Weapon choice

[Stoffey]

Hey just out of curiousity, whats the best weapons to put on a war walker?

[Rorschach]

For sheer killing of troops? Scatter Lasers
For cheap almost as goods? Shuriken Cannons
For fighting 2+ Termies: Starcannon. Vs regular 3+ saves, Scatters have odds over Starcannon, by the points.

For Vehicle-killing: Brightlance

Hence the old-school original WW combo of Scatter and BL is the best for all-around.

The 2x EML is a nice option also. Allows the unit to switch between anti-tank and anti-infantry.

How much are those each though? 30pts? That kinda kicks the WW cost up to 100 apiece.

With the ubiquitous Guide, EML's would work. Without that, i tend to miss the lower number of shots far too much. :-)

[MyMyst8k]

Nope, there only 20pts each, cheaper than a starcannon even. They are definitely a viable option.

[Rorschach]

In that case, I definitely agree.

I was thinking of a Starcannon and Eldar Missile Launcher since the enemies I face often are the forces of Chaos...

[DoomedToRepeatIt]

I've got a pair of WW armed with paired Scatter Lasers. Under Guide and Doom with average rolls, that's a good number of dead mon-keigh.

Normally I run 2-3 WWs with scatter laser and star cannon. Many shots and if possible guided. Its all about making your opponent take saving throw rolls. In 'Ard Boyz, I ran 3 WWs armed as above and 2 with bright lance and eldar missile launcher. Good mix of anti personnel, anti light vehicle and heavy vehicle.

Word!

[Asandiril]

Being that I use mine as light walkers and in an anti-infantry MO, I've armed mine:
2 w/ scatter laser and EML;
1 w/ EML and bright lance

I can still take on other light walkers and light vehicles. But against things like Leman Russes and Predators, I let my Falcons, Vibrocannons and D-cannons handle them.

[Stoffey]

Yeah see I figured I could just cover the armour with falcons and prisms. I kinda wanted my war walkers to take heavy infantry. Since I also use the serpents of shuriken tactic with Dire Avengers.

[Vrykolas2k]

I have two of them, here's my mix:
One has a Starcannon and Bright lance, the other has a Shuriken Cannon and Missile Launcher.
Thus both are good for multi-roles. Ie., anti-armour and anti-troop.
