That looks really good. I would make the Srdaukaur CC3; they were terrors to all
houses except Fremen. the Rapid Fire for Atreides makes sense for the movie, but
having Assault would seem more appropriate to the books.
Just use the normal barrage template for the Laser/ Shield effect; it was really
powerful, and we don't have to make new templates.

The house loyalists look just like IG, so thats a good start for points. I think
that there were posts last year about the "formula" for working out points, and I
may have one myself lying around from when I made the Squat Army List.

Good Work.
