This seems to sound like solid advice... I like to use them personally BUT the get crushed alot and seem to be incoming fire MAGNETS....

I agree with the autocannon...I rarely use a multi las and almost never use lascannon (it dies quick!!). the autocannon us helpful for troops and such even marines. I ALWAYS give them armor upgrades because #1 they draw fire and #2 the armor is like reinforced tissue paper (10 all around). I dont use the flamers much as I rely on my foot troopers for that. And I usually do have a chimera AF squad around them. I never realized it until it was brought up by lynxrpken, but I do protect them with the troops.
