Title says it all except one thing,

I heard that if you give them a seargent they make a legal squad....

just wondering if anyone knows if im right.

The armor distinctions between MK's are simply ornamental and serve no purpose in gameplay.

I believe the OP is asking if the following products can be used to field squads in the current codex:

(in which you have :
a Marine Sargent with a Bolt Pistol and Power Fist,
a Marine with a Pair of LC's,
Two marines with Bolt Pistol and Chain Swords,
and one Marine with a Power-axe and Bolt Pistol)

(in which you have :
a Marine with Power Axe - plasma pistol
a Marine with Power sword-plasma pistol
a Marine with Bolt Pistol -Power fist
a Marine with Bolter
a Marine with Single LC and Bolt Pistol)


I reccomend the OP check your Marine Codex under Veterans / Vanguard.
