Plasma Flame allows re-rolls to Hit on Overwatch – quite good given the statlines of these weapons. You’ll have to position them a bit better given the Heavy rule, but the number of shots makes up for it!
#Dark angel painting full
A full squad of these with Incinerators would do between 39 and 72 shots. The plasma incinerator is 18″, with the same statline except for being Heavy and having D3 + 4 shots – simply a must-take, as then you could be churning out between 13 and 24 (!) shots.
They’re close range, but if you put ten of these in a Land Raider Proteus then you can get into that range quite comfortably. A squad of 5 will be shooting at least ten – perhaps as many as twenty – shots which will always force an Invulnerable save on a successful Wound. The D3 + 1 is rolled once for the entire squad before firing. On the tabletop, the plasma burner is 12″ range (so quite short!), S 4 AP 2 Ignores Cover, Plasma Flame, Assault, and fires D3 + 1 shots. These are “a dangerous offshoot of more common plasma technology… any enemy caught in the path… is quickly reduced to molten slag.” So, the weapons – these are really why you are taking the Interemptors. Finally, if you have a squad of 10, a Land Raider Proteus becomes a dedicated transport – which is extremely evocative of the Dreadwing! The Sergeant can also take up to three phosphex bombs, which is a good option. All of this points towards the Interemptors being “pseudo-Destroyers” – not quite as combat-focused on paper, but able to deal damage and then weather a charge (particularly with the Plasma Flame rule). Quite interesting! You can then also take a plasma incinerator with a suspensor web – so an up-gunned version of the plasma burner. +30 pts per additional model, up to a maximum squad of 15 – but that would be very expensive.įor every five models you can take a missile launcher with a suspensor web, rad missiles, and then web and stasis missiles. I am not sure we have rules for the latter yet – or, at least, not in missile form. They have a close combat weapon, grenades ( including rad grenades – a really nice upgrade!) and plasma burners as standard. Basically, if something is good at killing Tactical Marines, it will be good at killing Interemptors, as a rule of thumb. You’ll have to think carefully about positioning them, as their guns (see below) are short ranged.

My first impression there is that these are not particularly hardy models – there is no option, for example, to upgrade to Artificer or Hardened Armour. They also come with Stubborn, which is a great bonus when combined with that extra Leadership.
They’re bog standard Marines in terms of statlines, save for +1 Leadership, and an extra Attack on the Sergeant. You start with 160pts for 5 in the Elites slot. Their armour looks weighty and reinforced, with gas-mask style rebreathers built into the helmets – a very nice touch, as it evokes the idea of the plasma burners giving off deadly fumes. Interemptors are close-assault specialists, a form of pseudo-Destroyer with a similar goal: the utter eradication of the foe removing him from the face of creation itself.
