I'm disappointed by the absolute absence of any upgrade for melee. There are plenty of things that could have been incorporated from previous manuals..
There are a ton of melee related abilites taken straight from Acsension like Slayer of Daemons, Killer of Aliens, Scourge of Heretics, Preternatural Speed, etc.

Yes and those are all talents right ? I'm talking about weapon upgrades.

In my view, fluff overrules minmaxing. If your player is trying to req. cybernetics feel free to limit him or just say no. The space marine almost never gets to make the decision as to whether he gets a machine arm or a vat grown arm, and then he has no real say over how good the machine arm is.
If the marine has not done anything noteworthy enough to earn the "Dread" status they woud just send him home to be an instructor. The old fluff has the old marine who lost his legs working back at the Chapterhouse riding around on a small tracked vehicle.
Enough said, say no or administer Emperor's mercy.

Well, I made a Blood Angel Tactical Marine and to stay in character with the background I wrote for the CE Edition rollcall I took Signature Wargear as well. (Yep, I bought a normal book as well for gaming)
Since the tac. marine already starts out with a Bolter with Fire Selector and 20req points worth of special ammo each mission I used the 20req from Signature Wargear to add a Telescopic Sight for 6, a Silencer for 3, a Dipole Maglock for 5, and I spent 5 points on Stalker Rounds so I get 1 clip every mission to start with. Total; 19 points.
Together with the Calculating Personal Demeanour and the Fury Like Lightning (very agile) background for my armour the character rounded out well into my earlier written background, which was done even before I got the book. ^^
The plan is to slowly turn him into a sniper, gradually upgrading the Signature Wargear to Master and beyond.
IIRC you can't take special ammo with signature wargear

That is indeed correct.
