        These are simply the standard calvary mods, right?

        No need to load them up with special abilities. I
think just giving them calvary is enough - the AV of 3 is
certainly adequate, and letting them keep the 30cm range
keeps them somewhat flexible.

        The juggers are fine the way they are.

        Oi! Where are the disc riders?!?

        Looks like you're using +2 pts for calvary? Just
wondering where you extrapolated that from - as far as I
can tell, calvary costs about +6 pts (looking at flesh hounds
& slaanesh fiends). Chaos Lords don't pay anything, but then
characters get jump packs for free too.

        Assuming +6 for calvary and +2 for skimmer (I have
no real justification for that, I can't think of anything
that could be upgraded to skimmers):

Upgrade to Disc Riders (Calvary) +8 pts per unit

        If you're just modifying a CSM squad, Move should be
10cm, correct?
