Imperial fist can shoot in combat with bolters as if they were pistols

For imperial fist i think phalanx warders, a gravis elite unit with bolter/shotgun and shield or power weapon and shield that provide always cover (dense and light) to core units in 6" and if they dont move they get -1 to wound (shield wall) and the defensible and heavy terrain bonus. The point of the unit is to be a bulwark in objetives and a utility defensive bonus to the army while moving.

I dunno, the only weapon that I used regularly that fit the background and rules of the Chapter and the super doctrine didn't change with this update. It isn't like there's much background with the onslaught cannon.Sorry my bad, i was refering to the Bolt weapons.

This last faq has left me quite frustrated. The fact that the superdoctrine no longer works on the most used Imperial Fists weapons leaves something to be desired from a rule that supposedly adds a buff according to the background of the chapter.

Maybe is some kind of bolter shotgun or a rule that improve strenght in close range?

Yes please that would be so cool

In our group there is a blood angel, two ultramarines, one dark angel, one space wolf and myself with imperial fist all of us painted as the represented chapter.

I know it is not a popular opinion but i really like gravis armour (I had 12 aggressors before the codex update) and i would really love to see a troop gravis version, maybe like breachers with shotguns and a combat shield or power axe and shield.
