Hi guys,
Wondering about the best way to use an assault squad in a DA Army. Are sergeants with dual Plasma Pistols useful? and are Flamers and Droppods any good?

well, for what it's worth, a 5 man can have 4 plasma pistols, 2 for the sarg, and 2 for the squad.

Only being able to take flamers and plasma pistols kinda hampers them though, as a RW attack squad comes in 5pts cheaper for 2 specials.

Maybe it is an idea to put them in a droppod? Give them 2 flamers and a combiflamer on the sergeant. Gives you a really nice unit to clear out things from cover, all for 105 points.
