I play Guard and have recently just started an AdMech army. I have been looking for ways to add some melee support into my ranks. Ive looked at SW allies, DA allies, Infiltrators/Ruststalkers, and GK so far.

I would like to keep within the battle brothers limits, although I have considered Demons via summoning from the IG psyker formation.

I would like to keep it on the cheap side(points) and I dont enjoy playing blob guard.

The most successful thing I have used so far has been 10 Death cult assassins, with a Ordo Xenos inquisitor, rad nades, psyker upgrade, in a chimera, but they are a little difficult to get around and into battle without an assault vehicle. They were great at killing MEQs, and lower but are laughable against a friends Necron royal court, or TWC deathstar.

Any thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?

I mostly play Tau, but I have used a mini-TWC deathstar to provide melee support to great effect. It's an option worth considering.

SW. New Wulfen models look promising and TWC are proven to be deadly, very frequently found in top ten unit lists.

I was afraid I was going to get all TWC responses haha. I was hoping for something out of the box, I have already considered TWC.

If I were to go with TWC what is the cheapest way to get them into an ally list without a ton of tax? And what would be the preferred size/loadout?
