little mor naturally, especally since they have such small detachments that
you almost have to use diffrent detachments for diffrent missions. For instance.

the Dark reapers exarchs gives them a respectable CAF. This should provide
some defence against CC. Also everything has a 45cm range, so you should
punish most opponents from a distance. Also, that much firepower should
place enough blast markers to slow down your opponent.

Depends on your playing style. I tried something like that and they were
completly useless most of the game, they were out of range. My playing
stlye has me on the opponents side of the board, assault dive behind cover,
assualt. So fire support doesnt work for me too well. Whats your gaming style
