Is this a good shoot-assault captain and command squad?

I want to make use of the 2 attacks the command squad vets give, but also their choice of weapons. So i'm planning to semi competitvly/ semi aesthetically run:

Captain SB + RB + AGL + ARTIFICER ARMOUR
Company Champion
Vet W/ PP + LC
Vet W/ Combi plasma and PW
Vet W/ BP + LC
Apothecary

Opinions?

Give the guy with the PP the PW so he can take advantage of the +1 attack. The combi- belongs on the same model as the LC as a LC only allows additional attacks if you have a second. you are negating an attack from your unit with this setup. Otherwise looks fun to try.

Sweet thanks man!
So I just need to make it:
Captain SB + RB + AGL + ARTIFICER ARMOUR
Company Champion
Vet W/ PP + PW
Vet W/ Combi plasma and LC
Vet W/ BP + LC
Apothecary
I could give the guy with the BP something else, but I want to keep the points down a little.

**timetowaste85**

Give the guy with a BP a PW too. Additional attack, same price.

Oh. Too late, I already built them! Oh well, at least I get to reroll to wound right?

You might want to give some of the melta bombs considering that they have no real AT (except for those krak grenades that they come with, which can only really hurt armor 10 and 11 stuff) with which to take out dreads.

**Ultramarinescout**

I agree with time.

**lipsdapips**

Thanks guys for all the help! I'll see what I can do.

This unit is bad. Soooo expensive, assault terminators would do better. Probably even tactical terminators would do better.

Wtf is up with the combiplasma guy? That's a rapid fire weapon, which doesn't work for shooting and assaulting. Either way this unit is overpriced for its function.

Any advice on how to "improve" this unit is really not going to help much, this seems more of a fluffy kinda thing than practical.

**lipsdapips**

Sorry.
I just wanted to try and make effective use of a command squad without 4x plasma crap.

What do you suggest instead of the combi plasma then?

If you have the points you can mount them on bikes and make them relentless.
