===Devastator Centurion Devastator Squad==='''Centurion Devastator SquadsCenturions''' are deployed for missions that require Space Marines to bring exceptional levels of firepower, such as siege warfare or bringing the firepower of a tank into confined quarters. Centurion armour suits for these missions are given to [[Devastator]]s.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} Their only real weakness is their lack of speed, and they are easily outpaced by fast-moving foes. Thus, they are primarily employed to besiege defended enemy positions or to defend their own fortifications, or used as mobile firebases to strengthen the advancing battle line.{{Fn|3}}
Centurion Devastators are commonly armed with twin [[Heavy Bolter]]s, but sometimes are equipped with twin [[Lascannon]]s or a [[Grav-Cannon]] with an attached Grav-Amplifier to increase its power. Their chests are also equipped with either a [[Hurricane Bolter]] or set of [[Missile Launcher]]s.{{Fn|2}}

===Assault Centurion Assault Squad==='''Centurion Assault SquadsCenturions''' are deployed when an enemy stronghold must be assaulted head-on in an environment too compact for an [[Ironclad Dreadnought]]{{Fn|3}}. These are the [[Chapter]]'s foremost close combat experts, these squads are solely focused on closing with the enemy and destroying them face-to-face. Once Assault Centurions have broken through, units of [[Tactical Marine]]s will follow into the breach to secure the area.{{Fn|3}}
Assault Centurions are armed primarily with two [[Siege Drill]]s, each of which is equipped with either a [[Flamer]] or [[Meltagun]], along with a [[Hurricane Bolter]] or [[Ironclad Assault Launcher]] mounted on their chests.{{Fn|1}}
