your SoB should be packing "Inferno" Shells for their Shotties anywway, Puerge some Heritics & Muties in the trud Big ""E" way

also hand flamers could fit into the description.

picking up Flame Tallants is a bit of a ways off for starting characters, 200t a pop for a two shot weapon, you'd need a brace of them to see out a fight, or 1000t for a Serphim Hand Flamer, Shotgun + Inferno shells or Blazer Shells a cheaper and easer way to get the Clensing power of Flame in your hands.

Isn't Inferno shells heretic purging done better via bolter?

Regardless, I like the way you're thinking

Bolters and their Ammo are both hard to come by and expencive, becides Starting Charaters don't have the nessery Weapons Talants to use them letalone aford the Guns in the first place, nore the ongoing income to fill a clip.

Bolt weapons aren't for starting characters in the first place, they're supposed to be mid-to-late level weapons. Starting characters will lucky if they get a grenade launcher, let alone a bolter.

Gernade Luanchers for Starting Characters, perhaps if a party sold off most of their gear and pooled it, but who could use it? Guardsmen at Rank 2 and SoB somewhere before Never without an Elite Advancment.

Well, Inferno Rounds don't strike me as starting character ammo either at 18 a pop (that's 21 manstoppers or 360 regular bullets) . If I sold everything a sister can spare as a starting char(the las pistol, replace mesh cowl with flak cloak,  sell the flak chest if allowed, starting cash) I could maybe get a pump-action and a full clip of inferno rounds. Emperor help with affording any reloads though.

I thought that by the time I can afford more than a few Inferno Rounds I can get both Pistol Training (Bolt) (sisters get it at rank 3) and a Bolt Pistol (250 thrones, rare).

Keep your Armor, You'll need it, sell the Las buy a Pump Action and get a Inferno or two for spechial ocasions and use just normal Shells for your daly shoot, or an Armogedon (with fire selector) with a Clip of Manstopers for spechial ocations and a couple of clips of normal rounds for a normal day at the office.

untill you hit rank 5ish you woun't have enough saved to pay for your own Bolt Shells, so if you want to take up the Bolter at Rank 3 you beter get a Paytron to pick up Ammo Costs.

the lasgun variable setting rules from only war really make lasguns somewhat useful for starting characters. maybe check that out?

I recall that in dark heresy, it doesn't matter if you don't hit with a grenade launcher, the rules for grenade misses make it possible.
