I do a couple with triple melta gun to take down big priority tanks, but Plasma is very very good right now, so a solid plasma core on a vet squad or CC squad with a medic can really bail you out if heavy infantry or MC's come your way.

If you go melta you probably want a chimera for them. Same with plasma, but a little less so.

[verminard]

Anything that puts off that much hate is going to need a safety tank to survive. We are guardsmen, if we are not on a tank or in mass numbers then casual bolter fire can ruin us.

If the squad is designed to murder high price units like marines and big tanks, make sure you protect them so that they can do the job. Power Armor and T4 we haz not.

i like the melta's but the plasma looks bad ass killy ;D

i made 3 plasma and 3 melta field test them both and switch em out if i want

[vegna]

to me the question for them is what does ur list need? Plasma to me is good against the heavy infantry and light vehicles, the melta is more to go against the enemy armour but due to its range needs the chimera to get close.

Getz da Flamerz 4 da swarmz 😁😁😁😁😁😁

Both are good, plasma is awesome at killing marines from further away and melta can insta kill bad ass tanks and enemy leaders.

Have a unit of each and get them a transport.

Then go forth and kill in the name of the false emperor!!
