I think making them AV5 with saves would be best (No fp) I have a squad of
2 Claws, 2 hammers and a heavy flamer (We have house rules that when a
squad charges, not every member has to charge, ie. some can hold back and
lay ddown covering fire). Those termies are deadly, they gost 560 points
and have levelled armies on their own.

When you dream there are no rules, people can fly, anything can happen.
Sometimes, there's a moment as you're waking, that you become aware of
the real world around you, but you're still dreaming.
You may think you can fly, but you better not try it...
