Weapons of Choice

The reason I love the heavy bolter so much is in the very nature of the weapon. There is a sense of power you have while wielding it that no other weapon in this game has, so far, duplicated for me. The gun's boom, the size, the look, everything about it screams, "I am a dealer of death" and while using the gun I am reassured that I will do well in a game, win or lose.
There is also the challenge that comes with the gun itself. Heavy Bolters are, next to the standard bolter with no upgrades, and Thunder Hammers, one of the harder weapons to master in this game. In order to fire, you have to brace, while you are braced, you are vulnerable to every other gun out there. Even with expertise on if you brace and don't fire first you will often lose in a stand up fight. Using the gun effectively gives me a measure of pride in myself as a player.

Power Sword: its fast, and its veryshiney, whats not to like? I use it to slaughter a group of players or when hunting an individual, I kill groups because its so good for kill streaks, you just keep slicing and nothing stuns you (most of the time), I hunt people with it because its so surprising, with anything slower they have time to react, but with this by the time they react their aim is shaking and their dying.

Axe: Because its more powerful than the chain/ powersword these seem how should i put it? Abit weak... And its alot quicker than the hammer/ maul plus i love that revving sound.
Bolt Pistol: Its less devastating than the plasma but its more accurate at short to medium range though you can hit at long range if you aim it just right maybe even kill if their armour has been stripped to shit and piss.

BTW. what`s your setup NightWolf?
I have 3,
IH/Expertise for general use.
FNP/Expertise if there are an abundance of (or just one trouble making) powersword/chainsword weilding ASMs around.
And an IH/Artificers setup I use for durability. I tend not to use this one as much since my style depends on me moving around an area a lot, but there ARE times where I need to pick a spot and stay there, and this class has proven invaluable at the task.

1. Shits and giggles class= Killing Blow/Sure Strike/Combat Stimulants. The "Y" stun interrupt is great with sure strike, and "YY" is an awesome AoE maneuver-- for the "Dern Smash" as I like to call it. This is also the load out I use when I need to be defensive. To taunt and draw the enemy in to me! Works great against unsuspecting ASM's.
2. Dev killing. Various load outs.
The sword I love but it cannot kill a Dev that is braced faster then the dev can kill me, even with stims employed. Lets face it, some times you just don't have time to overly concentrate on a HB your trying to kill with a sword/ pistol to very likely get killed by that creepy little melta-gunner sneaking up behind you ready to capitilize. In these cases: Killing Blow lol, and I am sure you Dev's fear it too!
As for my sword, known as "Dern's Dominion", Fear it! That is all.

For its power and adaptability...it takes 2 direct shots to kill an unmodified space marine, and for assault without inpenetrable and 3 to take out devastators. can play defensively by setting traps on say...seize ground points, or capture the flag spots. Or you can get crazy and set 15 launcher shots on a friendly assault and launch him into combat and wait for him/her to say HIT IT!!

One other reason I love that set up is the challenge of dealing with assault marines, it's really satisfying to pick off the jump packers with superior positioning and mass-reactive bolt shells.

If I do go Dev I usually go HB for the "feel" everyone is talking about, though I really have no skill with it.
If you want some tips on how to use it, hit me up in game when I'm on. Probably won't be frequent until this weekend, college essays to write...

Seems like a good idea Brother-Master, I'll be sure to do that. (Man, I got lots of shit to do with my Chapter when I get on =p (Meant in a positive way))
