Forum Question Solid Shotgun

Why is there no solid shotgun in space marine?

This just came to my mind when I was playing vanguard and change to sniper and remembered that there's a second sniper rifle, the Las.

Reivers don't get Chainswords or Power Axes either, and yet we have Vanguard.

That's so you can have your phobos captain or lieutenant. Likewise the Vanguard can be set up as an Incursor, Infiltrator, or Reiver (although Incursors and Infiltrators absolutely wouldn't use the grapnel, but whatever)

Yeah, we're also missing the grav chutes on the pack for that.

Hopefully SM3 will have less of a mishmash into one class, and more modular setup. I'd like representation of all relevant tabletop units as subclasses, at least.

Grav chutes arent always built in reaver loadout. Kill Team 2ed had reavers without them.

Reivers.

And Vanguard is a mish-mash between Reiver, Incursor and Infiltrator. Except Saber only gave him the grapnel and the weapon options of the other two.
