Idea for making destroyers

[spu00sed]

I was looking through the fw heresy era web pages, drooling over stuff I want.

 

I then noticed the character conversion set, it contains 5 bolt pistols

 

Combine it with a mark II assault squad and you will have 5 destroyers.

 

My question, are they the same mark of bolt pistols.

 

From the photos they look the same, but I would like someone you has them to verify his, before I go and spend more money

There are enough places to get bolt pistols from, remember you can also add a Rad Misile Launcher on suspensor web. try a bit of conversion work from Chaos Bolt pistols or the new Holstered Bolt pistol sets, the assualt marines are an expensive option. try EBey loads of bits sales

Got my bolt pistols fron anvil industry, or you could use ebay

could model some nice poses with a holstered boltpistol and throwing a rad grenade

I was thinking of

 

2 sets of assault marines

1 character upgrade pack

2 missile launchers

1 power weapon

 

This will allow me to make a 10 man squad with two missile launchers and the sergeant with a power sword and 3 phospex bombs. 415pts of rad missile and phospex bomb delivery.

A bit steep on the old pocket when you think that you cant use the jump packs and you will still need to source some powerpacks

[spu00sed]

Destroyers can use jump packs an it becomes cheaper for big squads since it is a one off payment

 

I'm planing on running them as elite assault troops.

 

Hit the enemy with two rad rockets, and a phospex bomb if in range. Then charge nod throw the rad grenades

 

On a good turn, with everyone alive, you get

2 fleshbane, ap3, 3" blast

1 S5 poison 3+, ap2 3" blast

14 S4 Ap5 bolt pistol shots

 

Followed by

27 close combat attacks wounding marines on 3s

And 4 close combat attacks wounding marines on 3s with ap3
