1. Allow 20 man tactical squads.
2. Allow Bolt Pistol + CCW swap for free from bolter for Tactical Squads.
3. Allow 2x special weapons to a tactical squad.
4. Give the Black Templars back their Holy Hand Grenade.
5. Allow tactical squads to buy a CCW for 2 points each model.
Why would I ever want 20 tactical marines in a squad? No really, why?
Because it would look cool.

But why? Since no transport (except FW or IG Baneblade Variant ally) has the capacity to hold that many, you're forced to footslog your marines across the board. That's literally the worst tactic for using a tactical squad. Even if you could combat squad to 2x10, you'd still have 10 guys on foot, unless you actually use a FA slot to buy an additional empty drop pod.

You don't slog them anywhere. You don't transport them anywhere. You camp!

2 heavy weapons shooting in the back, with 18 bolter dudes playing checkers? Sounds swell!

Shifting a 20-man Marine unit is costly for most non-cheese options. With ATSKNF, it can be very costly. Especially if there is enough terrain.

Oh yeah lets take away the few toys Chaos Space Marines have over loyalists.
Oh yeah, lets take away the few toys that Blood Angels have over vanilla <./end sarcasm>
Hypocritical much?
Tactical marines need to change, as they are basically irrelevant at the moment.
Well the problem being that it's all straight up things that CSM has over the base SM (cept SW)

2,3 and 5 you mean? Already doable by loyalists from FW chapter tactics and SW's. Sorry mate.

Yeah we already know we're done better by playing any codex aside from ours, nothing new really.

The saddest part is, that the SW:Champions of Fenris is like the perfect CSM:Khorne Supplement.
