Melee Vanguard Tramples over Tyranids with Heroic Chainsword | True Solo Absolute | Space Marine 2

I wanted to do a melee focused Vanguard run and stack as much buffs as possible, where they can fit that is I'll get to that in a sec. It's actually quite good but most importantly it's pretty fun and I wanted to take the Chainsword for this instead of the Power Axe which would hit even harder but the way they are used is different and just to switch things up and in some ways the Chainsword allows you to be more aggressive than the PA especially with the Vanguard thanks to his increased CHP recovery for melee Attacks combined with the Increased CHP on heavy attacks from the Chainsword, which allows us to trade blows like crazy and stay in the fight. Regarding the Perks I mentioned at the beginning mainly refers to the one we'll take in the first column which is Upper Hand instead of Melee Mastery, it's the one melee buff we can't really take since we need the no knockback. The Inferno Pistols melee buff works without having it equipped, as long as the magazine is empty it's active, which is not the case with retribution and that's why we go with the reduced magazine Inferno Pistol. That way we are able to have one shot loaded which we can use to initiate a fight for example and go in to melee right away without having to run around with the magazine empty all the time and our primary is ready to use when needed. Since we're focusing on melee mostly, we'll be taking tenacity just for the occasional Zoanthrope one shot or to deal big damage in one go wherever needed, tip of the spear would be the alternative, I won't be running it for this because of the melee focus though.
