Limited on models hey... well lets see what we can do.

I would switch the Heavy bolter from the AF squad to one of the non-mobile infantry platoons. If you want the AF to be a combat support then I would give them a Vet. Serg and a little bit of a bite in the form of Power Weapon and Bolt Pistol.

I understand the temptation of including a Tech preist, but in my experience they are sweet looking models, but don't preform that well. Now in Appcololypse battles that is a different story...

Harden Vets are always a great Choice. The ability to out fit them with so many special weapons and choices is great for flex ability and adaptiablity. Choose wisely with these guys either go all heavy weapons or all Assault weapons you want them to either infiltrate to a great firing position and stay put or skirt the edges of the enemy line and take out vunarble week spots in the enemy lines.

Ogryns... well I have never really been a fan of trying to incorperate Agressive CC into a Guard army. And that is what Ogryns scream to me BEAT YOU IN THE FACE! so I stay away from them. The AF squad that you have should do quite nicely for a defensive CC unit that can go where the enemy tries to brake through your lines.

That is more of my two cents,
Servo
