Whoops. I missed that. Try taking a Wraithguard stand, adding a warlock
and upgrading him to HQ. You get a 6 armor, an AT shot, and since all the
other infantry in the detachment are 15cm range, you don't really lose
anything in that respect. It comes out at about 54 pts + the falcon, IIRC.
Much cheaper, and almost as good as having a 4+ (was it 3+) armor and a
save, plus you get to trade 2 fp for an AT shot. You do lose 5cm move, but
I think it's worth it if you are riding anyway.
