Astra Militarum Portal

Payback is a heavy bolter, famously wielded by Gunnery Sergeant 'Stonetooth' Harker of the Catachan Jungle Fighters.^[1][2]

Harker first got his hands on Payback when his platoon was deployed against the Orks on the Death World of Orriah Ossetti. According to rumours, the platoon was almost completely wiped out in an ambush by a band of Blood Axes, with Harker as the only survivor; Harker, however, was able to kill all of the attacking greenskins by retrieving the bolter from the charred corpses of a Heavy Weapons Team and kept the weapon thereafter.^[2]
