So i just got a squad of Devastators and was wondering what your guys take on them. What weapon options should they have, How should they be used, are they good or so so, and anything else that may be helpful.

I think this should probably be in the tactics forum.

Anyway to answer your question, the general consensus is 4 missile launchers give you the most bang for your points. They're versatile and cheap.

I go with four missile launchers for a 'takes all comers list' or two heavy bolters and two plasma cannons if I am running a list tailored against horde armies. The missle launcher squad does double duty in anti-armor lists as well.

I take 4x Plasma Cannons, because I love Plasma.

Whatever you do, take 4 of it. Never mix and match weapons in a devastator squad, since it will always lead to half of them shooting at targets they're not suited for. 4x rocket launchers or 4x heavy bolters are cheap and effective at anti-armor and anti-infantry, respectively. 4x multimeltas is rad too but nobody has the bits.
