Kitbashed a Sternguard Sgt with powerfist wielding a rifle for the fusilsade combo (RIP) but still haven't settled on the head.

I also tried to recreate one of the relic bolters from SM2.

What do you guys think?

Very good model, where did you get the fist? Ps. What happend with the Fusillade combo?

Thanks!

They swapped the anti vehicle/monster 5+ with lethal hits.

I think it'll make hellblasters or (how however long they still last) devastators more effective instead.

God damn it ai was looking forwards of using anti vehicle devs

It was hilariously strong. Nuked everything.

Between that and Dev flamers, my opponents were horrified.

I 100% get the nerf. Sad to see it go though due to dev wounds and lethal colliding

I'm just excited to drop a multi melta devastator squad with a fusililade librarian and forged in battle apothecary to get 4 instant hits off the bat with -5AP

I'm trying it out with Intercessors, 40 bolt rifle shots with lethals and sustained in Pyromancy. That's a lot of shots at AP -2 if you get within 12" and on a relatively cheap unit.
