What I meant was that a specialist squad like the Assaultsquads, Aspect 
CC versions would have a bonus to the reaction test, not b/ of armament 
but 'cuz they KNOW they will win IF they get into CC with the enemy. 
That's why they should have that bonus.
 
Picture Magnus standing, wielding a sword (wooden, not strong enough)
and 
a solid tin can with a portable flamethrower in one hand and a Chainsaw
in 
the other bouncing in 40 meter strides thanks to the blow torch strapped

to his back...

Another question... Jumppacks, are there any rules for them?
