[Astral Claw 126]

Well, I have 2 squads of 10 Raptors that are slanneshed out ( I only have them as 10 men to fit in with my Battle Company). A couple of things. I do like the idea of Noise Raptors for close assault work. You are talking, what, an average of 4 attacks on the charge swinging at I5? That is some good stuff, espescially if you are slicin n' dicin puny CC weaklings like Guard or Tau. Now, me personally, I like to gun my raptors with Meltas and use them as highly mobile tank busters, and use Termies to slaughter infantry. However, you do have a smart idea. My only tidbit is drop the plasma guns, they aint worth blowing up in your face (tho Slaanesh likes pain....mmmmm...pain....). Also, as for Icons, I use the small icons that comes with the tanks. Since there is no such thing as vehicle dedication anymore, you can use those, and they are a lot more flexible than the big icons that come with the CSM squad. I actually have one Champ hanging his icon around a certain "private" area of his body. You can also glue it to a shoulder guard. Finally, you can cut a small trophy spike from a tank sprue, drill a small hole in the pack, glue the icon, and Voila! an icon bearer with his hands free!

Also, screw the purple colors. GO PINKIES!!!!!
