General game plan is for Straken to lead the charge with the 20-man blob squad. PBS+manticore can pin high profile targets. Lone infantry squad goes in the vendetta to make it scoring. PCS jets forward to melta something. The stormtroopers have the special operations that allow a re-roll of the deep strike scatter, which will allow them to drop in and suicide melta something. Vets can advance or lay down fire in their pillbox. A big worry I have is that I've only got two troop choices. I don't really want to go the spam mech vets route, but I still would like to remain competitive.

With Straken, you might want to try more troops - specifically more blob squads. Otherwise, just drop him. I'm going to try him out too, but I think I'm going to try him with 2 x 30 man blobs.

Here's an updated list. I removed Straken and the related combat elements of the CCS and just went with 4 plasma guns. I used the points to add a melta vet squad for the valk. I also re-arranged the PCS by giving them flamers and a ride. I was thinking of spending the remaining 30 points on demolitions for the melta vet squad, although I'm not convinced that it's worth it, despite not having anything better to spend the points on.

I think I'll spend those last 30 points in an astropath.
