So I was trying to think of the ultimate assault unit for my Space Marine Army I'm working on, and this came to mind:

Captain Lysander
Chaplain
Techmarine
Command Squad
Land Raider Crusader

The unit would have Feel No Pain, Stubborn, Fearless, the ability to re-roll to hit with bolters (including heavy, storm and pistol), the ability to re-roll to hit in an assault(if this unit charged). And because of being mounted in a Land Raider, it can assault the turn it dis-embarks form the transport. Assuming favorable conditions, the assault range of this squad would be up to 20" (12" transport movement, 2" disembark, and 6" assault). What are your thoughts on this Dakka?
