Can
I make changes to the standard lists e.g. arm tactical marines with
storm bolters?
I don't see why a squad could not be
armed with irregular weaponry when going on patrol, as long as the
choices are reasonable, storm bolters would appear ok in this department
to me. This is an unofficial set of rules and how you play your games is
up to you. My normal rule of thumb is to consider whether it seems
reasonable for that change to be made, will it upset balance and is it
in the spirit of the game. I like the idea of long range patrols
developing idiosyncratic forms of equipping themselves, it seems right
that they would be experienced troops who would 'tool up' as they felt
necessary. However to be on the safe side I would discuss any
alterations to the standard selection processes with my opponents before
springing it on them in a game.
