Just an idea, but using Hellfire Shells in a Devastator Squad using 4 Heavy Bolters could potentially rip away a very large number of wounds from an enemy unit.

Of course they'd get their armour save......but D3 mortal wounds PER Heavy bolter!!

Nice trolling

Hellfire Shells is a model, not a unit. So only 1 H. Bolter can use it, not 4.

damn. just reread the strategem. So unless you spend mulitple CPs in one phase......

damn ok

In Match play you can only use a Stratagem once per phase.

You can use it twice with the armorium cherub reload feature. But only once per game.

Per squad. I've got a list with three dev squads, each with a heavy bolters and missile launcher.

TBH the most effective damage dealing unit SM have is a squad of devastators next to big gman.
Usually using x3 lascannons, x1 heavy bolter for hellfire shells + cherub reload.

That, or a killshotting predator castle next to gman. The damage potential there is pretty absurd.
