Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Space Marines (section)

===Gravity Gun Spam===
This play style is strictly used against other Space Marines or any unit with 3+ armour or better.

Use Ultramarines chapter tactics as you will definitely need the Devastator doctrine for re-rolls (or [[Star Phantoms]]). This play style will require 3 five-men devastator squads with fully maxed grav cannons with grav amps and an armorium cherub. Also, ally in a Librarius Conclave with 3 librarians with/without mastery level 2. Make sure all librarians choose the Divination table. When rolling for powers, always change the power for the Primaris Power unless you rolled 3: Perfect Timing. First of all, Prescience allows re-rolls to hit. Secondly, Perfect Timing ignores the annoying cover saves that hinder your grav weaponry power. Thirdly, why the conclave? Because if you keep the librarians close, you can succeed on powers on a 2+.  Switching multiple librarians to the primaries power allows for redundancy, in case you lose one (or two!).

Assuming we have the 3 squads of dev using either the doctrine, cherub, or Prescience, that will be a total of 60 shots if they do not move. Devs hit on 3+ with a re-roll, which leaves an average of 53.5 shots hit!! Now here is the fun part. Since grav wounds on the armour save, let's say we are going against Space Marine Power Armour, that will be an average of 47.7 wounds with no armour saves!! Plus if you have Perfect timing, your opponent may just rage quit due to the lack of both armour and cover saves against 48 potential casualties. For Normal Termies I did the math and there will be an average of 34.3 confirmed kills excluding possible FNP. Termie Assault will yield a lower death rate of 17.2 confirmed kills excluding FNP. Against vehicles, each squad will do an average of 5.5 glances.

If math is not enough for you, I used this strategy against my space marine player friend who played a game of 1200 pts with me. I altered the list a little, but in the end his entire army was wiped out while I had lost 4 devastators and 1 librarian. Watch your opponents remove his miniatures by the tens.
