Generally designing this army to be versatile, and be able to take on all comers.

I'm using the GW Steel Legion troops as the base, and they come with a Missile Launcher and grenade launcher as standard.
I'd also like opinions on using those weapons, as I've heard mixed reviews: Some people say they're versatile and so therefore useful... others say they're useless.


Company Command Squad with Lascannon, Laspistol, Plasma gun and Regimental standard: 100pts

What do you think?
Thanks

Well, in small point games you need numbers in the first place, and this is what the army has. You need to keep the enemy at arm's length. Not sure if the grenade launchers serve you well.

Missile launchers and grenade launchers are *bad*. Very bad. I cannot stress enough how bad they are. Heavy weapons wise you will be wanting either autocannons or lascannons. Special weapons wise you will be wanting plasma guns or meltaguns.
Platoons aren't terribly effective in small points games, consider going mechvets?
That CCS will want to make use of BS4, so using every weapon slot is generally considered a good idea.
