I think they are relatively under used because of the stated reasons about chaplains and Librarians but also this:
For another 25pts you can get a Chapter Master (basically a captain with a pie plate orbital strike...) so if you DID take a captain you may as well make it a master instead...

I dont take named characters, they cost to much, but for the same price as a captain in term armor i can get a Chaplain with term and get honors of the chapter.
I guess What i want to know now is what do you think can be done to make the on foot captain better and more appealing with out breaking him?
Why do you have the Captain on foot?

Why not? I've been succesful with a captain and sternguard in a drop pod.

Of course it makes sense. When there are a bunch of BDSM clowns doing Olympic gymnast routines throughout your unit, while also cutting off heads, you tend to get a bit distracted.

Well i dont really run a bike army i run more or less a gunline army with a chaplain thrown into a god hammer LR to stop assaults. I would like to run a captain but i just cant see them being as useful as a chaplain

One type of a captain I'd like to run (and convert) would be equipped with a combi-melta, plasma pistol and auxiliary grenade launcher just to get as much guns on him as possible. There would really be no point other than it looking hilarious.
