Whenever a power weapon is acquired, the plasma pistol usually goes paired. Why does he keep his bolter pistol instead of getting a plasma pistol as well?

That's not the case at all. FC power sword also doesn't grant you plasma pistol anymore. It's more of a balance thing.

Thanks, what was wrong with the plasma pistol? Was that overpowered or what?
Especially for the AM sargeant, it seems needed for his "semi-counter to vehicles" role, no?
Re: Why doesn't the Assault Marine Sergeant get a plasma pistol?
Well for the FC in particular he used to get plasma pistol with power sword and it was changed to bolt pistol because the plasma pistol was simply bad for his role in the phase of the game where you'd get a power sword. The bolt pistol is way better at picking off models while chasing regular infantry armor squads.
And no, plasma doesn't counter vehicles. This isn't tabletop.
