[@DepressedSoviet] Seems reasonable enough.

[@BCTheEntity] I need to call you out on something mate:

[quote=@BCTheEntity]
I can make it a las or autopistol instead, [b]at the cost of a lot of his firepower[/b]
[/quote]

Last I checked, a Null's primary purpose isn't to be a walking armory and able to stand their ground in combat. No, its the fact they absolutely fuck over anything relating to the warp. Why would he even need "fire power" of that level to begin with? He's not even constantly trying to fight space marines on a daily basis or any individuals with an equal amount of heavy armor. If he's a decent shot with a laspistol, he can easily take down the average assailant or at least cripple them; las weaponry is stronger than most people give it credit for since everything the IG fights is so heavily armored, it makes their weaponry look weak in comparison.

As for the sword thing, I fail to see a reason why he would need swordsmanship skills. He was in the Proginium mainly because he was a Blank and was trained to harness his powers as a blank no? He's not living on a feral or feudal world where such skills would be wanted. He doesn't seem to be someone driven by high martial prowess/desire/dreams. Plus, a knife is a hell of a lot easier to hide and conceal and nothing in his personality says anything about him being the bold and brash type who wants to show off or doesn't care for subtly. It also leads to the point above as to why do you desperately [b]need[/b] a sword? To make sure he has enough "fighting strength"?
