Ultramarines legion Destroyers on the job, purging the living groxdrop out of some poor non-compliant world
Oh yes, this I love with cute little 'x's on the end.
*cough*
Destroyers? Never heard of these guys before.
they were a special unit type employed by many of the Legions during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy. Destroyers used all sorts of horrific special weaponry based on Dark Age tech: radiation bombs that would make the molten Chernobyl core look funny, gas, biological agents, an exponentially much much worse version of white phosphorus called "Phosphex", tactical atomic weapons; basically anything that could destroy everything organic in the target area. even in all the grimdark of Warhammer they were considered a horrifyingly cruel asset, especially when used against humans. if you want to Exterminatus an area instead of the entire planet, call up the Destroyers and prepare the cleanup crew.
their weapons were so isotope-heavy that their armor was mostly black from radiation burns. even inside their reinforced armor the weapons' effects turned their skin pale and caused Space Marine cancer. Their way of waging war was just that bad.
needless to say, the Death Guard Legion absolutely loved them.
Think Vanguard Veterans with two bolt pistols and grenades but worse. More shooty with Rad munitions. Because the xeno-scum and Traitorous scum deserve nothing less.
Dark Angels had a Deathwing/Ravenwing style formation for them, called the Dreadwing.
Couldn't find a decent hand flamer model Joazz? Regardless the Flamer doesn't ruin how nasty Destroyer Marines are. IMO these guys deserve more depictions than the HH books give them. As they truly embody what it means to be "Grim Dark".
Some how at least two other Legions went out of the way to make them even worse.
yeah i haven't made a hand flamer yet so went with the basic one
