Introduction and some doubts about DC Equipment

[Fropopo]

Hi!

 

First post here, but I've been reading the forum (and looking at the incredible minis shown) for some time now.

 

I've just begun painting my first 40k army (I have a High Elves army for fantasy, but my friends don't play anymore), and I've opted for BA since I like power armor, assault, speed and... red! Also the fluff is cool, but the main reasons are the other 4.

 

I already have a 10-man RAS and a AOBR Tac squad, and just have bought a bitzbox (aka DC). I have just begun assembling them and this is what I think is the best config (dont want to magnetise them, i want the bitz!)

The other 2 marines will carry chainswords, but I dont know wether to give them bolt pistols or bolters... what is your advice? Any suggestion or change you think I should make?

 

Un saludo from Spain (and sorry for any grammar mistake I may have made... :( )

Welcome!

 

I would recommend giving the one with the powerfist a bolter, perhaps 1 other one a bolter, and the rest bolt pistols.

 

With only 5, I would not give them more than the powerfist, power weapon, pistol.

I had in mind giving both guys with special CCWs bolt pistols for the extra attack...

Powerfists can't get the extra attack for a second weapon unless that weapon is another powerfist.

 

The power weapon should always have a bolt pistol for the extra attack.

Didn't remember that, thanks for the advice! I think I'll have to read the rulebook... again.
