Yes, there were a couple big questions I wasn't sure about.

1. With the ability to upgrade a sarge to an apothecary, I wasn't sure if I could then still buy terminator honors for him to gain access to the armory. (this is also why I kept the units large, so I had to buy less apothecary's ).

2. If I needed more body's for the devastators.

The power fists on all my guys weren't complimented by a pistol because the fluff in my chapter has them disliking close combat (but the fist I go just in case a vehicle or unit reaches them). This also fits in with the "honour the emperor" trait, where the veterans and HQ could gain a 6+ invul save against shooting only. I envisioned them deploying 18 inches (or 12 if theres cover about that) from a heavy weapons squad or ordanace vehicle ect (something squishy and stationary) and just raining down fire on them. With a 6+ invul save in the open to give them something against plasma and such, and an apothecary to negate a wound in 3 of my 5 squads, I figured they could really take a beating while just firing away.
