     Thanks for the responses. 

    I like the solution for the power sword, with the lack of personal property. I was talking to the player in question who has decided he's not happy with the idea of a Space Marine using a looted weapon in place of a holy chainsword, even if he handed the chainsword to another battle brother on the kill-team who didn't have a melee weapon better than his combat knife. 

    What we've decided on is that either he gives the power sword to an NPC, either a PDF leader or the Lord-Governor, or I have it destroyed due to its lesser quality.

    My friends and I have just started playing this game.  I am GMing for the first time ever, and only one of our number has ever played a W40kRP game before.   We've come up against a few issues so far, and I'm looking for advice to resolve them:

    1) Do hordes suffer the effects of fear? One of the marines has the power armor history that generates 1 point of fear, plus 1 point from his chapter trapping. We were rolling will power tests to see if enemies in melee with him would end up with something bad on the fear table, but I feel that this makes it far too easy to break a horde and that most of the entries in the fear table don't really apply well to whole groups.

    2) Also related to hordes, if they fail a will power test and flee, is there any chance that they can stop fleeing and return to combat? Or do they just run until they leave the combat area?

    3) One of my PCs is playing an Ultramarine Apothecary. He wants to use his Reductor as a melee weapon, saying that the high penetration makes it an excellent weapon. I think that from a role-playing prospective, an Apothecary would not use such an item lightly (the rules for the item state something similar - that item has a sombre purpose and that it would be disrespectful to use it so), and I told him he couldn't do it, especially as an Ultramarine, who stick so strongly to the rules. He got a bit annoyed with me, and I think that he thinks I'm being unreasonable. What thinks the hive-mind on this?

    4) Dodging - is there a limit to the number of times in a round a character can dodge? I had a genestealer in melee combat with two space marines at one point and it kept dodging every time they tried to hit it. Can it only dodge once per round, or does it get to roll agility +10 every time they attack it (with melee and ranged)?

    5) Last one! Can a space marine use a power sword looted from a human opponent? The PCs killed a rebel general armed with one and the assault marine took it, saying that it was more effective than his chainsword. Fair enough, but I felt that a human powersword would be too small for a space marine - the only thing is, I can't see any penalties for using a small melee item, only ranged weapons.
