Basically, my micro-setting is intended to be a satire, a three-man band of Tactical Marines (all with boltguns) defending a street barricade from endless waves of renegade guardsmen (who have nothing more dangerous than lasguns). the joke here being that we have some of the finest genetically-predisposed melee specialists in the IoM (these Marines are from a no name Blood Angels descended Chapter) standing behind a barricade treating the whole thing like a firing range wasting their enormous potential. Of course, the only reason these marines are putting up with it is because of oaths.

Now, i'm tempted to add a fourth figure. Which one seems more fitting/entertaining

Option A - A single scout marine who is theoratically there as a replacement should any tactical marines perish. As that has not happened this chap spends all day running back and forth delivering ammunition

Option B - A techmarine who sits behind the lines making sure that ammunition production is up the scratch

Option C - A fourth Tactical Marine with a Meltagun who sits in reserve making sure that none of the other three start black raging and teamkilling (and just in case the traitors have a AFV)

The scout, and he's really excited and serious because this is his first mission.
