I'm messing with the idea for a "Bolter Shotgun" called the Tempest Bolter (based after the Tempest Bolts sometimes used in normal Bolters), however I'm unsure where to even begin on the statistics. I was going to just use normal Shotguns but my Emperor, they're so horrible to waste an Elite squad using.

This is my preliminary concept:

12" Range, 4 Strength, AP 6, Assault 4]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5183823.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5183823.page GMT Re:Tempest Bolters? (Bolter Shotguns) AP - Assault 2) or as a regular Bolter. Assault 4 is a bit much, given that within 12" they are twice as effective at shooting as normal marines.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5184508.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5184508.page GMT Re:Tempest Bolters?

The only issue is that the Astartes Shotgun is directly worse than a Storm Bolter isn't it? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5186042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5186042.page GMT Tempest Bolters? (Bolter Shotguns)

So I'm toying with a custom Elite squad for my Iron Hands codex, and I want them to have shotguns and a combat shield bit going on.

call them stats, not statistics.

ra12" S4 AP- Assault 3 would work - it'd be like a better scout shotgun.

that already was worse than a storm bolter I suppose. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5189953.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5189953.page GMT Tempest Bolters? (Bolter Shotguns) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stats

I just want something a little better than the typical scout shotty but that could potentially be swapped for a Storm Bolter for equal or more points.

So yea the Assault 3 would work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5190077.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/501079/5190077.page GMT Tempest Bolters?
