I'll go for assault marine, I'll probably take signature gear but I'm torn between an arm-mounted mastercraft bolter (godwyn), a boltgun (stalker), or a stormbolter...
I should be finishing my character by tonight (lol if my kids leave me enough time)

@deadpool Sadly, I believe all of those choices require some level of renown you will have to earn as a new recruit of the Deathwatch before you can use them as signature gear. (actively building renown is possible to speed up access to those weapons of course, it'll also build naturally over your team successes).

Power Armor
The weapons and armors used by the Adeptus Astartes are more than simple equipment, even the standard bolters and power armour are sacred relics that carried the fight of Humanity for centuries in the hands of dozens or hundreds of Battle-Brothers.
There are 3 ways to go about your Power Armor history.
First is to chose the started Aquila pattern of the Corerulebook and roll on the Table 5-12 on p. 162. You then select either this number or one number up or down as your history and take note of it on your seeht. By example, if you roll a 1, you may select 1- Cower not before the ennemy 2- None shall escape the Emperor's wrath or 10 -To forget is to forgive. Forget nothing.
Second is to follow the more detailed process in Chapter 3 Extended wargear of Rites of battle. It allows for possible older or newer models than the Mark 7 Aquila model and more tables for history rolls.
Third is to submit a custom made history you think would be awesome for your character and i'll determine the advantages and drawbacks if I approve your story.

I'll drop the signature gear for now and boost some of my characteristics/skills/talents...
And I'll try my luck for the armor (hoping to get the Mk6 "corvus" Armour)...

[ +- ] Mk5 "Heresy" Armour
With the outbreak of rebellion, supply lines fell into turmoil and it became diffi cult to repair and maintain the advanced Mk4 suits. Mk5 was created as a stop-gap, a style with the flexibility to use new or old materials depending on availability. In many cases older, heavy power cabling was used, which created a weak point on the chest. The armour was reinforced with an extra skin plate fitted over the top using molecular bonding studs, thus giving "Heresy Armour" its distinctive
appearance. After the Heresy, most examples of the armour were dismantled and used for spares—the Chapters perhaps
preferring not to be reminded of those dark days. However, it is still commonplace among the hated Traitor Legions.
Mk5 Rules
Mk5 "Heresy" armour carries resonances of the Imperium’s darkest hour and its greatest victory. Battle-Brothers will offer
the wearer their solemn respect. However, members of the Inquisition are instinctively suspicious of any connection to
the Horus Heresy. The wearer gains a +10 Fellowship bonus in any dealings with other Space Marines, but suffers a –10
penalty with Inquisitors and their agents.

[ +- ] Battle Scars: Battered by War
It is obvious that this suit has seen countless warzones, for its surface is pockmarked with bullet impacts, damage from energy blasts and the dents of enemy blows. Not a single part is smooth or unscratched. None
that witness this suit are left in any doubt that it is a weapon or war. The wearer gains +10 to Intimidate test, but –5 to
Charm tests.

[ +- ] Legends of War: A hero's Shame
In the history of this armour, it was worn by a mighty Captain who led his Company in a crucial battle. For some reason, however, the Captain failed in his duty and the battle was lost, along with many brother Space
Marines. Subsequent wearers have fought hard to prove that this was an isolated case, but none have ever become great
leaders. The wearer gains +5 Weapon Skill and +5 Ballistic Skill, but suffers a –10 penalty to Command tests.

@Qralloq Cloten looks good. You can a extra +2 to your Strength Bonus and a +1 to your Movement rate from the power armour stats on p161. and the last thing will be to fill the backstory questions.
@Banshionna Apart for the roleplay part, Hatred talent is only a boost on melee. If you are looking for something to help your role as a Devastator Bring death from afar may bring more to thhe table depending on the weapon you plan to use.
@GreyGriffin Didnt turn out so bad, but nice save on the re-roll ;)
@Deadpool Not to disapointed with your MK5 ?
@Khulod Ar'Mat look good. Might want to add the movement rate (MR) of AB+1 as reference. You will have to change some weapon stats as we will be using the stat found in the living errata (since the corebook version is very unbalanced).
Pretty much all that is left is the backstory questions :)

The bolters don't have full auto in the errata? Booo! Mah lore!Nov 25, 2019 6:27 pm
It's a lot more. A full auto weapon has the option for suppressing fire which semi-auto weapons lack, and the added hits make it far more difficult to dodge.

Enemies that were supposed to be bullet sponge were melting instantly and enormous hordes where disappearing in a single round. (The hordes fight mechanics are not balanced by damage but mostly by number of hits and some talents)
