throwers?
bolt thrower
engineer

rune of immolation

bolt thrower
engineer
rune of +1 str

cannon
rune of reroll misfire

organ gun

i always run one master engineer. i entrench the organ gun and then put the ME with the cannon, making it do d6 wounds. just yesterday i played against OnG who ran 2 giants, and i took one giant down with a single 6 wound cannonball.

i place the immolation BT on a far flank, so when it gets charged it usually kilsl or really hurts whatever charged it.
