I want to enter a SW Campaign, I wanted to play with elder but cant get a heavy weapons platform in second hand and I aint paying 50 bucks for it.

That depends on who you're facing. Scouts have excellent long-range weapons, so you'd struggle to get into range against them and would have to heavily rely on movement and cover (Not that it's undoable), but something like Genestealer Cults you should be able to take them out without a problem.

Doable. Though a heavy weapon platform is really good.

I think you might have the platforms mixed up, the weapon platform in shadow war is the small one that comes with the Guardian kit, not the larger Vaul's Wrath artillery battery one.

Still, you can probably do without the platform if you have enough terrain coverage to sneak up close enough to use the shuriken weapons. The extra range is nice though for forcing engagements.
