Warhammer 40K Tabletop XII: "Now in Rapid Fire range!"

Not really. Heavy bolters have the same problem everywhere you put them. Most things that can take them can take anti-tank or AP2 weapons instead and those are just more useful.

Heavy Bolter Attack bike squadrons are really good. They can even kill tanks by targeting rear armour. But not really worth it and I never have room for mine in a list (I only have the models because they were in an ebay lot with some multimelta ones I use a lot more).
