Flyers on the ground are probably assault value 0, or 1 at best. Use
the normal armor value - all set.

----> Ask around. There may be some SM/TL vets who have a whole chapter,
if they really liked one chapter - it's only ten company cards, approx
200
stands of infantry...
Ya know, I have 4 UM co's, and a ton of tac marines still on the sprue.
 That's not too far off. Scary.

As for more infantry, if you mean marine figures, I'd try and find an
old set
of the prior space marine box sets 1st or 2nd ed. Tons 'o Tacs in there.

If you mean from the lists, I'd say take 'em as main & support both for
a few det's and see how that works..
