That's it. I'm sick of all this "Default Weapon" bullshit that's going on in the 40k system right now. Bolters deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that. I should know what I'm talking about. I myself commissioned a genuine bolter in Mars for 3 minutes of sex with the Fabricator-General (that's about $800,000) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. I can even make slabs of solid plasteel disappear with my bolter. Adeptus Mechanicus smiths spend years working on a single bolter and test it up to a million times to produce the finest guns known to the Imperium. Bolters are thrice as shooty as laser weapons and thrice as accurate for that matter too. Anything a lascannon can shoot through, a bolter can shoot through better. I'm pretty sure a bolter could easily punch a hole through a Carnifex with an Extended Carapace with a simple trigger pull. Ever wonder why the C'tan never bothered conquering the Imperium? That's right, they were too scared to fight the disciplined Space Marines and their bolters of destruction. Even in the War in Heaven, C'tan soldiers targeted the Marines with the bolters first because their killing power was feared and respected. So what am I saying? Bolters are simply the best weapon that the universe has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the 40k system. Here is the stat block I propose for Bolters: (Boltgun) 72' Range S:9 AP:1 Assault 9, Armorbane, Large Blast, Sniper, Rending, Lance, Ignores Cover, Ignores Invulnerable saves (Heavy Bolter) 96' Range S:D AP:1 Salvo 9/18, Massive Blast, Sniper, Rending, Lance, Ignores Cover, Ignores invulnerable saves, Armorbane Now that seems a lot more representative of the dakka power of Bolters in real life, don't you think? tl;dr = Bolters need to do more damage in 40k, see my new stat block

  • I studied this as I was reading the Horus heresy series. Did you know that the armor the loyalists were using on Istvaan V (the huge massacre when Horus showed his colors and when Fulgrim killed Ferrus Manus) was sabotaged and weakened before the heresy even started? Horus infiltrated the the forges on Mars. The Raven Guard discovered that Horus's forces had armor that would stand up to bolter fire, while everyone who came to Istvaan wore armor that bolts shred easily. There are some armor sets that resist bolters fairly decent, but nothing but a dreadnought or Titan can stand up to sustained bolter fire.

  • I'm sure it was a obvious copypasta with the whole "3 minutes of sex with the fabricator general." thing. Basically it was a hilarious read due to the fact that these stats were insanely op.
