Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Space Marines (section)

====Special-Issue Wargear====
*'''Auspex''' - Sacrifice shooting to reduce the cover of an enemy within 12" by 1. Good on an assaulty HQ with abysmal shooting (say, a Captain with a bolt pistol, or a Librarian).
*'''Melta Bombs''' - When assaulting a vehicle, building, gun emplacement or Monstrous Creature, you can replace your attacks with one S8 AP1 Armorbane Unwieldy attack. The chance to one-shot a tank or building is a pretty good way to spend 5 spare points laying around.
*'''Teleport Homer''' - Termies that Deep Strike within 6" of the Homer don't scatter. Only terminators benefits from this so unless you are running a full deep strike terminator army (I don't see a single logical reason why would you do that) the locator beacon from drop pods or scout bike squads is a better option.
*'''Digital Weapons''' - Re-roll one failed to-wound roll in Assault.  Pretty much crap.
*'''Jump Pack''' - A bit expensive at 15 points, it gives the Jump unit type. Grab it if you want your HQ to jump around like House of Pain, whether to chase and smash things or hop to a good vantage point and hand out buffs/mind bullets. Techmarines and Terminator Armor characters can't take one.
*'''Space Marine Bike''' - This changes your HQ to a Bike unit type. You also get a twin-linked bolter and, most importantly, +1 Toughness. Great for any HQ, really, but of special note is a conversion beamer-toting Techmarine. Note that if you have an HQ with a bike, you can take Bike Squads as troops for a CAD - they even got rid of that dumb model count restriction from 6e! Taking Terminator Armor sadly disqualifies a character from riding a bike. If you go bike HQs, consider going White Scars for their bike-specific rules, or Iron Hands to indirectly benefit from the Toughness boost giving you FNP back against S8/9 weapons.
*'''Standards''' - Come in two flavors (three if you count the relic).
**'''Company Standard''' - Available to the Command Squad.  This allows marines of the same Chapter within 12" to re-roll Morale, Fear, and Pinning.
**'''Chapter Banner''' - Available to the Honour Guard.  As above, but Marines within range also gain +1 Attack. The entry ''no longer specifies'' that it doesn't stack with the Standard of the Emperor Ascendant, or even Kantor's +1 Attack, in case you want the killiest/most expensive deathstar possible.
