When browsing through the army lists posted, i often see a tac sqaud tooled up to go rip up the enemy in close combat
eg: Tactical sqaud omega
10 marines, Vet. Sgt. with power fist and BP 180pts
I find a better way to do this is to use an assault sqaud without jump packs. The rules allow you to take assault sqauds without jump packs for 15pts/marine - the same as a tac marine. The advantage of using assault sqauds is that you get an extra attack for having two weapons BP/CCW, and free frag grenades.
This option gives you an extra 9 attacks, and the ability to easily take on units in cover for the same cost
