What's your plan for how to use them?

Could you save some points somewhere and get Telion in as an upgrade for the sniper sergeant?

With the sternguard I'd probably swap the melta guns for combi-meltas so you can keep that special ammo.

Dropping the upgrades on the Razorback would give you enough points for Telion, or close to, and then you can put a Launcher in his scout squad.

@Kierdale My plan is to seperate the army into teams of 5 guys while still being in range with each other to provide backup. Combi-Meltas sound good but I dont have that much anti tank so i went with pure meltas.

@Rik Telion sounds nice but Im not willing to give up the T-L Lascannon. Reason for heavy bolter is the dedicatednes for anti-infantry and a bit of heavy bolter spam (I got three in the army right now).

Is there any opinions on which combo of weapons i should use for the regular scout squads (see *)?

[rorhammer]

Depending on who your playing the snipers wont do much, but maybe good for camping an objective, at 4+ hit then wound they really need more numbers + Telion to be effective, as a smaller unit they will rarely wound much outside a lucky rend roll.

for the 2 CCW squads, they are not going to scare much, they are better combined as a 10 IMO, the PF's are a waste too although they hurt but they are challenge fodder. Swinging last means they will likely perish first in the challenge rendering those 50 points wasted. Alternatively re quip both squads with bolters and the sarges with combi weapons and have them fly around in the storms shooting stuff Dark Eldar style, could be more effective?

Kantor and the SG in the RB is a sound plan it may take alot of fire, but then other things can move more freely, Id take combi's too theres only so many times you need to fire a meltagun in a game as it will be out of range the majority of the time anyway.

Ok re-working army list now. Check for edits of first post later on.
