Right, so I got a box of tactical marines the other day and instead of using them as ANOTHER ten-man squad with bolters, I thought I might go and make myself a 10 man Command Squad instead.
Conversion time! So far, I've got two marines with two bolt pistols (Counting as a Bolter - you see, I have True Grit for my squad, so they all get an extra CCW anyway - might as well have a Bolter and True Grit instead of BP+CCW), a Marine with two combat knives and a pistol slung away (I'll stick a Bolter on there somewhere for WYSIWYG), one Marine with two flamer pistols (see below), a Standard Bearer, a Company Champion with a specially modelled Bolt Pistol (those are cut up missiles from the missile launcher sprue acting as barrels in the picture below FYI) and a combat shield (stolen from the Tau), and lastly a Sergeant with two chainsaws (BP+CCW, BP is on his leg).
Coming soon is a Marine with two Plasma Pistols and the other basic marines.
P.S I know it's been done before

C+C please
By the way, who can actually hold a Company Standard? Or a Sacred Standard? They're listed as a Standard Bearer Only (or something) but Standard Bearers in the Command Squad entry aren't allowed access to the armoury?
Thanks!
