Actually, the more the merrier. Due the the rule about spreading out your
shots amongst the units in a detachment, those 3DF go a long way, but only
in quantity. Or, you force your opponent to concentrate his AT or DR
shots at them, when he should be killing other, harder, targets.

Not a commentary on your army design, just a note about Battle Fortresses
in general.
