'''Devastator Squads''' are specialised [[Space Marine]] squads tasked with long-range fire support, entrusted with the [[Chapter]]’s rarest heavy weaponry.{{Fn|1a}} In a typical [[Codex Chapter]], two Devastator Squads are assigned to each of the four [[Battle Companies]], while the entirety of the 9th [[Reserve Company]] is composed of Devastators.{{Fn|1b}}

==Training and Deployment==

Most Devastator Squads are composed of Space Marines who have recently been promoted from [[Scout Squad]]s. Though veterans of dozens, even hundreds, of campaigns, service in a Devastator Squad will be their first experience in [[power armour]] as part of the main Space Marine army.{{Fn|1a}} Those newly-appointed to a Squad, armed only with basic gear, are given the primary duty of providing close support and calling out targets for their more experienced battle-brothers. These Space Marines are armed with the squad's four heavy weapons, an honour earned only after the Marine has proven himself steady and dependable in the heat of battle.{{Fn|1a}}

The Devastator Squad is made up of between four to nine Devastator Marines and a [[Space Marine Sergeant]]. The type and use of these heavy weapons can vary greatly, depending on the mission or nature of the [[Chapter]] itself.{{Fn|1a}}

==Equipment==

In addition to their [[power armour]], Devastator Marines are armed with [[bolt pistol]]s, [[boltgun]]s, [[frag grenade|frag]] and [[krak grenade]]s. The Sergeant also carries a [[Signum]] and may be equipped with [[melta bomb]]s as well. The Sergeant can also replace his boltgun and/or pistol for a [[chainsword]], [[combi weapon]], [[plasma pistol]], [[power weapon]], and [[power fist]]. For transportation the Squad can be carried into battle in a [[Drop Pod]], [[Rhino]] or [[Razorback]]{{Fn|1c}}.
