Brood Brothers Heavy Weapons team.

Hey everybody! Got a couple questions for ya.

 

1) Does the Cadian Heavy Weapons team box come with one of each heavy weapon choice or enough of each to equip all three teams with the same weapon?

2) Which way are people going as far as weapon choice? I have no experience with the unit yet but I was thinking 3x lascannons for anti tank.

Thanks.

Most use mortars because they're the cheapest points cost and do decent LOS ignoring screen clearing.

They come with 3 of each (H. Bolter, Mortar, Autocannon, Lascannon, Missile Launcher)

The problem with expensive weapons on weapon teams is that they die WAY to fast for their cost without bodies to soak for them. I'd run them as Mortars for screen clearing while remaining out of LoS for safety or not bring them at all.

One HWT box plus 24 dudes and 12 bases gives you 3 of every option if you use some creative solutions for mounts and base decorations.

H-Bolter, Autocannon, and Lascannon use the same mounts and shields so finding some other way to mount those is the trickiest part, but not that hard.

Honestly, GW was so generous with those HWT kits that it feels wasteful NOT to make optimal use of the bits ;-)
