for the anti-tank options, my personal picks are;
a) anti-infantry squad w/3x autocannons
- autocannons are the ultiment weapon in 40k. 2 S7 ap4 shots/turn mean you can still reliably chew-up infantry and easily smear anything not wearing power armour. meanwhile, those 2 shots are death to skimmers which typically only have av13 at best... (the monolith being the 1 big exception!)
b) anti-tank squad w/3x rocket launchers
- again it's the versitility that wins out. the rocket will still be usefull once the armour has been slaged. the lascannons on the other hand cost more pts, and are utter over-kill against infantry!
plus, there's still alot of hoard armies out there which are the true bane of the las/plas force!
cheers!
