Roster for DAKKA DAKKA Rogue Trader Tournament of 10 November 2001.

vs Chaos (Tzeentch) - WIN
Vs Stone Dogs (Space Wolves) -DRAW (TOURNEMENT LOSS)
Vs Sam Hain (Eldar) - WIN

Roster Notes: This roster used vanilla marine rules, and as you will note, two Devastator squads. I found that the heavy weapons guys in my tac squads never fired their guns, so I decided to just use two Devastator squads instead; one set up for long range support with 3 missile launchers and one lascannon, mounted in a razor back, and the other, with short range heavy weapons, 1 heavy bolter, 1 plasma cannon, and 1 multimelta. In addition, I detached the techmarine and posted him with the long range devastator squad, and detached the apothecary and posted him with the short range squad.

They were very effective, especially the long range squad. The techmarine allows re-rolls of one missed to hit roll, very nice feature that paid for itself handsomely. The apothecary allows for the first failed armor save to be negated, a very nice feature for the short range devastator squad who ended up below 50% each game (they took a lot of hurt, owing to their proximity to the action). In contrast, the long range devastator squad was never below 50% at any time. Against the Eldar they were particularly nasty, when combined with their twinlinked Las-cannon razorback, this unit wreaked a lot of havoc - accounting for a wave serpent, 2 wounds on wraithlord, 2 jet bikes, a vyper, and a wraithguard. In addition, they stunned the wave serpent for two turns.

In contrast, in the same battle, the short range squad took out a vyper, killed off the wraithlord, and in hand to hand combat (which lasted 4 turns) they held of 5 jetbikes (including the wild rider and the farseer) and a squad of storm guardians before finally becoming overwhelmed. The Apothecary was still standing in the end, however, as they were saved by a tac squad and the remnants of my assault squad.
