Total = 1999 points and because its a brigade = 9 command points + 3 base total of 12

Won't the command squads just get nuked immediately? 4 guys for 52 points seems like a bad idea (even if they are very heavily armed)

I generally prefer SWSs with plasma as they have 6 models rather than 4 and are a little cheaper (though this does cost in damage output)

A real possibility...but then where do the meat shields for my order spamming officers come from :( snipers will be a problem

I do own 145 infantry models so i was thinking of running 6 x 20 conscripts, 3 commissars, 3 priests, dropping the wyvern for 2 full 10 man squads of ratlings

I'm just not sure using expensive plasma gunners as meat shields is the best idea! They'll be targeted as a priority then you'll be back to square one with protecting characters from snipes... I'd just get more commanders/commissars personally if you're worried about them being sniped out.

Both lists sound fun though and look very strong!
