the general rule i've found when playing drop troops is that if you intend your deep strikers to actually survive and take objectives, you need lots of 'em!

right now you have a few smallish, yet hard-hitting squads. however, if the rest of your force sits back, then your deep strikers will be reduced to 'suicide squads' who will drop in, blow some shiny stuff to crap and then get gunned down afterwards...
either add-in another infantry squad or two with only special weapons as pert says, or else make sure your game-plan doesn't require your sacrifical troops to actually claim anything!

cheers!
