| Marines Exemplar Devastator Squad |
I've mentioned my lack of love for standard Devastator load-outs before (well, that might be a bit harsh, i just think they could look
cooler.) and after having a gander at the new Marine book i was thinking that seeing as i was heading into Imperial Fist territory, i was thinking a Heavy Bolter devastator squad would be totally sweet, with all those re-rolls and the ability to annihilate light-medium tanks with tank hunter. After having already assembled and painted a "stock" Heavy Bolter for one of my Tactical squads i decided 4 of those would be WAY too boring, and something that has always annoyed me is the way Assault cannons have never made it onto the basic infantry of the Space Marine army, any hot blooded male was weened on the film
Predator and as a result has an unhealthy love for Miniguns. Well WYSIWYG be damned, i thought, i'll just convert some Assault cannons onto those suckers and use them like the totally sweet Premium Heavy Bolters they will be in the game anyway. And if anyone doesn't like it they can SCRATCH.

I also added the Black Templars Knightly tabards to give these guys a "cut above the rest" feel, and also the bulking out of the torso helps to counteract the enormous Heavy Weapon ruining the outline of the model and making it look to over weighted, the use of the Deathwing Assault Cannons with their little feathers and skulls, as well as purity seals aplenty have helped make the squad stand out and look pretty awesome, in fact, the biggest problem now is that the sergeant looks positively anemic. So i will be converting some form of grizzled badass to lead them soon and busting him down to Tactical-Objective-holder-squad-duty.
