Laying down fire from their heavy weapons, Devastators suppress enemy squads and destroy enemy armour so that their battle brothers may pursue their missions unharmed. Scout Sergeants can detect infiltrated units, and allow the Scout Squad to use frag grenades.ĭevastator Squad The Codex Astartes typically proscribes the role of Devastator Squad as a first deployment for a newly fledged Space Marine, yet it is a role that is extremely important in combat. Scout Sergeant Allows a Scout Squad to add a Scout Sergeant to the squad. Equipping shotguns to the Scout Squad also grants them the explosive shot ability, a high powered explosive attack that does knockback and significant damage. Shotguns have a close range but high damage, and have a chance to knock an enemy off its feet. Shotguns Allows a Scout Squad to equip Shotguns. Sniper Rifles take time for the squad to deploy, but once it fires it deals high damage to infantry at long range and can snipe units in buildings. Sniper Rifles Allows a Scout Squad to equip Sniper Rifles.

In gameplay Scouts are fragile, but can infiltrate to become invisible to their enemies. Lightly armoured for stealth and wielding a variety of tools not commonly employed by Space Marines the Scouts conduct missions of reconnaissance and sabotage under the guidance of a Space Marine Sergeant instructor. I've eventually decided to leave Tarkus with standard armor (with melta guns and melta bomb pack it's fair enough for occasional meetings with vehicles, alternatively I'm attaching thermal gun to Davian, if I'm expecting more of those), and give the terminator armor to Avitus (with assault cannon he's great for annihiliating infantry, both heavy and normal).Scout Squad Before a recruit who survives initiation and organ implantation can truly become a Space Marine they must first master all the ways and means of war. The biggest dillema is with Avitus and Tarkus - because they're losing possibility to have really useful weapons (such as lascannon for Avitus).

It's relatively useful for Thaddeus (generally the same reasons as for commander, although I personally used this hero quite rare). Strange thing though - game didn't ask me about difficulty level when I've imported my team, so maybe it has something to do with difficulty level? I don't know (personally I've played on "almost" the highest level).Ībout terminator armors - I personally think that it's great for Commander (it's limiting his mobility (even with teleporter it can be sometimes irritiating), but big amount of armor and great addition of hammer & shield are making him really powerful. I don't know if I'm so lucky, but I've swapped almost all weapons and armors from basic game during Chaos Rising Campaign.
