Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Genestealer Cults (section)

===Heavy Weapons===
Standard options with Brood Brothers, but you can give these to Neophytes if you use their Index entry instead.
*'''Mortar (9 pts)''': It's a dirt cheap frag launcher that ignores line of sight; cost-effective anti-horde that you should take in dedicated Heavy Weapons Teams.
*'''Heavy Bolter (8 pts)''': Your source of medium-strength support fire. Anti-infantry mainly but almost as versatile as the Autocannon. Since Mortars exist however there aren't really many reasons to go for this.
*'''Autocannon (10 pts)''': This is your answer to T6 light armor and monsters, and generally decent at blasting things of all sizes. Loves medium-heavy units like Nobs, Rough Riders, TyraWarriors, and TEQ (especially if they have good invuln saves). One-shotting Primaris marines is also a nice feeling. However remember that your army has the most capabilities to kill multiwound models so it's a mediocre choice.
*'''Lascannon (20 pts)''': Long-range anti-tank punch. Eats T8 and 9 for breakfast and comes back for lunch and dinner. Don't take them and go for Mining Lasers instead (if you have the choice, else just don't use them).
*'''Missile Launcher (10 pts)''': For when you can't make up your mind between anti-tank and anti-infantry, or when versatility is important. Not recommended since it performs horribly in both cases.
