3 possibilities out of 36 to kill a single stand isn't that broken,
IMHO (1/36 with plague knives)

Cos:
Ok , but wich model will have the sword ?
I prefer to give a malus on the enemy unit who fight the plaguemarines (like
the plague bearer)

Sonic blasters haven't all that range or penetration... there are
Blastmasters for that work *hint* *hint*

Cos:
So you are planning to give an "havoc noise marines" ? In this case to keep
useful the simple noise marines , i propose to change the Warp Scream in
this way:

Warp Scream (only for noise marines)
 All stands charged by a unit with this ability must make a Morale
 check: if failed, the caos player can chose an enemy close combat dice to
be re-rolled

Here it is my arguments.
If i can buy a very good troop (havec noise marines), i never buy a "normal
troop" (noise marines),and the warp scream ability for havoc noice marines
is your version.
