A '''Devastator Squad''' is a type of [[Space Marine]] Squad. Devastators purpose can be put in simple terms: blow shit up. Devastators function as the heavy weapons specialists among Space Marines. They serve as tanks hunters, artillery experts, and just plain shooting the crap out of the enemy with [[bolter]]s. Common weapons include [[heavy bolter]]s, [[lascannon]]s, and [[missile launcher]]s. In [[Codex Astartes|Codex]]-Compliant Chapters, after a [[Scout]] receives his [[Gene-seed|Black Carapace]] and becomes a full battle-brother, he will be assigned to a Devastator Squad. This allows the new battle-brother to bond with his [[Power Armor]] and learn its strengths by lugging heavy weaponry around, while keeping him from having to directly engage the enemy before his close-combat training is more complete. | A '''Devastator Squad''' is a type of [[Space Marine]] Squad.

A Devastator Squad is a type of Space Marine Squad. Devastators purpose can be put in simple terms: blow shit up. Devastators function as the heavy weapons specialists among Space Marines. They serve as tanks hunters, artillery experts, and just plain shooting the crap out of the enemy with bolters. Common weapons include heavy bolters, lascannons, and missile launchers. In Codex-Compliant Chapters, after a Scout receives his Black Carapace and becomes a full battle-brother, he will be assigned to a Devastator Squad. This allows the new battle-brother to bond with his Power Armor and learn its strengths by lugging heavy weaponry around, while keeping him from having to directly engage the enemy before his close-combat training is more complete.
Among the Space Wolves, the role of Devastator Marines are held by the Long Fangs, Space Marine veterans who have grown "long in the fang" (i.e. old -- Fenrisian humour is something of an acquired taste) literally longer fangs than their Furry fellows, dickbag, it being a feature of the Space Wolves' geneseed that their canine teeth continue to grow throughout a marine's life. The Black Templars have never been big on Devastators, preferring instead to run charging toward the enemy screaming a litany of curses while swinging power and chainswords at them. That said, they recognize the usefulness of Devastators and so will usually assign the job to Initiates and Neophytes.
