For guard duty on the shelf, any other weapon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9101889.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9101889.page GMT Re:How do you equip your Devastators?
Plasma Cannons got a new lease on life with the Haemotrope Reactor making them Large Blasts, but now they get hot on 1's and 2's, so keep that in mind. Missile Launchers are not that great for their points. Heavy Bolters are cheap, but again, not that powerful unless you are facing hordes of weak troops.

All of the possible weapons have niche uses, but in a TAC list some of them are just not worth taking. Really it depends on the rest of your list and how you intend to run your Devastators.

Just my 2 cents.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9101910.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9101910.page GMT How do you equip your Devastators?
You don't pick grav because you want to take Devastators. You pick Devastators because you want to take grav.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9101966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9101966.page GMT How do you equip your Devastators?
one 2x lascannons in a rhino.

If not, on the shelves (or maybe 4x melta 4x grav in Skyhammer)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9101967.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9101967.page GMT Re:How do you equip your Devastators?

If Decepticons were in the game they'd obviously be walkers. Autobots, just as obviously monstrous creatures.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9102026.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9102026.page GMT How do you equip your Devastators? Dev squad for the classic “camp in ruins” role is 4xLC

For a stormlance, I might take 2xGC in a rhino. Roll around shooting out the top hatch.

For relentless/S&P shenanigans (skyhammer, CTDA captain) either MMs or GSc depending on points.

From a practical POV, get a tac box/other source of PA bodies and build all the options. Swap around as list/points demand. Except the PCs. Those things are pretty useless these days. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9102416.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9102416.page GMT How do you equip your Devastators?

I have Calth and Prospero to take extra bodies from, along with all the heavy weapons within, but for the purposes of the squad in the Stormlance I might just go with the 2× Grav Cannons, as these guys will need to be on the move a fair bit]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9103039.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9103039.page GMT How do you equip your Devastators?
Lascannons are excellent for sitting tight and putting some extra hits on big targets, a fine support unit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9103052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9103052.page GMT How do you equip your Devastators? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9103099.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9103099.page GMT How do you equip your Devastators?

Grav Cannons are amazing, but I'm also a big fan of Lascannons. In my competetive Battle Company list, I have one unit with four Grav Cannons, and one unit with four Lascannons.

I just wish I had that many lascannons on hand, I have the two in the box and that's about it (unless Gee-dubs suddenly did us a solid by offering 4 of each heavy weapon in the box)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9103508.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/712399/9103508.page GMT
