Company Veterans build - tweaks wanted!

Just posting this here since there was already a relevant discussion going on this topic.

 

My question is: do we believe that in the current Storm Bolter/Chainsword meta build, that replacing chainswords with storm shields have merit? Given the CA2018 point drop.

 

My gut says that losing 4-5 paltry attacks and costing you 8-10 points, is totally worth gaining the 3++ saves.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts, anecdotes, or math on what might be the better option?

I'd rather take Stormbolter/Stormshield. Especially with the Bolter Discipline Beta rule now. 3 S4 AP0 melee attacks is just not good as we've seen with Reivers. If you want melee Veterans give them proper power weapons.

I still need to get some games in with them, but the mix I've decided on is:

 

Sgt - Power Fist and Combi-plasma

3 Veterans with Shields and Combi-plasmas

Veteran with Combi-plasma and Power Sword

 

True, it's a lot of points in one basket, and they're probably more akin to faux-Hellblasters than anything else. I'm just wondering whether 3 shields is enough.
