Got a pretty big battle coming up in a couple weeks. 15,000pts between 6 players. IG, Space Wolves, Marines on my side. Nids, Iron Warriors, and Tau on the opponents side. I'm trying to support both wings of my force. Assaulty Space Wolves, and Shooty IG. So I went about half and half on my army. I've got about 250pts left over, and 2 slots to fill it with (1 troop, 1 fast attack). I'm open to suggestions. And yes, I know my HQ is a HUGE point cost, but I made it like that for a reason, and I'm not changing it, so don't even bother suggesting it. I'm open to anything else.

If your HQ was legal I'd say hey, go for it.

Unfortunately we can't put jump packs on our command squads just by willing it into the rules.

**djones520**

Yes you can. They are all veterans with terminator honors, hence they get to choose equipment from the armoury.

**Longshot**

Incorrect. Doublecheck your rules.

Being a veteran sarge or a character with terminator honors allows you access to the armory. Having terminator honors does not. I'm at work, so you'll have to find the reference yourself, but I'm fairly positive this has been hashed out

By character I mean a squad character such as an apothecary or champion or similar.

If I'm wrong I'll eat some crow but I seriously doubt it.

**djones520**

No, I believe your right now, just didn't want you to be, because now I've got to completely rethink my delivery system of mass HtH death.

So taking the Jump Packs, and Power Weapons, that free's up 150pts more. So I've roughly got 400 pts to play with. About the only way I can get the squad across the board quickly enough, and in range to assault, now would be to put them in a Land Raider. But I'd have to free up a Heavy Support choice for that. I'd bank towards swapping the Pred Annihilator out for it, but even then, I'm still free with about 300-350 pts. I was thinking maybe another Assault squad, and a Scout sniper squad?
