THE HOLY WEAPONS OF THE EMPEROR | Warhammer: Boltgun - Part 1

[@samedwards3186]

That first chaos marine was *perfect*. I can just imagine the self-absorbed monologue he was giving himself, some “I have fought for 10,000 years to dethrone the false emperor and will crush his armies beneath my boot” type shit just to get mag-dumped by an Ultramarine who picked up a bolter 5 minutes ago lmao

also fitting, vs the chaos marines, we *are* a sternguard, so we're at least an elite and maybe bit enraged one.

But also going on a rampage like I did through that cavern in lvl 2 (I just can't stop when the chainsword's going!). SUPER fun imo.

[@weismeister121]

fun fact: If you get the Machine Spirit token for the Boltgun (and not other weapons), besides the upgrade in strength, it also gives you bigger mag capacity (40 instead of 25), which you can chain with the box mag powerup (kraken bolter rounds) and get 100 rounds instead of 60.
