What are you thoughts on using cannons to kill enemy warmachines?
I plan on taking 3 in our upcoming 3k game to kill off his organ gun and grudge throwers.

I havenīt used one myself (Iīve used Hellcannons), but fluffwise you could just say that it is loot.

It does change your army a bit, I wouldnīt mind if I were up against a Chaos army w. cannons, 3 in 3K isnīt all that much, I would be more worried about Giants & such stuff anyway.

I know rogge_85 has used a Tzeentch cavalry list in which he had 2 Cannons at 2K, making his list very defensive when combined w. all that magic & axethrowers.

I've used them as well, and they give an interesting twist, giving a chaos army something to do in the shooting phase (I'm not a big fan of the hellcannon.... to expensive). Some of your opponents may well raise eyebrows though.

Fluffwise, my armies were forged by my sorcerous followers and were "magical" in much the same way as the Hellcannon, though this idea came from some short stories I read and predates the Hellcannon. the disapproval of my opposition keeps me from fielding my "Hellfire Cannons" too often though.....

To kill warengines however, chaos fliers are still superior as it takes on average 2 direct cannon hits to destroy a 3 wound warengine.

I figured that it might also give him something else to shoot at besides my knights once he sees that Im targeting his warmachines.

I have used a single DoW cannon a great deal, it does indeed act as a distraction. On the whole though it is fairly in effective i find, i did once kill a tomb king with it but thats about the best i have managed.
