Comment
I figure that Sicarius failure lies in that he doesnt perform well in eitier a close combat role or a support role. Beside for the points he cost its like a better deal to eitier get Lysander for CC power house or 10 pts cheaper Vulkan Hestan who peform the support role and a pretty good CC fighter.

So i decide to buff his blade to up his CC skill(noted i took off Coup de grace to compensate)So he now a Str 6 with average of 4-5 attacks.

Another buff i made is how he upgrade the Tactical marine. Instead of a FOC individual upgrade. I made it like a squad upgrade but it need to pay for it.

I made his plasma pistol as an option so player choose to not get it and spend the points on other things or he can commit Sicarius into combat.
