New to the DA

[NearSightedFarseer]

As the title suggests, i'm starting a dark angels army, and i have some questions.
1. does the tactical marine box have a heavy bolter in it?
2. does the bolter and arm come in one piece a la the DA command squad box or seperate in said tactical box?

Forgive any ignorance on the subject, i'm new to the loyalist side of things.
Thanks in advance

1. I believe it does not. Just a missile launcher.

2. I believe the arm and bolter are seperate.

I dnt play DA but it should come with the H bolter, this coming from an ultramarine player

only a missle, plasma, melta and flamer in both sets

heavy bolter, lascannon and multi-melta are only in the devastator set

[kenshin620]

yea, no heavy bolter in tac squad. Although you could try converting the scout heavy bolter

either way, when i hook up a devastator squad i always go with 2 Lasscannons, 1 Plasma Canon, and 1 Multi Melta

Why? It seems to me like this squad has no really purpose... Each heavy weapon has a specific purpose. Tank hunting? 4 lascannons. Infantry? 4 Heavy Bolters. Deep Strikers? 4 Plasma Cannons. All purpose? 4 Missile launchers. Multi-Meltas? Don't take them. They belong on your attack bikes. If you plan on splitting the squad a la combat squads, then you can take 2/2. I often use 2 missile launchers/2 heavy bolters. I believe you play smurfs though, so you can't combat squad yet. How's that set-up working for you?
