Hi folks, I'm currently assembling some blinged-up sergeants for my assault squads using the vanguard sprue and slightly stuck on the weapon options. This is for non-competitive play, most likely in a demi company lions blade (not a full company).

Current plan is one larger jump pack unit for when I feel like attaching characters and bouncing about, and one 5-man with two flamers in a pod, switching between the two for list variability.

I'm thinking power sword / bolt pistol for the jump pack sarge, and just a straight-up chainsword / bolt pistol on the pod sarge (assume for a moment I'm not keen on loading him down with a combi-flamer, and I've got some pretty chainswords from the vanguard sprue).

So, the questions are: Is it worth losing the bonus attack but gaining shred by giving the bouncy sarge a lightning claw? And for those of you playing flamers-inna-pod, do you find the two actual flamers get the job done without a combi? Is it worth giving the sarge a PW or will they just get shot?

Thanks for your time.
