So I had an idea the other day about weather or not the deathwatch would have access to the weapons of the ancient destroyer squads. While rad grenades / missiles and atomizer are available, and still seem to be held in disdain when used against humans. I was wondering if , somewhere in the back of the armory perhaps, There might still be some of the more potent weapons? phosphex being a prime example.
This lead to the thought, what if the omega vault turned up a set of destroyer armor and weapons that have seen obvious use? how would different marines react to that, and would any choose to don it despite the stigma?
and the last thought was about potentially making a destroyer elite advance for devastator marines, maybe for those who see that even heavy weapons are not enough, and decide to bring the most lethal of man-portable weapons to bear, despite the physical cost, long term fallout, and ancient stigmas against the use of such weapons.
Granted I have not given the last too much thought yet, but could defiantly see negative cohesion penalties. When you have flame based weapons that even the Salamanders find abhorrent, you know they are some bad stuff.
