I'm thinking of running two Colossus in my IG army and I am wondering if it is worth the points to give them both enclosed crew compartments, at 15 pts they are not a steal, but it seems like an understandable price. I guess if I have to leave them somewhat exposed then it can be worth it, but does it really help all that much? I guess if I completely hide them its a non-issue, but then there is no reduction in scatter which seems like a big negative. Help me out, what would you suggest?

Ok, so if i give them both cammo netting then that's the same points for the squadron and it sounds like a good deal. Ive just heard mostly that you dont want multiple barrages together because the second shot (if it scatters) touches directly outside the first blast, meaning you probably wont hit too much of your original target. I haven't used barrages much at all before so I wonder if this would be a good option or is it better to leave them in two separate squads so they don't affect each other's shooting.

By the way, I will also have a LRBT and a LR Demolisher in this list so that should take some attention off of the artillery
