Looks better, Feel free to take both krak and frag grenades if you want. Up to you on that one.

Other than that, just the bit about him choosing to be a tactical specialist, again in this game he may be ordered into several different roles and he doesn't get to pick his own job yet, Especially considering this will be his first actual real-life combat experience.

Sure, some amount of crafting skill is easily justified. Like I said, Salamanders traditionally make their own weapons rather than rely on a forgeworld for supply & they are naturally gifted. Making your own combat knife, making a bolt pistol, repairing your armour are all things everyone will likely due during downtime bits. But you're also in your early 20s, even being a space marine (especially being a space marine) you simply don't have enough time to be a master at anything while also undergoing a lethal & exhausting training regime.

Don't start trying to make plasma bombs before you learn to make a frag grenade.

And while I know many 40k video games have master crafted grenades as a blanket upgrade for game mechanic purposes. They don't actually exist in lore. In fact lore specifically states that consumables are virtually never made to a master crafted or artificer quality because it's seen as a waste of time and resources even by the admech.

That's why for example master crafted bolters exist, but not master crafted bolt shells.
