Bigddiesel Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 My friend just posted a photo from White Dwarf, page 7, with "Rodricus Grytt-Devastator" with a FRAG cannon?! Could it be possible that the Frag cannon could be coming to our beloved Blood Angels soon troops and devastators soon? If so, shut up and take my money!

Kastor Krieg Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 It's a Deathwatch issue "Devastator Fragmentation Cannon", with either S6 AP- Teamplate, Assault 2 or 24" S7 AP3 Assault 2 modes. I don't see it coming to regular codices, really, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frater Antodeniel Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 In my dreams, in Christmas 2014, when the Blood Angels new Terminators Squad was rumored, i imagined that we would have the same treatments as the Dark Angels Terminators Squad. With a Frag Cannon for Terminators, like the Plasma Cannon the Dark Angels squad can choose. But, instead of a Well Made terminators squad, like to one the Dark Angels have, we got a crappy Assault Terminator Squad, with....attention....2 Weapons options (TH+SS or 2X LC). The whole being a tasteless copy/paste of the Space Hulk box miniatures. The final blow, was of course, the fact that this shamefull Blood Angels Terminators squad is at the same price as the Well Made Dark Angels one..... But, i still dream of a Blood Angels terminator squad with Frag Cannon.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riot Earp Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think you will be able to ally deathwatch marines in every astrates army. So at least we can use it till we geht it eventually in a New Codex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marine7312000 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 A formation you say.... I'm really tempted by these models. I'll have to see if the chapter pads are removable as I'd be fielding these as BAs come back to the chapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phiasco Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 If nothing else it gives us an idea for the kind of rules frag weaponry could have. That profile is for a fragmentation cannon, so we could scale it's rules for frag guns, frag pistols, etc. We can dream anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Frag pistols would ruin hand flamers I think and step on thier toes too much, especially if it had rending. Cannon is the only size we need, 4 in a Devastators pod. Perfection. Now that's a BA unit. Keep your sodding Grav cannons codex chapters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 It'd be in the same camp as team Fragastators! Heavy flamers can stay in TAC squads for uniqueness but frag cannons can be the devastator squad's thing. Would totally fit in to the BA style to have all troop units mobile like this.

Charlo Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The grav cannon is a boring, no brainer choice, that, while incredibly potent - cheapens the game I feel. Sure we probably need it to deal with Wraith Knights and the like but that's what Vanguard veterans with Shields and thunder hammers (and ironically grav pistols) are for! The Frag cannon is a (formally) unique weapon that fits the BAs in your face style. Give it to our Devs so they can pod down and support the front line. I've also got a minor (... Okay mjaor) love for the flamer template so it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, Frag Canon Devastators and a Blood Angel specific Sky Hammer formation would have me on the first train to Nottingham to kiss every member of the development team.

skyst Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Our devs definitely need some changes. I have a squad that I painted during 3rd edition that has seen action but a handful of times. Frag cannons for devs would be amazing and totally fit the theme of BA being able to strike rapidly with mobility and precision. Or even heavy flamers, heck, both! SM devs in general could use some modifications for mobility. Multimeltas being assault or heavy bolters being salvo for instance. Would need some points tweaking, but no one ever takes either for devs anymore, so a change is in order. Podding down some devs and opening up right off the bat would be freaking awesome and thematically on point. Makes them compete with our tanks for a change.

Charlo Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Multi Meltas becoming assault would both ruin Meltacide as our unique tactic as well as the Skyhammer IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyst Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Not to get too off topic, but it would obviously be more expensive than meltacide. Also, meltacide is terribly unfluffy imo. And I havent put a ton of thought into any of this either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
