Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Genestealer Cults (section)

====Mining Weapons====
Considering the sheer volume of firepower a Neophyte squad can put out with two specials, a weapon team or two of these; it is tempting to make yourself a micro-Devastator squad. Just remember that Cult Ambushing forces your guys to snap shoot. 

*'''Mining Laser:''' A lascannon with half the range for ten points less than a lascannon. Your "safe" option as you can use it with regular Infiltration instead of gambling on Cult Ambush. A good option for keeping your tank-hunting Neophytes safe, as two of these and two grenade launchers can deal with medium vehicles up to 24" away, meaning more room for you to Return to the Shadows and less need for you to deploy a squad in a near-suicidal position to threaten vehicles. Less risk, but less reward than the Seismic Cannon.

*'''Seismic Cannon''' Up to 12 inches its a 2 shot missile launcher, at 12-24, its a 4 shot heavy bolter. Its also can have rending resolved at AP1 on a roll of six. Fucking ACE. This is your go to weapon for [[Dakka]]. It's also the most expensive option at five points less than a Lascannon each. Just remember that you're snap shooting after Ambushing, so its short range is a problem.

*'''Heavy Stubber:''' S4 AP6 Heavy 3 36", what this has to do with mining, nobody knows (Probably protection. In the grim darkness of the future you aren't the only monstrosity underground). Maybe the Imperium has so many bullets they just shoot rocks out of the ground? Regardless, these are cheap enough to be useful for objective holding squads in the backfield and they have a high enough rate of fire to be useful if you run around snap shooting. A decent way to add some more anti-infantry punch to a big blob of autoguns.
