Been looking at the land raider spear head from the SM codex and how I can use that in my other armies.
I think I found a use for bullgryns! Plus, assaulting demo vets will put the serious hurt on any tank or MC in the game with that many melta bombs. So I made a list, hope you like it!

Priest goes with bullgryns in Crusader, Demo vets go in other raiders. I gave them flamers because of the demo charge, this will allow them to take on any type of unit they come across. Charge and flamers for infantry, meltabombs for tanks. Rough riders follow up behind one of the Reg Raiders to support the vets. The Sentry vets move up and take objectives, one has the commissar in it. Assassin is there to be annoying as she can set up very close to the enemy. I'm totally happy dropping her, I just don't know for what else to take as I have no guard tanks. I think she'll work well as I can threaten an antitank squad, which will stink for my opponent with 3 raiders on the table.
Thoughts?
Edit:
I could also make this a 1500 point list by dropping the assassin, a sentry vet squad, and the rough riders. That's a thought too cause that hits hard for that point level I think.
