Psyker Battle squad in a Chimera, it's a mobile unit that can throw out a large (varying AP) blast or cripple the leadership of an important foe in order to force them to fail thier Ld test or pin them.

That was going to be my suggestion. My other suggestion would be a squad of 10 Ratlings for some more anti-MC output. Maybe Marbo?

[The Man They Call Jayne]

Those Ratlings are annoying as hell.

Its not so much the amount of damage they do, its the 2+ cover they can get that bugs me.

get 5 stormtroops, give them either a power weapon, plasma pistol or melta gun and put them in a chimera, I use storm troops all the time and even a amall amount can turn the tables

Also if you want, get rid of the chimera and get even more storm troops in the squad and then deep strike them in.

[Schev]

Wow, I thought everyone had written off Stormtroopers in the new codex. What exactly do you use them for?

[field marshel R Ironballs]

interesting, I'm not a fan of ratlings, as mine seem to shoot like orks, and they dint really fit with the mech mantra of my army. but the phyker battle squad is an option. what do we think of autocannons on these outflanking chimeras? Stormies are a thought but they are expensive for what they are

[Schev]

I'm a fan of Autocannon outflankers. I have a question - how often are you able to keep your LRBTs sitting still to utilize the sponsons? I've been going sponson free for the most part in 5th ed as I always seem to be moving. Autohitting assaulters is bad news!

[field marshel R Ironballs]

i try to keep my LRBTs at long range, shooting across the table. i find they are worth thier points, evan if they are 10 points over cost. its a 10 point upgrade not 20 >

[Unholy Harbinger]

I ran a points check on your LRBTs and it came to 555points not 455.
