Give Sgts Comm Beads for 5pts. Done.

Why though? That would literally do the same thing as a vox.

I'd rather my SGT, who is usually the most useless member in the squad, be forced to carry the stupid thing in any event. What good is a pistol shot or 2-3 swings of a chain sword? No, I'd rather see him serve some purpose if he can't actually shoot anything...

But you're not sacrificing anyone. They still have a lasgun.

But that's now a valuable lasgun and not something you can just ditch as a casualty without stressing yourself. A Vox on a Sergeant is essentially a 2-Wounds Vox that is immune to D2+ attacks.
Not like I agree with the proposal, but I can see where it is coming from.

What do you mean with immune to d2+ attacks? Do you refer to the second point of damage being wasted on a 1W sergant? Because they would still kill him so "immune" is a bit of a stretch

The 2 Wounds on 2 separate 1W models, so it doesn't matter if it is D1 or D2 or D99, they die to it the same way and the enemy has to waste at least one attack to take out a lasgunner before they can take out the sergeant with the Vox.
