Hey lads,
I was thinking of running a captain and command squad with -

Captain w/ combi-melta and PF and Melta Bombs

and a command squad with apothecary & 4 vets with meltas.

What do you guys think?

Just make sure you've got some way to get them within 12" of a tank really quickly

put em on bikes or in a rhino and boost hard and fast.

I'd also recommend a relic blade over PF so you don't waste his I5 and still have some AT while gaining huge anti infantry.

What If I gave him artificer armour for longer survivability?

3 wounds on a 2+ save with FNP sounds pretty good to me

A storm shield would be better than artificer armour as many weapons that pose a threat or face a captain ignore armour saves.

Ultimately I'd advise giving them plasma guns instead of melta as FNP helps with any Gets Hot!

I don't like taking combi weapons on anything other than Sternguard.

I'd go with a Bolter w/Aux grenade launcher and a Relic blade.
