Guys, following a few games where my HWSs have been a bit meh, and reading a number of posts on here, I am considering dropping them. I have 2 Lascannon squads, and 2 Autocannon squads (full list below) - that's 360 points.

One option would be to instead have a new platoon, platoon command having autocannon, then 2 blobs of 20 men, +2 lascannons and 1 commissar in each. That means dropping 3 rough riders which I'm probably ok with.

Another option, which I like fluff and army look wise (the army is based on Black Hawk Down, and these'd be helicopters!) is to take 2 Vendettas, plus a 5 man stormtrooper squad with 2 meltas - I'd need to find 5 points but that shouldn't be hard.

The concern with both these options is that I am not replacing the autocannons, and with option 2 my force denial plan kinda went out the window...

Thoughts on the above and any other alternatives very welcome!

Thanks

Well that list is strong, my only input is take of the roughriders flamers that will mean more lancing and then you got 10p so spenda as you will!

Thanks - but I'm not asking about the list - I am deciding whether or not to drop the Heavy Weapons Squads, and if so what to replace them with...

Iknow but that was my genral input , and yes the black hawk down think would be cool and competive and i found your 5ps needed, the flamers of the roughriders.

Sorry for the blatant bump but any ideas?
