A '''Devastator Squad''' is the best [[Space Marine]] squad 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 #redirect [[Devastator Marines]] and 1 [[Sergeant]]. The squad can be increased in size to 9 Devastator Marines and the Sergeant can be upgraded to a [[Veteran Sergeant]]. They all wear 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]] [[chapter]]. Some chapters are more inclined to use a larger number of Devastator Squads, such as the [[Dark Angels]]. These chapter's combat doctrines favour the usage of devistating amouts of fire power over a furious close combat assault. Devastator Squads in the [[Traitor Legions]] are called [[Havoc Squads]].
