Is it a good idea to take a oistol and storm shield?

Or a stormbilter and shield, since elites lets us take those now.

On a vanguard? Pistol and shield is okay. Two plasma pistols is also nice.

How are you getting a storm bolter?

I'm not. I misunderstood the elites rules.

Hi guys!

I would like to resurrect this dormant thread and ask for an advice...

I am joining a local Kill Team Campaign next week and I need to build a 20-men + 1 Commander roster (can be updated couple of times during the campaign).
I came up with something, but since I played only a handful of games so far, I am not quite sure how optimised the list is or what can be upgraded.

COMMANDER
Captain in Terminator Armour - 86, Strategist: Storm bolter, Power sword

LEADERS
Watch sergeant - 18, Leader: BoltGun, Power maul, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Watch sergeant - 22, Leader: Xenophase blade, Storm shield, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Intercessor Sergeant - 20, Leader: Auto bolt rifle, Bolt pistol, Chainsword, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Intercessor Sergeant - 21, Leader: Auto bolt rifle, Bolt pistol, Auspex, Frag grenade, Krak grenade


SPECIALISTS
Intercessor - 20, Comms: Auto bolt rifle, Auspex, Bolt pistol, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Deathwatch Veteran - 18, Comms: Combi-plasma, Frag grenade, Krak grenade

Deathwatch Veteran Gunner - 18, Sniper: Infernus heavy bolter, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Deathwatch Veteran Gunner - 18, Heavy: Infernus heavy bolter, Frag grenade, Krak grenade

Black shield - 21, Zealot: Power sword, Storm shield, Frag grenade, Krak grenade

FIRETEAM
Deathwatch Veteran Gunner - 21: Deathwatch frag cannon, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Deathwatch Veteran Gunner - 21: Deathwatch frag cannon, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Deathwatch Veteran - 18: Combi-plasma, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Deathwatch Veteran - 19: Storm shield, Power maul, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Watch sergeant - 22: Xenophase blade, Storm shield, Frag grenade, Krak grenade
Deathwatch Veteran - 14: BoltGun

The Captain will be used for some special missions and is the only Commander model I have, so not much to change here.

It's quite certain from the last year's campaign, that I will have some Death Guard, Adeptus Astartes and Necrons to go through (along with AM, Nids, Genecult, Orks and Eldar)

I would be grateful for any inputs or suggestions.
Thanks
