So, this is my attempt to make maximum abuse of a Dual Demi-Company Gladius. For Kor'Sarro's free scout move for anything in a transport, the price difference to a basic Captain is a no-brainer. Trouble is, I'm 25 points over target. What do you think I should drop or change?
Kor'Sarro and the Chaplain each go with an assault squad. The Techmarine? I guess I don't know. Maybe retool a Tactical squad towards "assault" and have the Techie join them as a bully unit?
Battle Demi-Company A
125 - Kor'Sarro Khan: Master of the Hunt, Warlord Slayer, Moonfang [sword]
110 - Tactical Squad [5]: [Nothing]
Razorback: Lascannon, Twin-Linked Plasma Gun
105 - Tactical Squad [5]: Meltagun
Razorback: Lascannon, Twin-Linked Plasma Gun
105 - Tactical Squad [5]: Grav Gun

100 - Assault Squad [5]: 2x Flamer
Razorback: Twin-Linked Assault Cannon
105 - Devastator Squad [5]: Grav Cannon w/ Grav Amp
Razorback: Twin-Linked Heavy Bolter
Battle Demi-Company B

110 - Tactical Squad [5]: Lascannon

Armoured Task Force

So the overall strategy would be to place as many objectives as possible in the centre of the table. Deploy as close to centre as possible, and then scout onto those objectives. From there, circle up the wagons, shoot everything, get blasted out of the transports, continue shooting things. Towards the end of the game, if anything is still mobile, scoot it out towards non-central objectives. Hit and Run away from anything that tried to engage in melee, so that the shooting stuff plan can continue. Everything except the Whirlwinds are ObSec, so survival is the only real requirement.
But I've got to drop 25 points, so what do you think?
I wound up dropping a Lascannon from the first squad, and downgrading the Plasma gun to a Meltagun in the second. Techie joined the "Naked" squad.
