As the title suggests, squad loadouts? I'm running Black Templars. Was thinking 4x lightning claw and storm shield and then either thunder hammer or power fist on sergeant?
Any better loadout suggestions please?

Now the with the points cost changes for power swords and claws I will probably go 2x power sword and grav pistol, 2x sword and shield and sergeant thunder hammer and grav pistol. That way I got 2x shields to absorb up damage and remove them first and sergeant to deal with heaver targets I may get stuck in to? Quite a versatile unit then?

I run my 5 man unit with 4x2 Claws and Hammer+Shield on Srg.

But i have to say i might change to another shield and fist, cause the invul save is pretty good for survival... many double claws etc. are useless if they dont get to the finish line xD

Only problem I see there is if your tanking the damage on the sergeant who is the only model with a shield in the squad then he's also the first casualty and thus you loose the only hammer you have in the squad straight off the bat?

Would it not be better to put the shield on 1 of your claw models?
