Plasma Executioner weapon update rumor

[Aeri]

Hey guys!

 

So Belloflostsouls just posted the new instructions for the Executioner and it looks like while the laser destroyer changed to D D3+3, the Plasma Variant changed to D2.

This means that overcharged we can expect it to be D3 and with wotda possibly d4.

 

Do you think it is now more viable for dark angels than the laser version?

I prefer it as it looks like a decent anti heavy infantry gun as well.

It certainly looks interesting. The new weapon profiles do much to boost both weapons. MPC can now kill 2W Marines in regular mode or Gravis when overcharging. WOTDA is definitely a possibility but you can only use it once per turn. I still feel the best place for this stratagem is likely to be a large squad of Hellblasters (possibly the assault variant) as they get more shots to benefit from the stratagem.

 

10 Hellblasters with Assault version, Overcharging with WOTDA can potentially put out 90 wounds per volley. OK they are only S7 but that is still enough to demolish many targets, especially if you have any reroll auras present.
