I don't know if I'll ever use them all, but I had fun putting them together out of odds and ends. The eventual goal is to have a guy for each of the special weapons for each of my 4 tactical squads (I have three squads right now, and I'm starting a 4th).
I say if you like putting it together and painting it, then there's no need to limit yourself. It's a hobby, enjoy it.
Snap, enjoy the modeling so much more then the painting!
I have, 11 combi melta, 4 combi flamer, 4 combi plasma and 4 heavy flamer all scratch built sternguard. 6 plasma gun marines, 6 melta gun marines, 5 flamer marines, 15 missile launcher marines, 6 lascannons marines, 6 plasma cannon marines, 4 multi melta marines, 5 heavy bolter marines, 6 melta gun assault marines, 4 flamer assault marines, 2 plasma pistol assault marines.
Now the sargs are the most speical weapons, I have around 25 sargs with every load out you could do, from dual hand flamers, dual infernus pistols, dual plasma pistols to power fists to power swords and axes but with and without jump packs. As well as 4 dual lightening claw vanguard/sargs, thunderhammers etc. Also have 4 death company with power fists, 3 with power fists bolters and jump packs few scouts with
