Catachans actually becoming a melee battleline unit would be sweet.  Maybe you can choose whether they become scouts or they have better melee weapons to give them some more broader applications.

Just compared Cadian vs Catachan command squads and the Cadian can be more heavily kitted for melee than k the Catachans

That's what im saying; it's silly that the Catachans are obviously supposed to be our up close fighters, whether it's melee or just close range shooting, and Cadians should be the point holders. I think Cadian command squad having some melee punch is fine, but the Catachan side should get a glow up as well to bring that niche into actual existence.

 

Plus then I can use some of these Solar Auxilia firemen in my army lol

I wholly agree. The commander should get a PF, and like 2 generic power weapons.

 

but as far as up close shooting the Catachan command squad isn’t bad, getting a PP, 2 specials, and a heavy flamer. Mine is set up flamer, melta, hvy flamer, PP, vox. It should provide some very solid close range fire support capability.
