Okay, just finished my scratch build captain but then i saw its available stuff, Plasma pistol 15 points,........... Take hell fire rounds 10 points

I got kinda stuck between a plasma pistol and hellfires.

Hell fire rounds get to wound on a 2+ while plasma pistol has AP 2 and S 7.

I just need an opinion of someone who has played with the 2 options and which is better. Thanks

Plasma. For 5 points more you get to kill termies. And its S7 means you will wound most targets on a 2+ anyway.
Having the ability to instakill T3 isn't bad either.

Hellfire rounds are only worth taking if your captain is riding a bike. You want your captain up in peoples' faces and chopping heads off, and if you shoot a bolter you can't charge afterward. Either take a plasma pistol or combi-melta.
