on the subject of hoard control, 3 catachan sentinels with flamers and hardened fighters can really slow down a big mob of gaunts and allow the infantry to counter charg. just a thought.
Very good advice, I have enough to field an Emperors Talon (10) never had a chance to use it yet. might have to change a few to mount flamers.
