===Heroes=== *'''Captain:''' Your gold standard when it comes to Heroes. He's heavily customizable to fit out any mix of shooting (which you can milk out with Relentless granting extra shots) or melee without any issue. They can also grab Veteran Infantry and either Advanced Tactics to add +3" to the shooting and charging ranges of all allies within 12" or War Chant to give Furious and make charging deadlier. **Shooting: The basic assault rifle (or pistol) pretty much give you only one shot, nothing else. If you stick with the default assault rifle, you can buy it an attachment for a gravity rifle (for Rending), flamethrower (for a bunch of attacks), plasma rifle (for AP) or fusion rifle (for making something die a hard). If you instead go for a pistol, you can replace that with a gravity pistol (for Rending), a plasma pistol (for good AP) or a storm rifle if you just want a doubled-up assault rifle. If you're going all-in on melee, you can instead replace that with a Shield for Shield Wall. **Melee: If you just don't care about shooting or defense, you can buy either a heavy chainsaw sword for a bunch of attacks at AP 1 or twin energy claws for a good number of AP 1 Rending attacks. If you're taking the pistol, you can then replace that CCW with either an energy sword (AP 1 and Rending), energy fist (for tank-piercing AP 3), energy hammer (AP 1 and Deadly 3 so you can flatten elites) or chainsaw fist (energy fist but you're doing four attacks instead of 3) **Personal Upgrades: Battle Brother leaders are quite capable of going into multiple roles. The destroyer armor gives very blatant defensive boosts with +3 to Tough and Ambush so your captain won't immediately get shot up. The jetpack gives Flying and Ambush, especially useful since Firefight focuses more on verticality. The combat bike is more mobile in the traditional sense, as it grants Fast and Impact 1 (good for melee) while also carrying a twin assault rifle so you have some sort of shooting. *'''Champion:''' Take your Captain, chop off 10 points and Relentless and you get your Champion. They can be useful in plugging up any options that your captain didn't take or dedicate them to be the choppier since they don't have Relentless to incentivize shooting. *'''Engineer:''' Don't be fooled by the name; these guys are your medics for any tough units you drag along, including other Heroes and Destroyers. You should be wary of the limits of the Repair ability, as it only heals a single wound on a single Tough unit within 2" on a 4+. This replaces the options for special rules captains get, but you can otherwise peruse their list of weapons and personal upgrades as you see fit. *'''Psychic:''' Your most expensive heroes, but they also provide you with your lone psychic casting. Alongside the other upgrade lists open to other heroes, you can also upgrade him to Psychic 2 for extra power.
