I’d see about removing the Bullgryns for a Taurox Prime for ground support.

Yeah, but Taurox Primes got bumped to 80 Pts. Without weapons.

You get bs 3, though, and you are paying for transport capacity, which is pretty useful.

Pretty much the 4 melta squads drop in t2 to kill units and take objectives and the plasma soften up targets and the drop zones turn 1.
