I need some help right now in my 500 point list , this is what stands ( tourny is SAT).

Company Command Squad - 50 pts.

Veteran squad ( 70) x2 plasma guns (30pts) +Chimera (55 pts. ) = 155 pts.

Veteran squad ( 70pts. ) x2 Plasma guns(30 pts. ) + Chimera (.55pts. ) = 155 pts.

Vendetta Gunship ( 130 pts. )

this all adds up to 490 I have 10 points to spend now what I was wondering is do I spend that last 10 on a Melta ( but I have AT covered basically) or an autocannon or heavy bolter. ? I would appreciate any and all help , expected opponents are necrons , CSM , SM , DE , eldar , Orks , and possibley Tyranids ,

Put a couple of flamers on the Command Squad. Right now they are standing outside alone (unless you give them one of the Chimeras). Some flamers make them nasty anti-troop (especially against Orks and the like) plus when they get charged (kill the general) your "wall of death" (D3 auto-hits each) is much better than a few more snapshots hitting on a 6.
(EDIT) Remember, if you put the CCS in the Vendetta they can not issue orders. Vendettas do not have the "Command Vehicle" rule.

**Kasrkin229**

Now How Many Points would it cost for a Flamer ? sorry don't have my Codex on me

**dkellyj**

They hate us putting out direct points cost...something about GW proprietary blah blah blah.
But you can shoehorn at least 2 on the CCS without changing anything around.

I would roll with an Autocannon if you have the chance, that extra 12" range and strength over the Heavy Bolter might be the difference between a kill and not. Imo, go for the stronger weapon; nothing like firing 5 kraks into SM hehe

**TheCaptain**

Nah. Toss the flamers in the CCS and have the CCS embarked in the Vendetta. You can drop it on an annoying target, or toss it down as a last minute contesting unit.

**Kasrkin229**

So right now im looking at Either taking 2 Flamers or an Autocannon , with the Opponents that im facing i don't know which one would be better, i know the Ork player takes x2 30 boy squads with a Weird boy for an HQ and TankBustas as his elites , so im leaning a bit toward the Flamers but i could still roll either way on it , but i want to be able to Stop a Rhino rush filled with Khrone Beserkers.......

**Blaggard**

I'd say get a auto cannon. Possibility of sniping his BP/PK nob on 6's.

**BloodAngels Brother**

I would go With the flamer /Drop to counter Objective.
Reason being you are highly mobile army you want all rapid fire/Assault weapons the Auto cannon will just be snapfiring not realy worth it IMOP

**Kasrkin229**

Hmm , I appreciate all of the Comments by the way , Im leaning more toward the Flamers then anything else , But im still open to other ideas if people are offering
