Well, I'm gonna build a 5 man squad with meltas and champ with power fist. Me and Belial tested this scenario against a DA venerable Dreadnought, and 3 out of the 4 times we ran the scenario the Dreadnought was defeated by meltas (although once he forgot it was venerable, I'll take those odds any day!). So I'm thinking against unprotect armour they will be effective. I want the Slaanesh squad not only for their CC prowess, but their psychological effect. If an enemy knows those nasty Raptors are lurking around, they will think twice about trying to be heroic and charge my lines head on (which by the way, ol Belial loves to do with his Dark Angels!).
