Personally, I would want a Boltgun with scope (though that may be an upgrade I'd have to earn), plus a Bolt Pistol and Close Combat Weapon as back up. For an Assault specialist I would want the Bolt pistol and Chain Axe, with an upgrade option of a combat shield or as an alternative load-out dual wield bolt pistols with the ability to swap to single pistol and basic CCW (like HH Destroyers). Though only HQ characters should be able to dual-wield more powerful pistols like Plasma-pistols. I do like the Tactical Support role with an Assault weapon (Meltagun, Plasma Gun, Flamer, etc.) backed up by bolt pistol and CCW. Devastators, once you set, up are deadly with the Heavy Bolter mowing down multiple enemies, Lascannon sniping away at even tanks, Plasma Cannon blasting enemies into oblivion, and the Missile Launcher's flexibility giving you an option between blasting a group of opponents with Frag or blowing through armour with a Krak warhead.
Heavy Bolter / Lascannon, preferably with a melee weapon on the side so I can counter pesky assault marines. Anyone else here played Space Marine? I played it a lot online myself, I was called -SoTF-covechan. Shame the poor matchmaking killed the game
Jump pack with a melt a gun or flamer, depending on the situation. make then enemy regret focusing on those devs and tacs downrange.
Devastators should not carry any melee weapon larger than a Combat Knife (so no Chain-weapons!) if any melee weapon at all, but they should have a bolt pistol. It is accurate to both the background and tabletop game.
I personally liked the way it was in Space Marine where a Devastator would have a combat knife and a bolt pistol as secondaries. Gave them a fighting chance against Assault Marines while still making the assault marine a lot more dangerous in the matchup, closeup.
I want to play as an Assault Marine with a Jump Pack, Melta Gun and a Plasma Pistol. If they have Power Fists, I'm going to need on of them!
Plasma pistol/Power sword for some ranged pew-pew, Storm shield/Power sword for totally up-close and personal.
Dual lightning claws for my assault marine. Frost axe and stormbolter for my terminator if possible. Standard marine with Bolter as my main go to guy! If I can get a frost axe and a boltgun on a tactical marine, I would be happy, same as a lightning claw and boltgun
If I could have Terminator Armour I would definitely want a Chainfist. As for my other weapon I'd want either a Heavy Flamer or a Plasma Blaster. Would I want Cataphractii Terminator armour, or one of the standard patterns of Terminator armour (Indomitus, Tartaros, etc.)?
