Which squads (across all Legions) do well with hidden Power Weapons (or equivalent AP3 that's not on Sergeants) vs other Marines in CC?

 

SoH Reavers? NL Raptors?

 

What else?

 

Edit - Excluding the obvious TDAs.

Templar Brethren come stock with Power Swords on Every model so I doubt they count. In the same vein, Phalanx Warders can swap their bolters for a Power Axe on a Model by Model basis with a few other options.

 

Palatine Blades can have Hidden Power Swords/Phoenix Spears in their Squads.

Assault Squads have 1in5 Power Weapons + Sarge so a Squad of 20 can have 5 Power Weapons in it....though they are far from the best. Legion Tac Vets can chose Furious Charge as their Veteran Special Rule and have hidden or squad-wide power weapons too.

 

Not too sure about WE Rampagers but they might?

 

RG Dark Furies all have Lightning Claws stock that can be upgraded to Ravens Talons.

 

Ultramarines Suzerians all have their Fancy Axe which is basically an Ap2 Power Sword and their Locutarus Squad all have Power Swords stock too.

 

Apart from those listed here and those you've mentioned, most of the other Legion Units are Terminators so I'm not sure if they're what your looking for.

If you're looking for the most effective CC unit, thats a bit harder to Determine though the Suzerians having Squad-wide Initiative Ap2 Weapons make them stand out since the majority of these squads have Ap3 or Ap2 with a Gimmick such as the Palatine Blades who get it on the Charge. It mostly comes down to how you use them and how much they cost.
