astartes grenade launcher, worth it?

put an AGL on a bolt rifle for my intercessors, with 3 autos.

just curious how the AGL has been working out for everyone. also reddit was telling me we can fire the bolt rifle AND the grenade launcher in the same shooting phase for the same model. can anyone confirm?

I think they're worth it if you have the spare points as it adds a bit of extra firepower to the squad.  Correct, you can fire both the rifle and the AGL now because it's categorized as an "assault" weapon now instead of "Grenade."  Grenade weapons had the restriction of either or but thats no longer the case for it.

ya i think it'll be worth it, since i can do both shots in a turn...

now at least i have one marine who is roughly equivalent to a Tac squad's special weapon guy. tougher targets can get 2 shots with -2 shots and weaker hoards can get up to 17 shots at them.

Yes, since it’s an assault weapon you can have the AGL guy shoot his bolt weapon and AGL while have a second dude chuck an actual grenade, good when within 6” for putting two krak attacks into a tough target or two frag grenade blast attacks into a T3 blob.
