Doomglaive - stormbolter or incinerator?

[Brother Captain Sirus]

So as the title states which one, stormbolter or incinerator?

 

As the stormbolter synergises with the heavy psycannon better, while d6 str 6 autohits seems to have a merit of its own in many regards.

 

Any thoughts or examples, feel free to post.

Stormbolter gets my vote. Cheaper and range is much less of an issue. Also, you would average about the same amount of hits anyway. Strength 6 is much less of a big deal this edition, with the new wounding chart.

Bolter, just because of the cost. One if the biggest virtues of the doomglaive is being cheap, and the incinerator is pretty expensive. The doomglaive is very threatening already, so it usually attracts a lot of fire anyway, and you don't want to add any efficiency to that shooting. Also with BS2+ he uses the bolter pretty well.

Honestly the only reason I like incinerators is for overwatch which IMHO doesn't make it worth the points. Stormbolter has my vote

I've actually found dreadnoughts to be just as useless this edition as they were last. They die just as horribly to anti tank as they did last edition.

 

So definitely keep them as cheap as possible! Plus the more range you have, means the more effective you are earlier on. Plus rapid fire storm bolters are great!

Well it definately seems to be a clear vote in favour of the stormbolter, always good to decide a good overall loadout with forgeworld stuff, cheers guys.
