Thoughts, ideas? I need to have this finalised by the end of next week, so any advice will be welcomed.

I'd try to fit a railhead as well for AV14 work and it can put a nice dent in hoardes. Personally I'd use a Burst Cannons on the heatwaves. Triple flamers on them would be very nasty. Surprised we are allowed to do that now actually. Makes for some interesting load outs.  Commander with twin, twinlinked plasma would really hurt termies.

Ideally would need more troops. You'll have to protect them during objective missions.

Well I could break them into teams of 6, lets me cover more ground, but leaves me vunerable to losing a whole unit at once.

I could switch out the Ion Cannon for a Railgun, but the AP3 Large Blast will do more for me against all the troops I am facing, and it gives me more shots on Overwatch and Supporting Fire. And the Blackout Teams are my main heavy armour as the only AV14 I can be facing is Landraiders, which will be getting close enough to drop troops at me.

Burst cannons was my original choice for the other weapon. Bit more range incase I don't land exactly where I need to. But the unit is a suicide squad, they should land, kill many things, then die the next turn. I may switch it over again.

I meant add another hammerhead if you can, I agree a ion cannon totting longstike is best for those points.
