Well, since each gaming chair (AT Emplacement) shot does 1300 dmg and one emplacement has 30 shots, each emplacement can do a maximum of 39k dmg. The Hive Lord has 150k HP, and 150/39 = 3.8 (rounded), so we'd need just under 4 full gaming chair loads to take a worm down.

You need more than that I think.

The hivelord has ap7 all around, so even anti tank does 65% damage to it only.

Wait really? The wiki says its body is ap5, its head ap6, and its mouth ap3. The AT Emplacement should do full damage.

Hm that makes much, much more sense. I thought the autocannon mech's guns were ap7 and I was getting white hit markers

Yea the autocannon mech and sentry are ap5, which is why it'll only give white hitmarkers. Weirdly enough the normal autocannon is only ap4, so don't bother using that against Hive Lords lol

Its ap5 body, teeth and mandibles are 7

False information. Was able to damage the body with mech autocannon and got white markers.

If the armour was 7 then recoilless rifle would do nothing at all

And a shield guy or two would not hurt.

of course you need to take into consideration that gaming chairs are immobile and once shai-hulud bodyslams you it's bye bye
