I have thought of taking a small squad of Vanguard Vets with JP, a Dread in Drop Pod with Locator Beacon, and another Assault Squad in Rhino and one with Jump Packs. That would bring me up to 2000 but would it be effective? Perhaps 3 Vindicators and a few Baal Preds would serve me better?

I think a few armored tanks would aid this better. a DC dread perhaps too. I dont really like the 5 man scout squad, the power weapon and ML dont seem to mix well.
