ok i'm making a 10th company force with some 1st company support for my custom chapter and was wondering:
1) Are sterguards worth it without Kantor?(probably put in drop pods or a razorback)
2)Captain or Chaplain?(Will be run in the sternguard squad or possibly an assault terminator squad)
3)Are whirlwinds any good?(if not any alternatives?)
4)Can i take special charaters but rename them e.g. have Kantor but call him Mr. Captain man or something?

semi-competetive playing nothing too serious or over the top

thanks

1) yes, they are.
2) librarian is better... null zone + avenger are best powers.
3) whirlwinds are kinda suck, predator with autocannon + 2x heavy bolters are same price and more useful.
4) sure, nothing's stopping you. I personally don't, but some people do.

1) I think so, yes I personally run 9/10 dependant on what transport I put them in I also make them melta heavy

2) Chaplain, especially with an assulting unit as you reroll hits in CC

3) No they arent, take a Pred or Vindicator instead

4) Yes you can

this particular force is mainly fluff based and i though that a librarian attached to the 10th company would be an older and more veteran one not doing as much fighting rather than the captain and chaplain who would lead them into battle
