Editing Bolter (section)

===Inferno Bolter===

The middle child of the Inferno family, Inferno Bolters provide a much better range, penetration as well as coverage of fire at the expense of being unable to be wielded effectively with one hand like the Inferno Bolt Pistol.

These Bolters are now the standard issue weapon of the [[Thousand Sons]], so expect to see a lot of them when fighting these nerds. Like their smaller brethren discussed earlier, Inferno Bolters are Inferno weapons, which is basically the catch all term used to describe a weapon that has been imbued with magical energies with additional power that can melt flesh and ceramite. A throwback to the Bolters which were once common ten thousand years ago, it is the pinnacle of Tzeentchian science and Tzeentchian sorcery infusion with a twist of Tzeentchian alchemy involved – that is to say, complex rocket science stuff. And just like the Inferno Bolt Pistol, the Inferno Bolter stays consistent as being a sub-variant of the Boltgun unlike the [[Soulreaper Cannon]]. Similar to the case of [[Heavy Warpflamer]]s, the Inferno Bolters retain similarities to those same Bolters used during the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy, noticeable by the long sickle magazines. There are also the '''Inferno Combi-Bolters''' which, assuming you have done your crash course on what [[Combi-weapons]] are, are the usual Combi-Bolters used by the Scarab Occult. The only difference here is that they also get the Inferno treatment to better represent the Sortiarius home team. The presence of these Combi-Bolters raises a question to whether other Combi-weapons of the Thousand Sons are still functional and inferno-ified. A "Combi-Warpflamer" is certainly a plausible weapon, on the other hand, "Combi-Warpmelta" are rather unlikely. You may think "Combi-Warpplasma" is likewise unlikely, but it's really only a matter of time until GW remembers Thousand Sons get their own unique "Ætherfire" plasma weapons in 30k.

On tabletop, the Inferno Bolter is the Rubrics' standard guns, an AP-2 Bolter. Costs 2 points and is exclusive to them. And about the Inferno Combi-Bolter, it is basically just a normal Combi-Bolter and behaves just like one – a little disappointing, but it gives twice the shots, so we shouldn't be complaining about the lack of Thousand Sons buffs. If these Bolters aren't doing enough for you, just get one of your Rubrics to carry around a Soulreaper Cannon. Yes, the Thousand Sons' basic troops can lug around Assault Cannon equivalents, cause these Soulreapers just happens to be rotor cannons in all but name.
