And of the Assault Marine so do I decree: He shall descend upon the perfidious foe as an Angel of Judgment from on high. Let the jump pack be his wings, and the roar of its engines a hymn of retribution. Let the chainsword be his sceptre of decree, its harsh voice singing joyfully with each and every blow. With it shall the Assault Marine bring bloody retribution to the heretic, the traitor, and all alien aggressors who trespass on the Emperor's domain.
So will the Assault Marine be the hunter of warlords and the slayer of kings. His armour shall run slick with the life-blood of the vanquished, and all shall honour his name.

7th Squad is a ten man Assault Squad in jump packs armed with two flamers. The Sgt has a set of lightning claws. To be honest I have never fielded this unit well. When I deep strike they keep getting rocked before I can make up my points, when they walk on the board they don't seem to have the stopping power. I still have hope for them, but right now they are riding the pine till I see a need for them. They are equipped to handle horde armies and I rarely play against them, so that is probably a big factor.
A Devastator's reach shall be without limit and his touch without mercy. Fire shall roar from his fingertips, but it shall consume him not. Thunder will roar when he calls, yet it will swallow him not. Let the Devastator squad be thy blazing wrath, bringing the light of the Emperor's justice to the darkest corners of the battlefield. Wherever he stands, that shall be his fortress of righteousness. He shall hold in his gift the fate of all who pass before his unblinking gaze.
All shall fear him, and he shall fear no one.

10th Squad
Led by Sergeant Lucius Decius Malleolus
10th Squad is a 10 man devastator squad armed with two lascannons and two missile launchers. The Sgt comes as is with a bolt pistol and a chainsword. At full strength the ten man squad can combat squad down and split fire. Unfortunately they are just way to expensive for that. Honestly I think this is a hideously overcosted unit, and I think GW costed them out of a decent list. They are a survivable firebase, but there are so many more efficient choices. I use them when I NEED supporting fire in an army and my elite slots are full. In the end, they are part of my half company soooo I'm glad I have them, but I don't plan on using them to often.
