transports are not scoring units. (which is why I laugh when I see a Land Raider as a transport upgrade for vetrans/chosen)

LRC = 245 points (a sink I agree)
but your HQ = 245! lets not be talking about investing 1/8th into a tank when he is doing the same for 1 model.

keep the ISTs, go with the Assault Cannons and DCCW (i don't know that I would upgrade to Heavy flamer or not)

if you reduced your GKs to minimum sized squads you could then field a 3rd squad as well, giving you more versitility and punch

and that HQ is expensive, might be effective, but at a heavy sacrifice. How else could you use some of those points? with an army that tipicly has so few models, is it beter to sink points into a couple or is it beter to try to optimize model count/unit capability? which provides a beter overall effectiveness?
