The Heavy Bolter Turret is a Space Marine Building in Dawn of War. Constructing these allows the player to defend key positions as long as it is within the Control Area. Building a Heavy Bolter Turret costs 150 Requisition and 75 Power. All Heavy Bolter Turrets have 1200 Hit Points and like all artificial constructs, it has no Morale.

Description

  • Emplaced turret equipped with twin-linked heavy bolters.
  • Effective against infantry units.
  • Can replace its default weapons with anti-vehicle weapons.

Strategy

Well, it's a box with heavy bolters. Decent against infantry, it can be upgraded to missile launchers, making it deal additional bonus damage against vehicles. If you really need them to defend something, build several and mix both types (missile launchers in the back row as they have longer distance). Even if the enemy has no vehicles, have some missile turrets - they will knock infantry around and your bolter turrets will pick them off.
