I am actually going to change my command squad sometime because it is overly expensive and doesn't do much.

Right now it looks:

Sergeant w/ Storm Bolter & Power Fist
Company Champion
Standard Bearer w/ Combi-Melta
Apothecary w/ Chainsword and Combi-Melta
Veteran w/ Thunder Hammer & Storm Shield

If i'm going to take a CC squad in future i'm going to take:

Apothecary w/ Chainsword & Storm Shield
Sergeant w/ Lightning Claws
3 Veterans w/ Lightning Claws


Lose the company banner cause unlike the chapter banner it doesn't give you any extra attack. Lose the Company Champion cause all you get is a slightly more close combaty guy in power armour.

With a Long Range shooting Command Squad:

Sergeant w/Combi-Plasma & Lightning Claw
Apothecary w/ Combi-Plasma
x 3 Veterans w/ Plasma Guns

Not sure the Apothecary is eligible for upgrades, since he has a separate statline, and therefore upgrade options (none) than the Veterans.

TheRhino is correct.

The apoth is too busy giving his squad FNP to purchase any other equipement (other than a bike).

So... torrent of fire can kill the Apoth and woop woop FNP is gone.

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Hmmmmm so the bit that says "Any Veteran can take....." doesn't apply to Apothecary?

Bummer

Correct. This is because he has his own statline, which says "Apothecary", not "Veteran(Apothecary)." Unfortunately. It would just be a little OP to allow him a 3++ save to preserve the already-rocking FNP ability.
