Ok, here we go.
I don't have enough lascannons, but if I gave the
HWS missile launchers, then they can still damage AV12.

1,445 points
I will have 55pts left over. I could use that to put sponsors on my tanks maybe?
umm, I wouldn't mix meltas and plasmas in the same units. Pick one and stick with it. For example, one squad gets the plasmas, the other gets the meltas. Helps specialize them more, instead of forcing two different weapons to shoot at the same target. You wouldn't want plasma for tank hunting for example.
On the whole Lascannon/meltas in the same squad, the logic is this. A lascannon is 20pts. Sticking 2 in a blob and using "bring it down" will allow them to make their points back almost always on turn one. You also have the option of using the blob as a massive HWS with higher LD and ablative wounds.
The meltaguns give you an offensive beatstick, and roughly 20 wounds to keep them alive with. Also lets you crack transports and charge the survivors (Hence why you always throw PW's on blobs) Meltas also discourage tank shocking, since everyone will try and knock them off objectives with a cheap rhino if you don't.
Thanks for explaining, that makes sense not having plasma and melta in the same squad. Should I try and keep the vox? I personally like them, but with commissars they might not be as necessary.
