'Counts As' Sternguard.

My Noise Marines need something to do till the Chaos Codex is redone and they come with Sonic Blasters as standard but still only cost 20 Points. Either that or Sonic Blasters come with a Sternguard-like variety of fire modes.

On that note, Blastmasters will count as Lascannons and Sonic Blasters will count as Sternguard Bolters without stretching the imagination too far. Now they just need an army list of some kind...

Sternguard have a couple of Combi-Meltas so they can suicide forward if necessary. Mostly they'll just fire Lascannons from the comfort of their Rhino.

It's mostly just an excuse to use my Noise Marines to be honest. If someone can come up with a better way of doing it I'm open to suggestions.
