Topic of the Week: Devastators

[Mr. Biscuits]

Glad to hear this worked really well for you, I was actually considering trying this later on during the week. I couldn't bring myself to pay 150 pts. for 5 guys but the versatility of these missle launchers convinced me.I wanna play them as a 5 man footslogging/objective holding squad.

If you ere impressed by the templates of four missile launchers,you should try plasma cannons. Just yesterday I completely wipêd out a unit of ten raptors in a single vollry from my devastators three plama cannons, when the found themselves out of cover! That was only three, and throghout the entire game their firing lanes ust dominated the batlefield! In the next game I faced necrons, Thanks to the devastatorsd averging out 5-6 kills a turn I was easily able to phaase him out, and they wouldve gotten more if my dread killed that lith sooner!

Alls I have are 2 but I can see where 4 of these would destroy infantry. I haven't been playing that long and with the 2 I play i have some horrible luck with the Plasma Cannon. I used both of them in 1 game I only got 1 shot on target, 2 heated up and the rest scattered! I will probably get the other 2 later to improve my chances of getting those Devastators to hit something.

Alot of the ooponents fear my plasma cannons so much, they spread their troops out, so I dont really have to worry about scatter, Im just about guaranteed to hit about two models. The last cronm army I faced never left their home objectives because the one lane to do so not blocked by my pods and the goodies that dropped in from the pods was an open dash right through a narrow pathway infront of my plasma cannon devastators. At the end of the game I held two objec tives and contested his right up until the point he phased out bagging me all three objectives
