I would like to see alternative ways to play the classes, like replacing Iron Halo with Fragstorm Launchers, or a unique melee weapon for Tactical of just the bare fists of the marine. So we can live out our punching fantasies of burrowing through a horde of enemies of The God Emperor with our Faith and Fists. I know it wouldn't be as effective as other melee weapons but it would be pleasing to just have a punching match with a Tyranid, since we see in the finishers, our Marines able to disassemble the xenos rather effectively with just hands. Another mannerism of subclass could be giving Bulwark or Heavy the Boltstorm/Flamestorm Gauntlets, sure we wouldn't be able to carry the shield or a side arm, or for Heavy's concern, a primary and secondary, but said gauntlets are melee with ranged additions. It would allow for a different way to play the classes that way we can have more cinematic goofiness with punching out enemies. Could also give players access to The Stormbolter, as a heavy hitter for some classes like Bulwark.

Another mannerism of alternative ways to play certain classes, given Tactical, and Vanguard the Astartes Shotgun. It would give some players the satisfaction of hunting Tyranids with a shotgun, and offer some the enjoyment of getting closer instead of further away from Extremis or Terminus entities because some have the mental thought of Invulnerability when offered a sweeper of hordes.
