Like I said a special effect is not always desirable, sometimes you need to take out an individual target and not harm the miniatures around it. Imagine a Genestealer appearing between your troops, you don't want to fire an area of effect weapon into a crowd with your own models in it.

True but only in rare situations and you pick one for the whole mission. They others are more effective and have added cool factor as well for the special effects, I can't see why you'd choose the storm bolter for the rare occasions when it allows you to shoot just one enemy when the others wouldn't.

I'm not trying to be awkward or argumentative but the storm bolt is to your special weapons what the heavy bolter is to the heavy weapons, ie a step down. Think of the assault cannon vs the heavy bolter, there's no situation where the heavy bolter has an advantage.

The bolter targeter says bolters so it's not even really an edit and it would give a very good reason to take the storm bolter.

More posts are always welcome, thanks for choosing to share your work here

I've got something a bit special that affects each squad uniquely lined up. :) I'll post it when I've finished the flesh tearers, black templars and deathwatch. They're very distinct from the way the other chapters work, especially the deathwatch and the black templars to a lesser extent. They haven't been fully assimilated into the other squads yet with their available heavy weapons.

I'd love to do proper cards for them like you've done when everything is finalised.
