How dumb would it be...

If you think about what a stormbolter does for you for 3 extra points, it's a no brainer on an efficiency level.

 

to get the equivalent amount of firepower a stormbolter provides over a bolter, you would have to spend at least 17 points (for another veteran).

 

Obviously you get another wound and fill a double battalion easier, but maximizing shots in a single unit also makes your stratagems more effective (+1 to wound doctrines, auspex scan, stem the green tide, eldat intercept, etc) and make your reroll auras easier to place.

Now where do I get 17 Storm Bolters in the design I'm after...

 

Not sure exactly what design you're after, but these exist and look amazing:

I'll be placing an order for some here soon myself.

I bought the “xenos hunters” storm bolters from shapeways. They look good, came quickly. If you are a painting enthusiast (I am not) they have a slightly rough texture to them, which might bother some people.

At this point the only reason I wouldn't take storm bolters would be that I'm taking primaris instead of regular veterans. Storm bolters are that good.

 

I chose to go the primaris route because converting my whole army to have storm bolters or building a bunch of old marines again sounds absolutely horrid! :teehee:

 

That being said storm bolters are probably the more competitive choice for now.
