I purchased my stuff as Device, just cause you can't use Extra Effort with Equipment and all. I might play around with it a bit, but mostly as I was thinking about giving her a Bolt Pistol also, just as a backup weapon

The title suggests that you are still recruiting. Could it be true?
I don't have much experience with WH40K as I just recently got into it but I do know a few things.
If you still are recruiting...
My main concept would be for a Priest/Preacher? I'm not sure what they're called yet.
A support type using the Word of the Emporer to Moralize and Demorilize, and perhaps more. (Don't have my book in front of me.)
Fear the heretic, the mutant and the alien.
The Emporer Protects. Armor save
If that didn't fly
My secondary concept would be for a combat specialist. A former Escher Gang leader from the Hive world of Necromunda. When her gang was drafted by the Imperials. She was elevated into higher training. She would allso have various leader feats and maybe powers? but would be more melee focused.

Okay, I now have the PDF rules in my hand, courtesy of $20 and the ENWorld PDF store. I will read it and build my character over the next few hours and post tonight UK time. I may need some help tweaking and correcting my concept, as I will be about as new to these rules as possible.

I need some feedback. This is NOT a finished concept yet, but probably only needs 30 minutes work to become finished. I just want to know where to put the rest of my points to create a character that fills the biggest gaps in the team.
I believe I have 16 unspent points so far. I may take Luck and some hero points, or buff up my defence, or ... not sure. Help! He is very equipment and power light at the moment, as everyone else seems to be the heavy weapons, with me the support squad.
The character is attempting to fill a classic DnD role of Thief. In other words, the skill monkey. I see him as a mix between Han Solo (roguish character, a bit outside the system, good pilot) with perhaps an element of the hypnotist about him (his ability to implant ideas, extract information, ingratiate himself).

NOTES
Gender: Male
Age: 37
Size: Medium
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 160 pounds
Hair: Black
Eyes: Grey
Physical Description:
Late 30s, handsome face that still shows strong elements of his ancient Japanese roots, black hair shorn short, flecked with grey, light stubble and a silvered winding scar that runs along his left jaw line. 5'11", slim, muscular build.
Kai has the Xeno Catechism tattooed in pale ink onto his left arm, almost invisible, but always with him. He tends to wear dark, practical (free movement) gear, with a long dark gray overcoat with upturned stiff collar. His piercing grey eyes are often hidden behind thin mirrored glasses, and his face seldom belies any emotion.
Background:
Tok is one of the Imperium's best greenskin experts, but his knowledge came at a price. As a young boy he was for noticed as a profound intellectual talent, and was requested to attend an Imperial testing facility. While traveling with his parents to the local hub their mass transport vehicle was attacked by pirate greens. His parents were killed along with the majority of other passengers, but Kai and a few hundred others were kept as live larder.
Kai spent six years among the greenskins as part of their slave labour force (and food supply) on their local system. During this time he tried again and again to raise some resistance, but the people were not warriors, and went meekly to death. Eventually he took things into his own hands.
He seldom speaks of this time, but what is known is that he escaped alone, turning the central fortified Orc encampment into partial life-system failure as he systematically shut down its computer systems.
Kai, too long away from civilization, piloted a tiny craft he had stolen in search of a human voice. It was two months before he was picked up by a passing Rogue Trader, Andu Rowen, signalled by the beacon from Kai's ship.
Kai, now 20, was too old for training, but Andu saw potential in the young man and used him as a backup pilot, becoming almost a father figure to the young man. When, three years later, a greenskin invasion of a nearby system was handed to Andu's crew to investigate, it was Kai who led the incursion team, and reported back on the alien artifact the greenskins were attempting to recover. There was no time to send in the Deathwatch, and Andu sent his best men down. They did not return. Kai, ignoring orders, went in alone using a stolen incursion pod.
His success in the mission did not go unnoticed. He was sought out by the Ordo Xenos, not to be one of their own, but as a possible sleeper. The Order had been the first to spot Kai's potential those 9 years earlier, and now wanted him again. He was too rough a diamond to fold fully into the order, but his zealous hatred was hidden so well behind his calm mind that the order were moved to recruit him.
He speaks little of his times since then, for they were spent in service to the Ordo Xenos. First with his extensive training, and later stationed with a varying group of Rogue Traders. Kai is a gatherer of information. One whose hatred can be hidden behind a veil while he insinuates himself with the enemy, learning from them before he snuffs them out.
He has been sent against many alien races, mostly as an information gatherer, someone who can gain their confidence, but it is the greenskins that he reserves his most wicked fury for.
He has spent over a decade in service, suffering many injuries and requiring extensive implants to his damaged eyes. His innate, almost magical ability in regards to computer equipment have been further strengthened by the implant of a rare transmitter/receiver that allows him to communicate with nearby computer systems.
Weapons and Quirks:
Sky carries a thin bladed power knife. It is his weapon of choice, meaning he prefers to kill slowly when he can.
He prefers single handed weapons, such as pistols, and is not really a big fan of heavy-combat. He believes most missions can be completed using intelligence and turning the environment in your favour, rather than by blowing holes in walls.
He speaks many languages, but doesn't have time for idle talk.
He is happiest among the scum of the universe, for it is from their lips that secrets spill.
He once let an orc baby live after an attack. He knows it probably died anyway, but to this day he still wonders why he let it live, wonders if perhaps there is some weakness in his resolve.[/sblock]
