#redirect A Devastator Squad is the best for ranged tank hunting, making up part of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th companies and the entire of the 9th company. The basic squad is made up of 4 Space Marines and 1 Sergeant. The squad can be increased in size to 9 Space Marines and the Sergeant can be upgraded to a Veteran Sergeant. They all wear the standard Space Marine Power Armour and carry a Bolter. The Sergeant can exchange his Bolter for a Bolt Pistol and Close Combat Weapon while the Veteran Sergeant has access to the Space Marine Armoury. Up to four Space Marines can be armed with one of the following: * Heavy Bolter * Missile Launcher * Lascannon * Multi-melta * Plasma Cannon They can also be mounted in a Rhino or, if the squad numbers 6 or less, a Razorback. Devastator Squads are also known as Long Fangs, in the Space Wolves. Some chapters are more inclined to use a larger number of Devastator Squads, such as the Dark Angels. These chapter's combat docterines favour the usage of devistating ammouts of heavy weapons fire over a furious close combat assault. Devastator Squads are called Havoc Squads in the Chaos Space Marines. [[Category:Space Marine Squad#Devastator SquadMarines]]
