According to Rule Book Page 7, Guns are infantry. Back cover of Army book
says transport units carry X infantry units. Page 104 of battles book goes
on about what units might NOT be classed as infantry for transport
reasons. Artillery units are not mentioned in that rule. My reading of
the rules is that a Falcon can carry 1 support weapon, regardless, see
however my house rules below.
My house rules (which include the famous "how many Death Angels can dance
in a Land Raider" are as follows:
Transport:
The "Big Fella's" rule on page 104 of the Battle book is in use, meaning
that the following can not be transported
Greater Deamons
The Eldar Avatar
Hive Tyrants
Carnifexes
Any unit with Transport or Tunneller special power is rated to the number
of Basic infantry stands it can carry.
Several types of infantry stands are bigger than your run of the mill grunt
but are still mounted 5 per stand, which means that fewer units can be
carried per transport vehicle. The following infantry types use 2 (two)
transport slots.
Space Marines Terminator Armor
Ogryns
Several types of infantry are smaller than your run of the mill grunt but
are mounted 5 per stand The following infantry types use 1/2 of a
transport slot (i.e. a transport with a rating of 2 can carry 4 of these
units)
Imperial Ratlings
Gretchen
Termagants
Any non-flyer vehicle with Transport (not Tunneller) may tow 1 "Towed
Artillery" piece. The artillery piece does not use one of the transport
slots, so a Rhino towing a "Support Weapon" may carry 2 units of Space
Marines. Flyers and Tunnellers carry all units internally so each
artillery piece uses 1 transport slot.
Towed Artillery:
Imperial Support Weapons
Ork "Big Gunz" (Not Pulsa Rocket)
Eldar Support Platform
Ork Big Gunz may be towed by Buggies (to include War Tracks).
Units that are classed as infantry but are not mounted 5 per stand each use
1 transport slot per stand. (i.e. 2 Lictors fit in an Assault Spawn.)
See however "Big Fella's" rule.
The following non-infantry types may be transported using 2 slots per unit
transported
Dreadnoughts (all races)
Bikes (Imperial and Chaos)
