Best Heavy Weapons for Havocs

[zeke]

So I'm in the process of building a chaos army, and wanted to know what the best heavy weapons would be? I'm leaning towards autocannons, but just wanted to see what everyone's opinion on them would be.

*Cough*

As a rule, I've always, always been impressed with AC havocs when I've faced them, although Westrider would probably be the one to check with.

I run a squad of 4x Autocannon Havocs in every game I play. They're amazing. I'm always glad I brought them and they always kill over their own points worth.

The FW Autocannon kit fits well and looks awesome too.

I follow the general rule here, Autocannons are VERY effective Zeke mate. Bang them in a Rhino to further make them evil. But, I also see huge potential in Missile Launcher Havocs.... Espescially as an AA unit with Flak Missiles. I myself will stick to Autocannons, but, it comes down to personal preferance, as with anything at the end of the road.

Autocannon are really the way to go.

Lascannon and Flakk are effective, but really expensive, in an Army that tends toward expensive Units anyhow. 115 Points for a basic Autocannon Havoc Squad is just an amazing bargain. Just for a comparison point, Flakk Havocs are about 33% more effective against Flyers, Point for Point, but rather less Points-efficient against pretty much all other targets short of AV14.

Anything on the ground that Autocannon Havocs can't deal with, you're better off taking care of up close and personal with Melta or Plasma fire.

I made a tutorial on how to convert them from CSM Heavy Bolters, but I don't think I posted it on here. I'll check when I get home this afternoon.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I was just curious because I was about to put an order in to FW, and decided to get the HH autocannons, and just wanted to make sure that the consensus was that autocannons are the way to go!
