That flame template will do more damage to just about anything than the one WS4 S4 attack you lose from not having two CC weapons, and no risk of a plasma gun blowing up a guy.

I haven't mathhammered it but I think a melta bomb might be a better hedge against the walker charge than a PF. You get only one attack but it's at str 8+2d6 instead of 1d6, which is a big deal, especially if you get tied up with something AV13 like an ironclad. At only 5 pts for the melta bomb just take it AND the PF, that's what I do :p

Nope we dont get fire

I have 2 10 Man Squads that I usualy put with my Deathwing and I deep Strike them.
They may come late to the party, but if you get them early on it does a lot of damage.
I am also thinking of geting a Damoclise Rhino to help with that.

I have aslo sarted taking an Assualt Squad [10 man], with 2 Plasma Pistols, Give the Sarge a Plasma Pistol & Power Fist, and throw in a Chappy with a Plasma Pistol. Everyone that can gets Metla-Bombs and then doop strike. They chew up Heavy suport unis real quick, Infantry or Vehicle eitherway

As for as Deep Striking them, When I do it usaly when I team my Deathwing, so every one Deep Strikes

I will probalby not Deep Strike my Skyclaws though
