Longlas are fine then.

Thank you kindly.

You can have the flamers.

Okay, so they're mounted to the inside of the Chimera. What about the other slots? Just point out whatever weapons we have on hand?

Yeah, have the stubber gunner stand out the back hatch as an air sentry.

Well, thats a half way good idea. I saw on the FW page that the Kriegs have dual heavy stubbers. I'm going to edit my vehicle post to make my hatch weapon one of those instead of the single. Though, they're going to be drum feed I think rather then box.

NP.

Yeah. Realistically you likely won't be able to hit much with them anyways.

Drum and box are still 40 rounds dude, so there isn't really any difference then style.

Well then I'm just going to have to go with a belt feed. Cause a 40 round LMG is fine for infantry but stupid on a tank.

True enough, but I figured its better then nothing.

Well if your going to do the twin stubbers that gives you 80 rounds.

Yeah, but they are still going to empty at the same rate. Belt fed from a case is better. I'll just go with that. Not like anyone's got to carry the damn things.

Obviously there is more then one top hatch and tanks lacking sponsons have a couple side hatches on the models.

Up the Heavy Bolter 3d10, right now its only as powerful as a Heavy Stubber.

Heavy stubber is 1d10 + 4 dude.

Oh shit, my bad.

I mistook the weapons list I had for the Astartes for the IG...

No harm, no foul. It gave me a reason to haul out the GM screen.

What would the stats be for the Multi-Laser?

3d10+3 E Pen 4 Clip 60 3 Full is whats in the book. Seems fine for plinking infantry.

I did some math on the multilaser

Average Damage: 19.5 (19 or 20)
Minimum Damage: 6
Maximum Damage: 33

Standard Targets:
1) Normal human, 10 wounds, 2 toughness, 0 armor
2) Guardsman, 12 wounds, 3 toughness, 4 armor
3) Spacemarine, 18 wounds, 10 toughness, 12 armor

Wounds Taken from 1 Average Hit:
1) 17 or 18, nearly dead or pretty close
2) 16 or 17, heavily wounded
3) 1 or 2, mearly a flesh wound

Wounds Taken from Max Damage Hit:
1) 31, cooked meat.
2) 29, cooked meat.
3) 15, very damaged.

Now all that should be tempered by the fact that it's a -/-/10 weapon. You're unlikely to be hit once, more like 3 or 4 times, maybe more. Even a space marine is going to have to be careful against a multilaser as one good burst from one could do a lot of damage to him, maybe even kill him with some slightly above average rolls. You could easily take out 2 to 4 enemy guardsman a burst from it. Combine all that with unlimited ammo since its a laser weapon and you've got a pretty potent weapon in your turret.

I'll be waiting to make a final decision though until I find out the details of the autocannon.

I should have that before noon, just have to drop off the kidlets and mail presents.
