In some particularly well supplied regiments with access to [[Suspensor]]s, heavy weapons squad composition may vary from the typical norm, as now individual guardsmen are able to wield powerful weapons such as the [[Lascannon]] individually without the need of typical wheeled carriages or tripods that normally encumber them. An example of such squad might include 4 men each carrying a lascannon, alongside 4 lasgun armed guardsmen and the Heavy Weapons Squad [[Imperial Guard Sergeant|Sergeant]].{{Fn|5}}
'''Regimental Heavies''': Veteran Heavy Weapons Squads are referred to as '''Regimental Heavies''' are handpicked by segmentum command with strict orders to protect [[Astra Militarum]] [[Generals]] assigned to them. The squad when entrenched are equipped with [[Heavy Bolter]]s, [[Autocannon]]s and [[Lascannon]]s.If the squads are undeployed, they're equipped with [[Lasgun]]s as they move into position or when they're relocating to a new firiing position.{{Fn|89}}
