The MegaCannon bit was basically from SM1. SM2 toned them down a lot
compared to other units. As for W40K? Who knows? Basically, with all
units henceforth, we're gonna have to look at the WH40K Datacards and
use them as the sole basis for what the E40K equivalent should be. And
if there's no datacard, then make sure that the E40K stats would
translate exactly into WH40K ones.

If one looks at the Imperial stuff, their 'support weapons' are all AT.
But, forex, Rapiers are specifically AntiPersonnel in SM2. Again, we
need a WH40K Maven to tell us what they do in that system. Similarly,
the Big Gunz are just a non-barraging normal firing unit. Which includes
Tractor cannon, SAGs, Hop-Splatt Guns etc.
I can't really disagree with agglutinating all of these into one class.
The Battlewagons.... no, there should be 2: a Blitzwagon (FP2, AS1, cost
20?) and the normal (FP1, AS2, cost 14).

The simplest - and hence probably the best overall, would be to treat
them as normal Boyz, but AF is D3. Reduces the flavour to a mere hint,
but also does not introduce the whole body of special rules you'd really
need.
