Good idea, I didn't think of that combination. A problem with it though,
is that the detachment won't be able to buy Chimeras to transport
the Ogryns around, because you can't buy Chrimeras as supports.
So the Ogryns would have to go round on foot, which would limit the
mobility of the Rough Riders. Also Considering that mobility is a key
reason for taking Rough Riders, otherwise why not take Ogryns instead,
they have a higher assault ability than Rough Riders point for point.
Were as a infantry detachment that has IG heavy weapon troops solely in
its main force, can transport all the Ogryns brought as supports in the
IG heavy weapon units Chrimeras.
