I'm curious about the coldstar with flamers, it's throwing away a 2+ BS for weapons that randomly hit priced for BS4+. You'd probably get as many shots with burst cannons but at higher S and not need to get so close meaning a different choice of relic is possible (though not necessary, ours aren't that interesting imo).

Riptide and broadside combo is good for keeping your heavy hitters alive and with versatile weapons.

It's more about left over points really, I wanted 3 fusion blasters. Just thought the flamers would be cooler as he can advance 40 late game for far flung objectives and still shoot but 3 burst cannons can work too. Leaves 3 points spare.
