Re: 1500 - Imperial Guard I love my auto-cannons. Until recently I didn't use any lascannons at all. I fielded only Projectile weaponery (lasguns being the exception). Now that I picked up a good chunk of Steal Legion and have been playing more Appocolypse sized games I have been fielding more and more Lascannons. My friends love bringing super heavies to the field of battle and I equally love bearing down 9 lascannons from just one Heavy Weapons Platoon on them.
Sorry I had to go on a tangent there. I would say that for the Tournament scene Autocannons are the way to go. If you do come acrosse a Heavy Armoured opponent you have enough Meltas to cover your butt. The 2 shots at st. 7 are amazingly effective at not only anti-infantry, but they are vary effective at taking out transports as well.
My Luck tends to be on the poorer side of things, so I try and go for the war of attrition if I can. Force my opponent to make as many armour saves as possible is my philosophy. Screw this whole Big guns turn people into goo thing. I roll way to many ones for that. As soon as I get the enemy in my sights I just start blasting and do so until the cows come home.
That is my two cents,
