Just wondering what people feel the best weapon options are?
At the moment I'm mostly playing against Necrons, and loosing quite badly.

In my mind the bolters go best with that standard assault cannon?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5684495.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5684495.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5684695.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5684695.page GMT
This should also probably be in the tactics forum.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5684703.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5684703.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5684864.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5684864.page GMT

The Assault Cannon is equally effective against infantry and vehicles. The Typhoon is the same deal.

The lascannon is only a single shot and isn't effective enough against high armor because of that.

The Skyhammer is too low a strength and the extra range is not valuable enough to compensate. The 48" range of the Typhoon coupled with the speed of a flyer means range should never be an issue.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5685331.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5685331.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5686204.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5686204.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5686254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/530594/5686254.page GMT tl-las and the typhoon. The typhoon is the most expensive of the options and packs the least amount of punch. Two str8 ap3 shots or a couple of useless blasts? Pass. The las, tl'd, str9 ap2 wins out easily for the more expensive options, and is 5 points cheaper to boot.

So, if you are going to upgrade the weapons really the best options are the skyhammer missiles or the tl-las. I ran the mathhammer quickly, although I haven't double checked the numbers, the formulas, or done the results for strafing runs vs ground targets. Still, the probabilities are about what I'd expect, the skyhammers win flat out shooting on av 10 and av 11, but lag behind just a bit against av12 fliers, although they are also 15 points cheaper than the tl-las. The nice thing about the las is that you will still get really solid results against av13 vehicles, around 20% chance, and even just a little less than a 1 in 10 chance of dropping a 3hp/4hp av14 in one round of shooting, so it makes the decision a little more difficult. Which one to take? I guess that depends on the rest of your list and what kinds of targets you usually see on game night.
