Devastator Squad
From Lexicanum
A Devastator Squad is the best Space Marine squad for ranged tank hunting, making up part of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th companies and the entire of the 9th company.
The basic squad is made up of 4 to 9 Devastator Marines and 1 Sergeant. They all wear standard Space Marine Power Armour and carry a Bolter. The Sergeant can exchange his Bolter for a Bolt Pistol and Close Combat Weapon or a combi weapon or other sergeant equipment. Up to four Space Marines can be armed with one of the following:
They can also be mounted in a Rhino or, if the squad numbers 6 or less, a Razorback. The squad may be split into two five man units if it is a full ten man unit.
Devastator Squads are also known as Long Fangs in the Space Wolves chapter.
Some chapters are more inclined to use a larger number of Devastator Squads, such as the Dark Angels. These chapter's combat doctrines favour the usage of devastating amounts of fire power over a furious close combat assault.
Devastator Squads in the Traitor Legions are called Havoc Squads.
| A Devastator's reach shall be without limit and his touch without mercy. Fire shall roar from his fingertips, but it shall consume him not. Thunder will roar when he calls, yet it will swallow him not.
Let the Devastator squad be thy blazing wrath, bringing the light of the Emperor's justice to the darkest corners of the battlefield. Wherever he stands, that shall be his fortress of righteousness. He shall hold in his gift the fate of all who pass before his unblinking gaze. All shall fear him, and he shall fear no one. |
