Why are some configuration just better?

I don’t understand why some configuration are simply better, not more optimal, but just straight-up better.

I’m currently assembling my Lord Commissar, and out of curiosity, I looked at the stats for his weapons. I was quite surprised when I compared the different options.

For example, when comparing his power sword and power fist, the stats are the same except that the power fist gets +2 Strength and +1 Damage with no downside.

The same goes for the plasma pistol, which gets better Strength and Armour Penetration.

I don’t play competitively, only casually (so my friends and I agree on the stats we use), so it doesn’t affect me much.

Still, I think it’s sad that Games Workshop doesn’t provide any real alternative equipment choices for some characters.

Is there a reason for this?

Asking for advices to begin an Krieg Army

Greetings,

I’d like some advice for building a strong 2000pts Death Korps of Krieg army for Warhammer 40K.

Right now I own :

-The Death Korps of Krieg Battleforce

-The Astra Militarum Krieg Combat Patrol

-2 extra Death Korps squads from Kill Team boxes

-Lord Marshal Dreir

-The Tempestus Aquillon

I’m not necessarily looking for a hyper-competitive tournament list. I’d rather invest in units that are stable over time — classic “safe value” choices that tend to stay useful across editions and balance changes.

Hope you can help me !

Have a nice day !
