I don't think so. The movie was not a very good adaptation of the book
even if it wasn't bad.

Atreides were not the only one to use shields, all the other Houses used
them. But as you wrote it, a laser and a shield is a bad mix...
I think that an Epic army for Dune shouldn't use long range weapons as
the most fights were close combats.
Perhaps a rule could state that the player may choose to use the shields
of a detachment (giving an armor bonus of +1) risking to see it
destroyed by a laser shot.

I agree.

3 is too low I think. They are great warriors, a 4+ or even a 5+ should
be better I think.
>Both should be stubborn.
I agree.

I don't agree, standard IG stats should be better. In the books, many
references point out their bad quality as soldiers.
