Filling my core with two 10 man tac squads both with heavy flamer and melta gun and will be in drop pod. How should I equip my sergeant. Rest of army will mainly be dante with sanguinary guard and death company with jet packs.

I have the same loadout for my BA Tac Squads. On the sergeant, I like to just have a power weapon. If you do this, take a pistol as your other weapon, as it means that you get an additional attack. I personally just use a bolt pistol, but I wouldn't say no to an inferno pistol. Alternatively, you can use 2 Inferno Pistols in order to make use of Gunglinger. A Power Fist and a Combi-Weapon is pretty useful as well.

Power fist and combi weapon looks nice but a bit pricey. Probably get a pistol and power weapon. You reckon it's worth spending the 15 points on the power sword for the ap or just go for the free chainsword. I know theirs no ap on it but it's free and I would still get the extra attack for two hand weapons just no ap on it?

Mind you if it was a power weapon with a pistol I forgot that would be two attacks he would get and both would be at ap3 I take it even though the pistol isn't ap3 and then in that case it would be worth it. Question now is pistol and power sword or pistol and lightning claw. 2 attacks at ap3 or one attack at ap3 with re roll to wound?

CC weapons on a 1W model is really not effective. Go with a combi weapon at most.

I run mine the same and just take a combi melta. You don't know how long they'll last under return fire and if they get charged whatever it is will probably kill them, also you'll be lucky to get the charge which is the only time BAngels Tac squads are anything special in combat, so for those reasons I stick with a cheap and cheerful combi melta and don't take power weapons like other have suggested.

2 melta shots and a krak grenade out of no where is great
