Howdy!
You can't combine a "called shot" and semi/full auto, but you can take an aim action before just about anything, even melee attacks. I am sorry that you don't allow aim actions in your game. I guess you want every one to spray and pray.

Howdy!
Brother Maynard has been running one in my game for a while.
Here are some tips:
Bolter with telescopic sight until you get "respected" then Stalker boltgun with red dot sight
Stalker rounds are great in the bolt gun especially on full auto after an aim action
Fury like lightning on power armour
Buy a chamoline cloak from DH use the conversion chart
stummers- instant silence
Tactics- recon/ stealth to get team skill synergy
totum of the sun wolf +3 awareness
auspex +20 awareness
Astartes harness- go vertical
mini mines to buy time and space
Dipole mag lock on a "balanced" melee weapon to parry the sneaky genestealers
Be alone but within support range of team and charge/run range of the assault marine
Frag and incediary grenades to cause mayhem
COVER AND CONCEALMENT!
Thanks
Sorry, but you can't combine AIM and FULL AUTO, so Stalker rounds only help with +20 To Hit and -30 to hear it. The Auspex requires a Tech-use test to use, which most newbies don't bother to get (at least until they come across a door they can't blow up and they don't have a Techmarine...). You'd be a bit screwed if all this isn't Signiture Wargear, as the GM can quite happily not let you have it, which makes a nasty GM like me happy
Auspex does not require tech use, It only requires tech use roll for things the PC would not be able to detect. It gives a +20 Perc. rolls.
I am sorry you are a nasty GM. I hope you players are able to find a game that GM is not gunning for them.
BTW I offered the tips to help, not for nasty GM's to "po*p in the punch bowl".
Nice char idea.
I would add the masking screen instead of the robe, as it is not a exotic equipment for DW.
My plan is to give my char a bit more "tactical leader" role as well, using Signum and signum links. So go in alone, check all enemy, call for backup, (activate a tacktic) then use signum targeting to snipe the learders asap and coordinate a devastating first hit. With the masking screen and no sound weapons no way enemy can see/hear me. Now i just have to level up my rank to buy all those fancy stuff.
And dont forget to use hellfire ammo against bosses. Not just against tyranids, due to the 9-10 RF triggering this ammo can do the bigest dmg. 2d10 rending + 2d10 from hit. 5 dice to roll each has 20% to trigger RF. It is cool.
