Don't you think that it's a little... well little detachment? 6

Marines it's only 12 points of fire power (0 for the rhinos). Of

course you can hide it easily but it can't make real damage against a

big ennemy detachment.

Sounds better. Not too big so you can move fast and hide easily, not

too little so you can make damage to the ennemy. I like it but I

would only take one or two of these detachments to harry the

opponent.

Add to this detachment one captain and one psyker and it would be

fine I think.

>Land Raiders.... use in LARGE groups. 10 would not be unreasonable.

Oups! This must be your private steamroller! I prefer using my land

raiders as support units for my devastators units and for my armoured

detachments.

Thanks for the ideas, I'll try them as soon as possible.
