Do you take the Grenade Launcher with your intercessors or no? Is it worth it?

I like them, a str 6 shot can help sometimes and it's only 1pt. They are also one of the first things to go in my list.

For only 1 point, you'd have to be stupid not to take it.

What about model-wide?

Are they like Flamers where I can trade my mates for four of them, buy an Intercessor Combat Squad box, and model all 5 gits with Grenade Launchers? Or is their only one model in the box that the Grenade Launcher will fit on?

You get 2 in a box of 10 models which is the most you can take in a unit of 10. The Easy To Build kits don't let you build grenade launchers without converting though.

Converting is not that hard. It’s basically a little tube under the barrel of the gun. I made a pair using the grenade racks from the tarteros TDA kit. Little bit of carving, but not hard.

For a point it’s hard to say no. It’s not going to be game breaking, but can be nice to have. My hard part is remembering who in the squad is carrying it. It’s such a subtle upgrade, he blends in. I should add a couple of purity seals on him to help him stand out.

Are Grenade Launchers included in the bits from Dark Imperium?

No.

With a coffee stir and some sprue you can make all you need though.

I really like them in KT, that is where I think a lot of the Primaris units shine the most. But even in normal battles I always take them, it's an extra S6 shot! for 1 point!

I think the general wisdom is to take them on the sergeants as they will be the last to die.

For Space Wolves fans I have found the Wulfen autofrag launchers to be a nice conversion part. You need to trim it flat on one side and I also trimmed down the underside of the rifle. One of my DI sergeants has it mounted over the shoulder but I am not as big a fan of this. Looks a bit like the Predator.

For one point, always. It helps always.

They gived me a lot of good actions in my games.

However, In Kill Team you cannot do that, so if you want to use the models in that game too you need to put the grenade launcher on a normal Intercessor.
